Guidance from someone who's studied how the system works
A note from Puru
I'm Puru Gaur. I founded Legacy Lane Senior Navigation in 2026 because eldercare decisions are some of the hardest a family will ever make — and most families have to make them with almost no map.
By training, I hold an MPH and work in health policy and healthcare strategy at the director level. I spend my days thinking about how care systems, benefits, and costs actually work. That doesn't make me a doctor or a care provider — it makes me someone who can read the fine print with you and translate it into plain English.
My lane is simple: I sit on your side of the table. I help you compare home care, assisted living, and memory care honestly; I walk you through what Medicare and the VA cover and what they don't; and I give you the questions to ask providers before anyone signs anything.
What I'm not
I'll say it plainly, because it matters: I'm not a licensed clinician, not a medical provider, and this isn't medical advice. Legacy Lane provides educational consultation — guidance, checklists, and thinking-it-through-together. Decisions about a loved one's medical care belong with their physician, and legal or financial questions belong with qualified attorneys and advisors.
I also take no referral fees or commissions from facilities. Some "free" placement services earn thousands of dollars per placement from the communities they recommend. I don't play that game — you're my only client.
If free help is what you need, I'll tell you: SHIP counselors offer free Medicare counseling (1-877-839-2675), and VA-accredited representatives help veterans and families with benefits at no charge. Pointing you there costs me a sale and earns your trust. That's the trade I'll take every time.
How we work
Three things you can count on
Plain English, always
Benefits language, care contracts, fee schedules — translated into words a tired family member can understand at 9 PM. If it doesn't make sense, we say so.
Your side of the table
Paid by the family, accountable to the family. No facility commissions, no upsells, no steering — just the option that fits your situation.
Honest about limits
A new business, founded 2026 — and we'll never pretend otherwise. If your question is outside our scope, we'll point you to someone qualified, for free.
