We Are The Leading Advisory Center For You
PATHS is a group of dedicated & compassionate professionals committed to providing Seniors of Bucks County and their families with information, resources, and services they need to help them address & resolve issues that arise during the aging process.
In 1998, my wife and family made the decision to move my aging parents into our home.
We had found a house large enough to house my family of 5, as well as developing an in-law suite to care for my parents who were in their early 70's. At that time, my father was still driving and mom was still shopping, cooking, and handling the household chores.
Little did my wife and I know the twists and turns the next 17 years would throw at us! Part way through, we would also add her father to our home. All this while caring for our own children including our special needs daughter. Over this span, we would be forced to navigate health, financial, insurance, and legal issues, among other planning and day to day transitions that arose.
Thankfully, we found trusted people and organizations that were able to provide guidance and services that we needed every step of the way. I often thought: "wouldn't it be great to have all these resources in one place?" That vision began to take form in 2008. This Team officially became PATHS - The Professional Alliance To Help Seniors. Our goal was to work together to provide Solutions For Seniors in one trusted place.
For the last 15 years, this compassionate group of professionals
has been providing products and services that seniors and their caregivers need.

Funeral Planning
Scott Mitchell
Life Celebration by Givnish
Over the past 18 years, Scott has been the Staff Minister & Planning Counselor for Life Celebration by Givnish - a network of 14 funeral homes focused on helping families celebrate the life of their loved ones. As a non-denominational pastor, he leads funeral services, also called “Life Celebrations”, for many families in their time of loss.
As a Planning Consultant, Scott helps families prepare for the future through funeral preplanning. This allows seniors to not leave this burden to family members during a difficult time. By setting up a Trust or Insurance product, Scott also helps families save money through discounts and locking in today’s prices, eliminating inflation.
These trusts can also be made “irrevocable” which makes them protected from future nursing home costs and are Medicaid Compliant.

Total Benefit Solutions
Want an insurance broker who knows what it's like being on the other side? Make a mistake with choosing a medicare plan and you can be locked into a bad plan for a year or longer! I learned the health insurance business when my daughter needed a liver transplant and my insurance company declined to cover it. I know how to act as an advocate and an advisor for my clients. As an independent insurance broker I have over 20 years of representing my client's bests interests and the experience dealing with medicare, health insurance and other benefits. With so many changes in the health insurance business, I studied and achieved a special certification for consumer driven health plans, CBC or Chartered Benefit Consultant. This has helped our clients achieve better results when considering insurance plans. Let me show you the way, whether you are considering a change in your current plan, a new plan or a new broker.
