Neal Bowes, a Certified Senior Advisor®, is the manager of Oasis Senior Advisors Greenville. Originally from rural Pennsylvania, Neal and his wife moved to Connecticut, soon after they married, where they started their family and he worked for sixteen years as a youth minister with the local Methodist church. The experience of working with families of teenagers through often-stressful situations has helped prepare Neal to nurture and guide families who are considering their options for senior living-a challenging process that can be confusing and emotionally-charged.
Neal is excited to be serving seniors in the greater Greenville area. This region is home to many excellent senior living communities, each one with its own philosophy, level of care, activities schedule, and overall “feel”. One size does not fit all, however, and while it’s good to have a choice, how do you make that choice? How do you make the right choice? That’s why your local senior living advisor is here to help. Neal visits all the area’s senior living communities and their admissions personnel on a regular basis. He knows them, and once he gets to know you-the things you want, the things you need, and the things that concern you, he’ll be able to help alleviate any anxiety by narrowing the search to only the best matches for you. He’ll even schedule your tours, introduce you to everybody, and continue assisting until you’re ready to move in.
As a member of the Society of Certified Senior Advisors, Neal has completed course work on the process of aging and ethics in working with seniors, and he maintains his membership through the completion of continuing education credit units. He is also always expanding his network of senior living professionals so he may refer with confidence when something falls beyond his area of expertise. Neal is well-informed and well-connected and serves seniors with a minister’s disposition and a heart for people.
