Senior Living Guidance in Palo Alto

Serving Palo Alto, Atherton, Menlo Park, Los Altos,

and the surrounding Peninsula communities

When someone you love needs more support, knowing where to turn can feel overwhelming.

Families often find themselves navigating medical needs, emotional decisions, and time pressure — all at once.

You don’t have to do it alone.

Katie Cooney, founder of Hand n’ Hand Senior Placement, provides thoughtful, concierge-style guidance to families in Palo Alto and across the San Francisco Peninsula, helping you find the right senior living community with clarity and confidence.

​Support for Palo Alto Families — Every Step of the Way

Katie works closely with each family to understand what matters most — not just care needs, but personality, preferences, and family dynamics.

Together, you’ll explore options for:

• Assisted Living
• Memory Care
• Independent Living
• Residential Care Homes

Her goal is to help you feel supported, informed, and confident in every decision.​​​

​A More Personal Approach to Senior Living

Katie’s work is deeply personal.

From 2019 through 2023, she worked inside assisted living and memory care communities — including during the COVID-19 pandemic — supporting residents and families during some of their most difficult moments.

When families couldn’t be there, she often was — sitting beside residents, offering comfort, and making sure no one was alone.

That experience shapes everything she does today.

She understands that choosing a community is not just about care — it’s about dignity, connection, and feeling at home.

The Katie Cooney Method™

Katie guides families using a simple, thoughtful framework:

Care – ensuring your loved one receives the right level of support
Location – choosing a place that keeps families connected
Budget – finding options that are both supportive and sustainable

This balanced approach helps families move forward with confidence instead of uncertainty.
