Eric Klein is a trusted guide for families navigating the overwhelming world of senior care. As owner of CarePatrol Chicagoland North, Eric leverages his expertise as a Certified Senior Advisor® (CSA), Certified Placement and Referral Specialist (CPRS), Board Certified Patient Advocate (BCPA), and Dementia Connection Specialist (DCS)to connect older adults and their loved ones with the right senior living options - whether that’s assisted living, memory care, independent living, or in-home care. Before becoming a leader in senior advocacy, Eric spent more than 25 years as owner of a Chicago-based production company specializing in healthcare, pharmaceutical, and senior living advertising. But it wasn’t until his own parents faced serious health challenges that he realized how complex and confusing the long-term care system truly was - even for someone with decades of experience in healthcare communications. That personal journey inspired a professional transformation. Today, Eric is a transitional care manager and a compassionate resource to families facing tough decisions about aging, care, and quality of life. He brings the heart of a son, the mind of an advocate, and the experience of a healthcare professional to every conversation.
