What Inspired the Founding of LM Hurley & Associates Executive Search Firm?

I wanted to share the inspiring story behind LM Hurley & Associates, a journey rooted in love, empathy, and a deep commitment to senior care.

Founded in 1999 by Lauren Hurley, our firm’s origins are deeply personal. Her experience caring for her mother during her battle with Alzheimer’s disease and supporting her father’s need for assisted living ignited a passion for the well-being of all seniors. This journey revealed a critical gap within the senior living industry: the need for exceptional, compassionate professionals dedicated to providing meaningful care.
Recognizing this challenge, Lauren envisioned and created LM Hurley & Associates as a specialized executive search firm dedicated solely to connecting senior living organizations with outstanding talent. Our mission is simple yet profound — to identify and attract management professionals who are not only highly skilled but also genuinely passionate about making a difference in seniors’ lives.

Our focus on the senior living sector, coupled with our commitment to personalized, specialized service and RCFE (Residential Care Facility for the Elderly) certification among our recruiters, stems from Lauren’s heartfelt conviction: that behind every great community are caring, dedicated individuals who create warm, nurturing environments.

At LM Hurley & Associates, we believe that excellent care begins with great people. We approach each search with empathy and understanding, listening carefully to our clients’ needs and the aspirations of our candidates. Our goal is to build teams that uplift, support, and foster a true sense of family within senior communities.

Empowering Communities, One Leader at a Time
The core inspiration behind LM Hurley & Associates is the belief that outstanding leadership transforms senior living communities into places of genuine care and excellence. By connecting organizations with passionate, qualified professionals, the firm aims to elevate standards of care and create lasting positive change.

A Legacy of Trust and Excellence
Today, LM Hurley & Associates continues to be driven by the same commitment to integrity, industry knowledge, and personalized service that inspired its founding. The firm’s mission remains focused on empowering senior living communities with leaders who are dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors.

Conclusion
The creation of LM Hurley & Associates was fueled by a deep understanding of the senior living industry’s unique needs and a heartfelt desire to contribute to its growth and excellence. It’s more than just a recruitment firm—it’s a partner in shaping the future of senior care through exceptional leadership.
