Jonathan Karp

Founder

​​

I am a senior advocate with more than three decades of leadership experience spanning multi-site senior living operations and luxury hospitality.

​

Originally from Connecticut, I have proudly called the Coachella Valley and Joshua Tree region home for over 14 years. I transitioned into senior living, serving as an Executive Director at two Senior Living Communities before advancing to Regional Vice President, where I oversaw multiple communities across California and Arizona. In these roles, I led multi-community operations building high-performing teams focused on delivering quality care and service.

​

Previously, my career began in luxury hotels, where I held leadership roles across the United States, developing a reputation for operational excellence, team leadership, and delivering exceptional guest experiences.

​

My professional path has been deeply shaped by personal experience. While supporting my aging mother through significant health challenges, I navigated the complexities of senior care firsthand. This experience gave me a profound understanding of the emotional and logistical challenges families face and strengthened my commitment to providing clear, informed guidance.

​

As Founder of NewLeaf Senior Living Solutions, I combine operational expertise with a service-driven approach to support seniors and their families. My work is centered on delivering trusted guidance, simplifying complex decisions, and helping families identify the right care solutions with confidence.

​

I am a certified RCFE Administrator (Retirement Care Facility for the Elderly) and proudly serve as a Committee Member of the High Desert Memory Recreation Center currently under development in the Morongo Basin.
