Oasis Senior Advisors

We are a FREE service that helps seniors and their families find the best possible senior housing and services based on their specific needs. Each of our Certified Senior Advisors has extensive knowledge and a strong working relationship with the senior living communities in your area. We have a trusted and proven process for matching clients with “the right place” to fit their unique needs.

Oasis is here to help you when you or a loved one can no longer live at home. Whether you or a loved one need temporary care after a hospital stay or are looking for a long-term senior living solution, Oasis is here for you every step of the way. We help our clients live the life they want and work with caregivers, family and friends to make the transition seamless.

Certified Senior Advisors (CSAs) have successfully earned the leading national certification for professionals serving seniors. To earn the CSA designation, they must pass a comprehensive exam, demonstrate knowledge in aging, and show that they meet the highest ethical standards for safeguarding the health and welfare of our senior clients. At Oasis, we require all of our CSAs to participate in ongoing training programs to stay up to date and maintain their certification.

We never charge our seniors or their families for any of our services. Instead, we receive compensation from the local senior communities we work with.

We have a trusted and proven process that matches you or your loved one with a list of the local communities that will best meet your unique needs. We accompany you on tours of the communities until you’re confident you’ve found “the right place.”

The Oasis Senior Advisors come to you. We encourage you to bring a loved one or trusted friend, if you’d like.

No matter where you are or where you’re going, Oasis can help. Your advisor can assist with everything from retrofitting your home to transportation to and from appointments, and so much more! Oasis Senior Advisors provide a network of senior professionals to meet all of your needs.

Oasis Senior Advisors have franchises across the United States. Contact your local office and we will be happy to match you with an Advisor in any part of the country. No matter where you’re going, Oasis is there to help.

Amy Wilczek - Director of Placement. I know what it's like to transition (and move). My Husband, Matt, and I relocated with our 2 children, several times (six in total, but who's counting) as we moved cross-country and back. Each move brought us new friends and experiences, and we look back fondly at each of those opportunities. In 2016, we jumped at an opportunity to return to Michigan, settling in Okemos. We love living in Mid-Michigan and are inspired by the communities we live and work. We've been fortunate to have traveled the world, experiencing wonderful cultures in Europe, South Africa, and Asia. Before starting Oasis Senior Advisors Mid-Michigan, I accumulated more than 16 years of experience leading various charitable organizations and community groups like MOMs Club International, The Girl Scouts, and various local educational and youth sports organizations. I am a proud graduate of Leadership Lansing Class of 2021, a Certified Tourism Ambassador for Lansing, and a Member of the NACW (National Association of Career Women), The Lansing Women's Forum, the Greater Lansing Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Brighton Chamber of Commerce. I have served as Marketing Committee Chair for the Lansing Walk to End Alzheimer's, and I am a proud sponsor of Rockin' for ALZ since 2020. I have been a founding partner for Greater Lansing Care Foundation since 2023, served on the Board of directors since 2024, chaired the Community Programming Committee, where I have implemented a Grant Program to help dementia caregivers with respite care and a Memory Cafe, providing an inclusive space for dementia caregivers and those living with dementia in the Greater Lansing area. I am a Nationally Certified Senior Advisor and Certified Dementia Practitioner. I am driven by a calling to serve others and help those around me succeed. I believe in a strong servant leader mindset, and my goal is to help families in Mid-Michigan find the right transition path. Melissa Jacklett-Smith - Senior Living Advisor. After starting her career in the dining room of a local assisted living Melissa realized her passion for working with older adults and their families. Seeing their challenges and sharing in their victories, she quickly made up her mind that working with seniors was the only career path for her. Since then, she has spent the last 10 years of her career working with seniors in both marketing and operations roles in the Greater Lansing Area. She joined the Oasis team in 2023 as a Senior Advisor. Melissa has a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Davenport University.
