Candy Cohn is a Certified Senior Advisor® and owner of Oasis Senior Advisors South Florida. Originally from Philadelphia, Candy has lived in Florida since 1985. After living in Martin County for years, she moved to Delray Beach in 2008 and then to Boca Raton in 2017.
Her background in healthcare marketing includes community relations at Martin Memorial Hospital in Stuart, FL; writing for the “Psychotherapy Finances” newsletter; Marketing Director for Flexsite Diagnostics; and community relations at the Visiting Nurse Association of Florida. After helping her parents move to a senior living community in 2011, Candy realized the complexity and emotional challenges involved in this transition and has since dedicated herself to serving others who needed to make these life changes.
Candy is very active in the community, including being a member of Provisors, the Boca Raton Jewish Federation’s Business and Professionals Group, Palm Beach County Partnership for Aging (PFA), the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, participating regularly in the Chamber’s South County Healthcare Advocacy Network (SHAN) as well as the Palm Beach County Guardianship Association and Florida Assisted Living Association (FALA). Candy also serves as the past president of Broward County Elder Services Resource Network (ESRN) and served several years on the planning committee for the Boca Raton Walk to End Alzheimer’s and the Brain Bowl Charity Luncheon, which raises money for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s related non-profits. Candy is also passionate about supporting programming at the Ruth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Services Weisman Delray Community Center, including a Yiddish concert series that she started as a tribute to her mother Lillian Cohn, who loved Yiddish music, especially during the last few years of her life when she had dementia. May her memory be for a blessing.
