Our Team

Leadership, structure, and professionals dedicated to delivering integrated aging care.

At Coastal Care Partners, care does not happen by accident. It is led, coordinated, and supported by an experienced team of professionals who understand both the clinical and operational realities of aging care.

Founders

Amy and Scott Pierce, Co-Founders

Amy Pierce, RN

Co-Founder

Amy Pierce is a registered nurse and the clinical visionary behind Coastal Care Partners. With experience across emergency care, private practice, and hospice, she has seen firsthand how fragmented systems leave families overwhelmed.

Her leadership shaped the Aging Care Blueprint — an integrated, nurse-led model designed to connect daily care, clinical oversight, and medical access into one coordinated system. Amy's approach emphasizes clarity, prevention, and thoughtful leadership in moments that would otherwise feel chaotic.

Scott Pierce

Co-Founder

Scott Pierce oversees operations and infrastructure for Coastal Care Partners. With extensive experience in healthcare operations and systems development, he ensures that the organization's administrative and scheduling structure is as strong as its clinical leadership.

Scott's focus is stability — building the operational depth required to manage scheduling complexity, caregiver support, and rapid response when circumstances change. His leadership ensures families are supported not just clinically, but structurally.
