Kate’s Story: Why I Do This Work
“When my own family struggled with the emotional and logistical whirlwind of downsizing—paralyzed by uncertainty and endless ‘what ifs’—I saw firsthand how these transitions can feel like navigating a maze blindfolded. That’s why I founded Clear Path Moves: to give seniors and their families the structured support, expert navigation, and compassionate advocacy so they can transition on their terms, with clarity and dignity.”
With 40 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, public policy, and strategic planning across healthcare, education, and the arts, Kate specializes in guiding seniors through complex housing and life transitions. She’s always seen herself as a bridge builder—connecting individuals with the resources and solutions they need while taking an empathetic, calm, and client-centered approach.
She handles every situation with empathy, listening to her clients’ needs, and giving them the space to find their own solutions.
She works with a network of experts to help create comprehensive life plans, whether it’s related to housing, finances, or overall well-being. She’s here to advocate for her clients, ensuring they are fully supported, engaged, and have access to the resources that will allow them to thrive.
If you’re overwhelmed by life’s challenges, she’ll help you find the path forward.

Testimonials from Past Clients
“I have told family and friends that Kate was my guardian angel during this entire moving process. She helped me in every way she could so that I wouldn’t be stressed or overly concerned about anything. Her knowledge of the selling process and simple ways to make it less stressful and more profitable were truly a blessing for me, and I will be forever grateful.”
“Kate Gervais assisted my brother and sister-in-law transition from their home to assisted living. I had to be engaged in the process, but I live 500 miles away. We had to work through some extraordinary challenges, and communication was critical. Kate excelled! We were definitely a team! She went well beyond the requirements of the contract in leading and/or supporting every step of the process and addressing some unanticipated “bumps” along the way. She had one priority — doing whatever was necessary to meet the needs of her clients. Kate was skilled, honest, patient, persistent, kind, and sensitive. She clearly has a heart for assisting seniors. I had ultimate trust in Kate’s ability and commitment. I whole-heartedly recommend her!! I just hope I can find a “Kate” if/when the time comes that I face similar needs and decisions that my brother and SIL did.”
“Kate was a real asset to me in selling my home. From getting my home ready to all that is needed for posting the sale to closing, she was there to guide me. What a great experience.”
