Oasis Senior Advisors operates 120 franchise locations nationwide, enabling seamless senior relocation across state lines. While John Killeen primarily serves Pinellas County in Florida, the franchise network connects families to communities anywhere in the country—if a client needs to move a loved one to New York or any other state, Oasis can facilitate that transition.
The nationwide franchise model transforms what might otherwise be a local service into a continent-spanning support system for families managing senior relocations. This structure is particularly valuable for families navigating multi-state moves or searching for care communities outside their home region, as explained in the episode with John Killeen.
While Killeen's individual practice is geographically limited to Pinellas County, his franchise affiliation opens doors across the entire United States. This dual-scale model—hyperlocal expertise combined with national network access—allows a single owner to serve families with national or international needs without expanding their own office footprint.
The franchise structure means that each of the 120 owners operates independently within their service area while maintaining connection to a larger ecosystem. A family in Florida working with Killeen can leverage that same Oasis network if circumstances change and relocation becomes necessary, ensuring continuity of care strategy and institutional knowledge throughout the transition process. This coordination across state lines, as discussed in this podcast episode, removes a significant logistical barrier for seniors and their families.
"If you were here in Pinellas and you needed to move your family to New York, we definitely can connect you and get the family moved to New York."
John Killeen — Owner, Oasis Senior Advisors. With over 30 years of experience working with the senior population, Killeen transitioned into franchise ownership after serving as Regional Director of Operations for a contract food service company, where he managed 15 accounts across the Southeast and gained deep familiarity with assisted living and memory care communities.
The ability to facilitate out-of-state moves addresses one of the real anxieties families face when a loved one's care needs change unexpectedly. Rather than starting from scratch in an unfamiliar state, families can tap into Oasis's established relationships and expertise, a practical advantage worth exploring further in the full conversation.
Oasis Senior Advisors is a free service that helps seniors transition from home to assisted living, memory care, or independent living. They reduce family stress by handling community selection based on health care needs, location, and budget, then scheduling and attending tours until families choose the right community.
