About us
A light on the porch for families finding their way
We started Porchlight because finding senior living should feel less like a maze and more like coming home.
Why “Porchlight”?
A porch light is a small, familiar signal: someone is expecting you, and you are welcome here. That is the feeling we want families to have when they work with us.
Porchlight Senior Services is an independent senior living advisory and placement consultancy. We help families across Richmond and Central Virginia understand their options, find communities that truly fit, and navigate the transition with less stress and more confidence.
Whether you are planning ahead or facing an urgent decision, we bring patience, local knowledge, and a genuine commitment to your loved one's well-being.
What we believe
Families first
Our recommendations are shaped by your loved one’s needs, preferences, and budget, not by any community’s sales goals.
Honest, plain-language guidance
Senior living has its own jargon. We explain options clearly so you can make decisions with confidence.
Local knowledge
We focus on Richmond and Central Virginia, so our advice reflects the communities and resources near you.
With you the whole way
From the first call through move-in and beyond, you have one steady point of contact.
Where we work
We serve families throughout Richmond and Central Virginia, and we regularly help out-of-town families relocate a parent closer to them. See how our process works or browse our services.
