Lisa Honka, Founder, Senior Living Advisor
Your Key To Senior Living Options was started with one goal in mind: to help find great homes for seniors in The Villages and across Central FL.
Founder Lisa Honka brings a wealth of hands-on expertise. With over 10 years of experience in the Assisted Living industry as the Director of Sales and Marketing and as a community liaison, Lisa realized her passion and dedication would be best utilized in educating families about the resources available to them. But by working for just one community, her effectiveness was limited by not being able to offer truly objective options for each senior’s unique needs. She was thereby inspired to launch Your Key To Senior Living Options.
“I was working with a family in crisis who was looking for assisted living for her mother. I discovered my compassionate approach really helped the daughter handle the complicated issues and emotions of the task ahead of her, and helped their mother feel good about this next chapter in her life. I knew right then that I would launch this business,” Lisa says.
We help you ask the questions you didn’t know to ask and get the answers you didn’t know you needed.
We are a unique resource for seniors and their families who trust us to help them find the right supportive living community. Making an informed decision for such an important choice takes time and industry knowledge that many families don’t have. As The Villages Senior Living experts, our team is uniquely qualified to help. We have over 75 years of combined experience working with hundreds of seniors and their families.
We understand how difficult the transition from your own home to a senior living community can be. That’s why our team is dedicated to taking the stress out of the situation by narrowing down the choices of communities to ones that truly meet your unique needs.
Not all communities offer the same care levels, dining options, and amenities. It is important that you have an experienced guide who can simplify the process and keep you focused on what is really important in choosing a new community.
We have helped hundreds of families with this transition and it would be an honor to help your family.
