About The Senior List

Amie Clark | Co-Founder & Senior Editor

Amie’s first “real” job working in long term care was what sparked her drive to continue advocacy work for seniors in other settings. Since then, she has worked in skilled nursing facilities for several years before starting her own company specializing in geriatric care management and senior housing advisory.

It was during this time that Amie and her husband started The Senior List to provide seniors and their families with thoughtful, transparent information about products and services for older adults. And the rest is history. Today, when she’s not corralling teenagers, Amie enjoys live music, traveling, and getting outdoors in the Pacific Northwest. Her current bucket list item is hiking the PCT, one section at a time.
