Meet Beth
Beth Pfeiffer Nixon is a native San Antonian with more than 25 years in the San Antonio senior living industry. Before founding Graceful Guidance in 2022, she served as Director of Sales and Marketing at Franklin Park Senior Living and as a Senior Placement Specialist at Bee At Home Senior Care. She holds a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Baker University and is a Certified Assisted Living Manager (CALM) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP).
Beth started Graceful Guidance because, in her words, "a lot of people need help on this journey." She is passionate about helping families find care options for older adults, and she provides her services at no cost to families.
Beth is also deeply involved in San Antonio's care community. She is President of the Alamo Chapter of the Case Management Society of America and of the National Placement & Referral Alliance, serves on the boards of the Bexar Senior Advisory Council and the San Antonio chapter of the Texas Organization of Residential Care Homes, and has volunteered with the Alzheimer's Association for more than 20 years. She has been honored as a Texas Assisted Living Association (TALA) Hero.
Is it really complimentary?
Yes. Families pay nothing for Beth's placement services.
Paying for care
Most families use some mix of private funds, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid & Attendance benefits. Beth can talk through what fits your situation.
