our story

In 2007, Cate King was working as a Registered Nurse in a hospital avoidance program, liaising with emergency departments, GPs and aged care facilities to keep older people out of hospital whilst ensuring the patients received the care they needed at home or in residential care.

She saw the stress faced by the patients’ families, who were usually overwhelmed by the process involved and desperate to find their loved one the help they needed in a short window of time.

Cate realised she could use her expertise to partner with families through the aged care journey and give them an entirely different experience; one where:

  • clients received the right information, tailored to their needs and situation
  • the paperwork was handled on the client’s behalf
  • the client’s needs were understood and a solution was found
  • hard-to-find beds could be secured
  • clients could be supported through an often emotional journey

Cate’s desire to start her own business while raising two young children quickly paid off. Since the founding of Seniors Pathway, we have helped over 7000 older people and their families navigate their next stage of life whilst growing to a team of five.

Let us help you navigate the aged care system and get the best possible outcome for your loved one.
