About Catalyst

We're the people who answer when a family finally makes the call.

Catalyst is the largest human-led inquiry conversion partner in senior living. Our roots go back to SeniorVu in 2015. Today our Advocates are often the first human voice a family hears at the start of one of the hardest decisions they will make.

The Catalyst Story

On August 1, 2021, SeniorVu merged with Serviam Care Network, which Tim Donnelly helped form and lead. Catalyst later emerged from that evolution in January 2025 with a focused purpose: to serve as an extension of the senior living sales team and help clients create better experiences and better outcomes for the families they serve.

Our name reflects the role we want to play. A “catalyst” helps create and accelerate meaningful change. And the word Advocate is equally important to who we are. For us, advocacy means standing beside people, listening closely, helping guide them, and serving their best interests. It also carries a deeper meaning: a spirited helper, counselor, and guide. That spirit of service is reflected in how we want every Catalyst Advocate to show up for families and clients.

Our purpose is to improve the senior living journey through meaningful human connections. Our mission is to combine human connection and Conversation Intelligence to create better outcomes for families and senior living operators. And our core values – Advocate’s Heart, Curious Learners, Anticipate Needs, Moment Makers, and Courageous Mindset – guide how we serve, how we learn, and how we help our clients engage more families, empower their sales teams, and drive sustained occupancy.

Tim Donnelly

As CEO of Catalyst, Tim is focused on improving the senior living journey through meaningful human connections. He believes the best use of technology is to strengthen—not replace—the relationships at the heart of senior living. His leadership reflects Catalyst’s Courageous Mindset and Advocate’s Heart: continually challenging the status quo while keeping seniors, families, and clients at the center of the mission.
