Mary M. Austin – Principal Consultant
For over 30 years, I’ve forged a career in senior services as a Registered Nurse, executive, educator, and consultant. I’m dedicated to making a difference for PACE programs and operators as well as for seniors and their families. I am passionate about serving the under-served as well as supporting those who serve them.
Throughout my career, I have cultivated and maintained a collaborative, people-driven approach to the often difficult and heart-wrenching decisions faced by the elderly, their caregivers, and their families.
I approach my operations work with the same mentality, helping to found new programs as well as lead program turnarounds, advance interdisciplinary team development, and foster other operational successes.
I focus unwaveringly on the triple goals of satisfied participants, quality outcomes, and cost-effectiveness. Whatever the challenge, I meet it creatively, efficiently, and compassionately. I want to be your trusted advisor, someone who knows you and works with you to provide exactly what you need. As a professional partner, I also collaborate with consulting agencies that will benefit from my operations expertise. Want to talk to someone who really understands? Let’s connect.
The Senior Pathways Team
Put our ‘boots on the ground’ experience and leadership acumen to work to support your mission – and your success. We help programs implement and fine-tune systems and processes, as well as hire and develop the right interdisciplinary team (IDT).

PACE and the IDT
Struggling financially? Not making budget? Facing utilization issues or a need for IDT training and support? Let us help.
In the PACE model, cost and quality outcomes are linked through the decisions of the program’s interdisciplinary team (IDT). The IDT provides and coordinates care in collaboration with the senior and his or her family. A PACE program cannot be successful unless the IDT is successful. The Senior Pathways team has many years of experience in PACE and is committed to promoting quality, satisfaction and cost effectiveness by supporting PACE IDTs as they carry out their important work.
