About Us
We’re on a mission to make dementia care easier, more human, and truly supportive for families, caregivers, and the people they love.
Get Started
Lizzy Care was named after renowned practitioner Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell. Blackwell is said to have begun practicing medicine in 1849 because she saw a need for compassionate care. She was the first woman to earn an M.D. from an American medical school and went on to co-found the New York Infirmary for Women and Children.
With Lizzy Care, we make sure that every family receives a personalized care plan and coordination of the many specialized services that are needed to provide remarkable care: from home health aides to hairdressers.
If any of these sound familiar, please take the first step of reaching out so we can help.
Lizzy Care Co-Founder
Lizzy Care was founded by a team who had firsthand experience caring for patients diagnosed with dementia. Sarah Gorenstein, a professional Geriatric Care Manager, and Ollie Fielding, who helped to care for his grandmother, could both see a clear need to make dementia care more simple.
They have teamed up with CEO Dr. Marc Rothman, a physician executive with deep experience in home- and community-based services for older adults, and world-leading scientific advisors, Dr. Russell Swerdlow and Dr. Richard Isaacson, to ensure Lizzy Care is up-to-date on the latest in dementia and Alzheimer’s research.
The central focus of Dr. Rothman’s professional career has always been older adults: listening for their needs and fears, designing programs and products that deliver care more effectively and safely, and striving for better outcomes and experiences.

As CEO of Lizzy Care, Dr. Rothman is able to draw from his years as a practicing physician and Chief Medical Officer to develop a service that directly address the everyday needs of its families. Dr. Rothman was most recently the Chief Medical Officer of Signify Health where he led a nationwide practice of over 10,000 in-home providers, was responsible for medical and clinical strategy, and spearheaded the development of several new patient-facing clinical products.

She saw so many incredible families face the same struggle: they were giving every bit of their hearts to care for moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, but they simply didn’t have the experience to manage it all.
