Jonathan Karp
Founder
I am a senior advocate with more than three decades of leadership experience spanning multi-site senior living operations and luxury hospitality.
Originally from Connecticut, I have proudly called the Coachella Valley and Joshua Tree region home for over 14 years. I transitioned into senior living, serving as an Executive Director at two Senior Living Communities before advancing to Regional Vice President, where I oversaw multiple communities across California and Arizona. In these roles, I led multi-community operations building high-performing teams focused on delivering quality care and service.
My career began in luxury hotels, where I held leadership roles across the United States, developing a reputation for operational excellence, team leadership, and delivering exceptional guest experiences.
Previously, my professional path has been deeply shaped by personal experience. While supporting my aging mother through significant health challenges, I navigated the complexities of senior care firsthand. This experience gave me a profound understanding of the emotional and logistical challenges families face and strengthened my commitment to providing clear, informed guidance.
As Founder of NewLeaf Senior Living Solutions, I combine operational expertise with a service-driven approach to support seniors and their families. My work is centered on delivering trusted guidance, simplifying complex decisions, and helping families identify the right care solutions with confidence.
I am a certified RCFE Administrator (Retirement Care Facility for the Elderly) and proudly serve as a Committee Member of the High Desert Memory Recreation Center currently under development in the Morongo Basin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right senior living community can feel overwhelming, and it's natural to have questions. We've answered some of the most common ones below to help you better understand the process and how NewLeaf Senior Living Solutions can support you. If you don't find the answer you're looking for, we're just a phone call or email away.
What does NewLeaf Senior Living Solutions do?
We help families find the right assisted living and memory care community based on their loved one's needs, preferences, desired location, and budget.
How much does your service cost?
Our guidance and placement services are provided at no cost to families.
Why is your service free?
Partner communities compensate us when a family chooses a community through our referral, much like a real estate agent helping a homebuyer. Our recommendations are always based on what's best for your loved one.
How do you determine the best community?
We assess care needs, lifestyle preferences, location, budget, and other important factors before making personalized recommendations.
Can you help with memory care?
Yes. We specialize in helping families find quality memory care for loved ones living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia.
Can you help if my loved one needs care immediately?
Yes. We can often help families find appropriate options quickly, even during urgent situations.
Will you tour communities with us?
Yes. We're happy to accompany families on tours and provide objective guidance throughout the process.
How much does assisted living cost?
Costs vary depending on location, apartment size, amenities, and care needs. We'll help you find options that fit your budget.
Does Medicare pay for assisted living?
Generally, no. Medicare does not cover room and board in assisted living, though it may cover certain medical services.
Why work with NewLeaf instead of searching on my own?
We save you time, research, schedule tours, reduce stress, local knowledge, and provide experienced guidance so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Are your recommendations unbiased?
Yes. We advocate for your family's best interests and recommend communities that genuinely fit your loved one's needs.
Do you only help seniors in the Coachella Valley?
Our primary focus is the Coachella Valley and surrounding communities, but we often assist with other Southern California locations.
How long does the process take?
Some families find the right community in a few days, while others take several weeks. We work at your pace.
Will you continue to support us after the move?
Yes. We stay available to answer questions and provide support even after your loved one has moved into their new home.
What makes NewLeaf Senior Living Solutions different?
We provide personalized, hands-on support, advocate for your family's needs, and stay with you through every step of the decision-making process.
Can you help long-distance families?
Absolutely. We work with many adult children who live out of the area and need a trusted local advocate.
Is my consultation confidential?
Yes. Every conversation is private, and your family's information is treated with the utmost confidentiality.
Caregiver Support Groups
Because Caregivers Need Care, Too
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia can be one of life's most challenging journeys. While NewLeaf Senior Living Solutions is here to help families navigate the process of finding the right assisted living or memory care community when the time is right, we also understand that many families are caring for a loved one at home for months or years before making that transition.
We understand that finding the right support group is not always easy, so below is a comprehensive list of local memory care caregiver support groups serving the Coachella Valley and Hi-Desert. We encourage you to connect with the one that best fits your needs—because caring for yourself is just as important as caring for your loved one.
The best care for your loved one begins with caring for yourself. Find encouragement, resources, and understanding from those who truly know the journey.
You don't have to navigate this journey alone. Throughout our local community, there are exceptional caregiver support groups that provide practical education, emotional encouragement, therapeutic guidance, and spiritual support. Whether you're looking for advice from others who understand your experience, professional resources to help you provide better care, or simply a place to share your challenges, these groups offer valuable support every step of the way.
