In 1962 Hans Bretschneider opened the first “purpose built” senior living facility in Mill Valley, California. Rooted in the revolutionary belief that the right environment could extend years of productivity, engagement and happiness for older adults, Hans and his son John went on to open several senior living communities in Northern California.

Almost fifty years later, his grandson Arthur would carry on in the family tradition; from dishwasher to care aide to marketing specialist, Arthur would wear many hats in the family business. From this vantage point, he developed a deep empathy for families in the search for quality assisted living, and also saw an outdated model for finding the “right” community.

In 2014, Arthur founded Seniorly, a venture-backed online marketplace connecting families looking for senior living communities to local senior living advisors and communities. Today, millions of families visit Seniorly each year to find the right senior living solution.
