A Boutique Search Firm for Senior Living Leadership

At PacificCare Consultants, we help senior living communities hire the right leaders—people who elevate resident care, team morale, and operational performance.

Founded by Matt Gorgolinski and Cody Brown, PacificCare is a boutique executive search firm that prioritizes quality over quantity—of clients, of candidates, and of the experience we deliver. We intentionally work with a select number of partners at a time so we can give each search the focus, precision, and care it deserves.

Matt Gorgolinski

Matt brings over half a decade of retained and executive search experience with a strong focus on senior living leadership roles. His strength lies in deeply understanding what makes a community thrive—and then building leadership teams that match that vision. Whether it’s hiring an Executive Director, Sales Leader, or Clinical Manager, Matt’s process is thorough, thoughtful, and proven.

Cody Brown

Before co-founding PacificCare, Cody spent five years managing the complex care and recovery of a high-profile individual who suffered a traumatic brain injury. He built and led a care team that included:


• Specialty nurses
• CNA caregivers
• Neuro-rehab specialists (PTs, OTs, SLPs)
• And coordinated care with top Bay Area neurosurgeons

That experience taught him what great leadership in care settings looks like—and how to spot it in others. Cody’s work was hands-on, high-pressure, and deeply human—an experience that now fuels how we recruit leaders for senior living.
