Your Parents Took Care of Everything.
Let Me Help You Take Care of Them.
Hospital discharge coming up? Safety concerns at home? Andrea can have options for you within 24 hours — free, personal, no pressure. We help Florida families find the right assisted living, memory care, or in-home care — at no cost to you. Home base: Pinellas County. We're now beginning to help families in Texas and Hawaii, too.
Four Simple Steps. Zero Stress.
Completely Free.
You are dealing with enough right now. Andrea keeps this easy.
Tell Andrea What's Going On
Email, text, or fill out the quick form and tell Andrea about your loved one — their needs, their preferences, your concerns. No script, no sales pitch, no obligation.
Get a Personalized Care Plan
Your dedicated advisor hand-picks communities and care providers that genuinely fit — based on needs, personality, location, and budget. No generic lists.
Tour With a Knowledgeable Guide
In Pinellas, Andrea schedules tours at your convenience and goes with you — pointing out the things families often miss like staffing ratios, activity calendars, the feel of the dining room. In Texas and Hawaii, she prepares you with the same checklist, joins the tour by phone if you'd like, and tells you honestly if nobody from SCG has walked that building.
Move Forward With Confidence
Andrea helps with paperwork, move-in coordination, and follow-up. If anything changes down the road, she is still here. Your relationship does not end at move-in.

Meet Andrea — Your Senior Care Advisor
Finding the right care for a loved one is a big decision, and most families feel the weight of it immediately. Where do you start? Who can you trust? How do you know if a place is really as good as it looks online?
Andrea created Suncoast Care Guide because she believes every family deserves a trusted advisor during this process — someone with local knowledge, honest opinions, and no agenda other than finding the right fit.
She has spent time getting to know the communities, the staff, and the real day-to-day experience at senior care providers across the area. She pays attention to the things that matter most: how residents are treated, how responsive the staff is, and whether a place feels like a home or an institution.
Andrea works with each family individually. She listens to your concerns, learns about your loved one, and helps you explore options that genuinely make sense — not just options that have availability. And she does not disappear after placement. She checks in and stays available for whatever comes next.
Your Local Advisor Who Knows Pinellas County
Inside and Out
Andrea is our founder and your Florida guide. As we grow, the person who helps you will be someone who knows your area. When you contact Suncoast Care Guide, you are not routed to an out-of-state call center. You are connected with Andrea — an advisor who lives here, shops at Publix on Gulf-to-Bay, and has probably sat in the same waiting room at Morton Plant that you have.
Personally Toured and Vetted
Andrea visits every community and provider she recommends. If she would not feel comfortable placing her own family member there, she will not recommend it to yours.
Based in Pinellas County
Andrea lives here, raises her family here, and cares about this community. From Tarpon Springs to Gulfport, she has visited every corner of this county.
100% Free, Always
No cost to families. No sales pressure, no quotas, no "preferred" providers getting pushed on you. Andrea's only loyalty is to your family.
Andrea Stays Involved
Andrea does not disappear after placement. She follows up, checks in, and if needs change, she helps with the next transition too.
Full-Process Support
Andrea helps with the whole journey: research, tours, paperwork, move-in, and follow-up. You never have to navigate this alone.
Fast When You Need Her
Urgent hospital discharge or safety concern? Andrea can have personalized options to you within 24 to 48 hours. Reach out directly and she moves fast.
Senior Care Across All of Pinellas County
Florida is our home. We're now starting to help families in Texas and Hawaii too — with the same free, local-first approach. We'll only call ourselves “local” when we truly are. Pinellas County is home to one of the highest concentrations of senior living options in Florida. That can make the search feel impossible. That is where Andrea comes in.
Also serving: Seminole, Pinellas Park, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar, Indian Rocks Beach, Belleair, Gulfport, Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, and all communities throughout Pinellas County.
Questions Families Commonly Ask
We know you have a lot on your mind. Here are honest answers to the questions families ask us most often.
There is no catch. When your loved one is placed in a community through our guidance, the care provider pays a referral fee. This is standard practice in the senior care industry. You will never be charged a penny, and our recommendations are based on what is best for your family — not who pays the most.
In Pinellas County, we personally visit and evaluate every community and care provider we recommend — staffing levels, cleanliness, food quality, resident engagement, staff turnover, and the overall feeling of the place. If we would not feel comfortable placing our own family member there, we will not recommend it to yours. In Texas and Hawaii, where we're just getting started, we apply the same standards through licensing records, inspection reports, and direct calls — and tell you honestly when we haven't walked a building ourselves.
In many cases, we can have a personalized list of options to you within 24 to 48 hours. If your situation is urgent — a hospital discharge, a sudden decline, a safety concern at home — reach out directly and we will move as fast as you need.
That is one of the most common situations we see, and it is perfectly okay. Part of our job is helping you figure out what level of care your loved one actually needs right now. We will talk through the options, explain the differences, and help you make an informed decision without pressure.
No. We help with the full range of senior care: assisted living, memory care, in-home care, independent living, skilled nursing, respite care, adult day programs, and more. Whatever your family needs, we can guide you.
Absolutely. We will walk you through typical costs in Pinellas County, explain what is and is not included in monthly fees, and discuss payment options including private pay, long-term care insurance, and VA benefits. Our facility-paid placement service is for private-pay situations; if your family will rely on Medicaid, we will gladly point you to the right free resources — in Florida, the Area Agency on Aging of Pasco-Pinellas Helpline at 1-800-963-5337 and the state facility locator at quality.healthfinder.fl.gov; in Texas and Hawaii, the federal Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 connects you with your local Area Agency on Aging — so you still get real help, just from the right door.
In Pinellas — yes, if you would like us to. We can schedule tours at your convenience and attend with you to point out important details you might not think to ask about. For Texas and Hawaii, we prepare you before the tour, can join by phone while you walk through, and will always tell you plainly whether anyone from SCG has been inside that community.
We do not disappear. We follow up to make sure the transition is going well, and if any issues come up — with care quality, billing, or anything else — we are a phone call away. If your loved one's needs change over time, we will help with that transition too.
We serve all of Pinellas County, including Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Largo, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Seminole, Pinellas Park, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar, Indian Rocks Beach, Belleair, and Gulfport. If you are in Pinellas County, we can help. We're based in Pinellas County and help families throughout Florida. We're just beginning in Texas and Hawaii and don't have a local guide there yet — if you're outside Florida, reach out and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help you where you are.
Just reach out. Send us an email, a text, or fill out the short form on this page. There is no commitment, no paperwork, and no pressure. We will have a conversation with you, learn about your situation, and go from there. Most families tell us they feel better after just the first conversation.
You Don't Have to Figure
This Out Alone.
Whether you are just starting to research or need placement this week, Andrea is ready to help. Every conversation is confidential, every recommendation is personal, and the entire service is free.
