Senior Care Authority of CA Central Coast

Terri Frantz is Co-Owner of Senior Care Authority – California Central Coast, along with her husband, Michael, and a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA), providing professional eldercare consulting, senior advocacy, and education to families throughout the Central Coast. She holds a BA in English/Communications Arts from Bethany University and brings decades of experience in communication, education, and relationship-building to her work. Terri has spent much of her life serving others through education, ministry, and leadership roles, including more than 40 years as a pastor’s wife. These experiences have shaped her compassionate approach and deep understanding of the emotional and practical challenges families face when navigating aging and care decisions. Through Senior Care Authority, Terri guides families through the often complex process of identifying appropriate senior living and care solutions. She regularly tours and evaluates local senior communities—including independent living, assisted living, memory care, residential care homes, and skilled nursing facilities—to ensure families receive knowledgeable, unbiased recommendations. Terri meets personally with families to assess needs, accompanies them on tours of vetted communities, assists with coordination and paperwork, and provides follow-up support after a transition is made. When placement is not the immediate goal, she helps families access trusted community resources and services to support aging with dignity. As a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) and Beyond Driving With Dignity (BDD) professional, Terri is committed to empowering families through education, advocacy, and informed guidance. Her goal is to help seniors remain safe, respected, and well cared for—while giving families clarity and peace of mind. Terri is a wife, the mother of seven, and grandmother of nine. Outside of her professional work, she enjoys spending time with her family, community involvement, reading, and singing.
