Start Where You Are
Every aging and care journey looks different.
You may have just received a diagnosis. You may be trying to help a parent from another state. You may be managing your own changing health needs. Or you may simply know that you need another experienced person in your corner.
A Ray of Care offers three core ways to help.
STEPPING INTO DEMENTIA
I’m Not Sure What Comes Next After a Dementia Diagnosis
A dementia diagnosis can bring more questions than answers.
Whether you have recently been diagnosed or someone you love has, Stepping Into Dementia provides a place to begin.
We help you better understand what the diagnosis may mean, what changes to watch for, what conversations may need to happen, and how to begin planning before everything feels urgent.
Stepping Into Dementia may be right for you if:
- You have recently received a dementia diagnosis
- Someone you love has recently been diagnosed
- You are noticing changes in memory or behavior
- You are unsure what to expect next
- You want to prepare before a crisis happens
- You need help understanding available care options
- You want to know what conversations should begin now
- You are unsure when additional support may be needed
COACHING THE CAREGIVER
You Spend So Much Time Caring for Someone Else. You Deserve Support, Too.
Caregiving can bring unfamiliar decisions, changing responsibilities, and emotions that are difficult to carry alone. Whether you live with your loved one or support them from miles away, we offer personalized guidance to help you feel more confident and supported.
Through scheduled phone or Zoom sessions, we help you understand care options, organize next steps, prepare for important conversations, and make room for your own well-being.
Coaching the Caregiver may be right for you if:
- You feel overwhelmed or unsure where to begin
- You need help understanding care options and planning ahead
- You are supporting a loved one from a distance
- You want to prepare for medical appointments or family conversations
- You are balancing caregiving with work, family, and your own needs
- You need support setting boundaries and asking for help
- You want a compassionate, experienced professional to listen and help you work through what comes next
Connect by phone or Zoom, wherever you are.
Peace of mind begins with a plan.
IN-PERSON AGING LIFE CARE SUPPORT
I Need Someone There With Us
Sometimes the situation calls for someone to be physically present.
Our Aging Life Care Professionals provide in-person advocacy, coordination, guidance, and support for individuals and the people who care about them.
We can attend appointments, communicate with providers, help organize care, support transitions, and provide continuity when needs become more complex.
In-person support may be right for you if:
- You want someone to attend appointments with you
- You need help communicating with providers
- You are helping someone you love but cannot always be there
- Care needs are becoming more complicated
- You are navigating a hospital or rehabilitation transition
- You are considering a change in living arrangements
- Multiple providers are involved
- You want ongoing local guidance and support
Support That Meets You Where You Are
Across all three services, A Ray of Care helps individuals and families navigate the many decisions that can come with aging, illness, changing care needs, and major life transitions.
Patient Advocacy
Healthcare conversations can be difficult to navigate, especially when there is a lot of information coming at once.
We help you prepare for appointments, organize questions and concerns, understand recommendations, and make sure your voice or your loved one’s voice remains part of the conversation.
End-of-Life Planning
Planning ahead can make difficult moments a little less uncertain.
We help individuals and families begin important conversations, understand available options, communicate wishes, and prepare for future decisions before they become urgent.
Care Coordination
When several providers, family members, facilities, and services are involved, it can become difficult to keep everyone on the same page.
We help organize communication, appointments, services, and next steps so care feels more connected and less overwhelming.
Care Guidance
Sometimes the hardest part is simply knowing what to do next.
We help you understand your options, think through decisions, identify priorities, and move forward with a clearer plan.

Holly Reigh is a Licensed Practical Nurse, Aging Life Care Professional, Certified Dementia Practitioner, End-of-Life Doula, and Certified Health and Wellness Coach with more than a decade of experience supporting older adults and their families.
A Ray of Care works for you and the people you love, not for a hospital, senior living community, insurer, hospice organization, or home-care agency. Our recommendations are guided by your goals and needs, not by an outside organization’s services.
Based in Centre County, our team knows the local healthcare and aging-services landscape across Centre, Huntingdon, Blair, Clinton, and Clearfield counties and surrounding Central Pennsylvania communities.
What Families Tell Us
“Having you come allows her daughter to just be her daughter. Now, when she has dinner, there is less tension and less dependency on her daughter.”
A Ray of Care client
“We are so fortunate to have found Holly Reigh and her team. They initially conducted a needs assessment and created a personalized care plan for our sister, including recommendations for safety changes in the house. Holly adjusts the care plan as our sister’s needs change and gives us regular updates. Our sister is happy with the care and companionship, and we are comforted knowing all is well since we do not live locally.”

You Don’t Have to Know Exactly What You Need
Many people reach out because they know something needs to change but are not sure which service is right for them.
That is okay.
You do not need to understand every care option or have everything figured out before contacting us.
Tell us what is happening, what concerns you have, and what you are trying to accomplish. We can help you determine the best place to start.
