For Brian Levy, the path to elder care wasn’t linear. With a degree in psychology and a career that began in advertising, he eventually found his calling in a space that touches every family at some point: caring for seniors with dignity, trust, and compassion.

In this episode of Decision Points, Brian shares how Cambridge Caregivers and Manchester Care Homes are rethinking senior care through a concierge-level, residential model that stands in stark contrast to traditional large-scale facilities. Instead of sterile, institutional environments, their homes are designed to feel personal, comfortable, and truly like “home.”

Brian opens up about the decision points that shaped their approach, from the importance of caregiver retention and training to the expansion of in-home services for those who prefer to age in place. He details how Cambridge invests in its team—paying above industry averages, offering benefits like 401k matching and stipends, and providing 42 paid training sessions a year—because great care begins with caregivers who feel supported.

Looking ahead, Cambridge and Manchester are expanding into new markets beyond DFW, with ambitions for Houston, Denver, Atlanta, Tampa, and Miami. Yet the foundation remains the same: a family-owned, relationship-driven model built on trust, security, and individualized care. For families navigating one of life’s toughest choices, Brian offers a roadmap for what elder care can—and should—look like.
