The Maxwell’s Senior Care Services, LLC Team

Patricia Player Maxwell, Founder and Owner

Patricia Maxwell brings together extensive medical experience, geriatric knowledge, and a deep personal understanding of the challenges families face when caring for an aging loved one.

Patricia began her nursing career in England, obtaining her nursing certificate at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, a Cambridge University-affiliated teaching and research institution. She subsequently completed advanced independent practitioner training as a Certified Midwife at Peterborough Hospital in Cambridgeshire.

Since moving to the United States, Patricia has developed extensive experience in healthcare business development, public relations, homecare, and geriatric care. Her work with a large medical clinic provided valuable knowledge of medical insurance and healthcare facilities throughout the Bay Area. Later, working with a private-duty homecare agency, she gained experience assessing clients’ needs, developing plans of care, coordinating caregivers, and identifying resources to support older adults.

These experiences inspired Patricia to focus on geriatric care management. She recognized the growing need for knowledgeable professionals who could help families navigate an increasingly complex healthcare system, coordinate services, and ensure that older adults receive the support they need.

Her perspective is also deeply personal. Patricia cared for her own father, welcoming him into her home to live with her and her daughter. This experience gave her firsthand insight into the emotional, practical, and often overwhelming responsibilities families face when caring for an aging parent.

While developing her practice, Patricia also worked part-time as an office manager for a geriatrician. This experience further strengthened her understanding of aging, dementia, medication-related concerns, and the challenges families encounter as their loved ones’ needs change.

Helping Older Adults Live Life to the Fullest

Patricia believes that growing older should never mean giving up the activities and experiences that make life meaningful. She encourages her clients to remain engaged in the world around them, whether that means visiting friends, dining out, playing Bridge, attending the ballet, or simply enjoying the activities they love.


Kristina Williams
Geriatric Care Manager

Kristina is a 2015 graduate from the Menlo Park, Job Train Medical Assisting program. She started as a caregiver and remains a registered Home Care Aide through the State of California. Ms. Williams has been in the home care industry and worked with the older population for over ten years. She started at a home care agency as a Receptionist, and in a few years worked her way up to be the Director of Operations. Kristina decided to change course in 2022, and became a Geriatric Care Manager with MSCS so she could work more closely with the elderly on a 1-on-1 basis.

Our Team

Her approach combines practical care coordination with a strong commitment to independence, dignity, personal choice, and quality of life.

Through consultations, advocacy, and ongoing care management, Patricia helps individuals and families make informed decisions about care. She can serve as an advocate in clinical and hospital settings, help families understand their options, and coordinate the professionals and services needed to support an older adult.

Patricia is also a sought-after speaker on topics including hiring caregivers, recognizing elder abuse, and navigating the challenges of aging. Her international healthcare experience, including work in Saudi Arabia and Iran, has given her valuable insight into working with families from diverse cultural backgrounds.

A Network of Care, Built Around Each Client

Patricia works with carefully selected professionals and independent contractors to provide services tailored to each client’s needs. Her goal is to help families navigate the complexities of aging while ensuring that decisions and services remain focused on the well-being of the individual.

She is active in Rotary International and the Senior Round Table of San Mateo County, is a past Board Member of the Foster City Chamber of Commerce, and is a long-standing member of the Aging Life Care Association.

Patricia practices in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties and is the founder and driving force behind Foster City Village, a community initiative designed to help older adults remain in their homes while maintaining connection, independence, and access to support.

Patricia’s philosophy is simple: Families should not have to navigate the challenges of aging alone.

Through Maxwell’s Senior Care Services, she helps bring together the knowledge, resources, coordination, and personal attention families need to care for the people they love.

Being a senior does not mean time to sit and vegetate. Seniors need to get out and about as much as they wish and are capable of, whether to visit friends, play Bridge, go to the ballet or enjoy other activities.
