In its announcement, Aging Advocates CNY didn’t provide any financial details of its acquisition agreement with Senior Home Care Solutions.
“This acquisition aligns with our mission to promote dignity and independence for our clients while providing peace of mind for their families,” Melissa Murphy, founder and CEO of Aging Advocates CNY, said in the announcement. “We have a great working relationship with Senior Home Care Solutions and deeply respect their service to the community. As our population ages, it’s crucial to maintain quality in-home care providers in Central New York.”
Ohstrom and Murphy also co-founded the nonprofit Living with Dementia CNY, which provides support, education, and resources to personal and professional caregivers of those affected by all types of dementia in Central New York. Ohstrom will remain involved with Senior Home Care Solutions in a consultant role after the acquisition in 2025 while focusing on her role as president of Living With Dementia CNY.
“This is an exciting time for both organizations and the Central New York area,” Ohstrom said. “By combining our strengths, we can better serve our clients and help more seniors remain in the safety and security of their own homes for as long as possible.”
Through this acquisition, Aging Advocates will absorb 60 employees from Senior Home Care Solutions, including part-time and full-time caregivers, and an office management team. This brings Aging Advocates’ total team to 70 employees.
Aging Advocates and Senior Home Care Solutions will continue to operate independently but will operate out of the same office, along with Living With Dementia CNY.
