Founding Partner, EF, LLC
President, EF Ally, LLC
Patricks's Biography
Patrick Flaherty stands above the crowd. And if you’ve met Patrick, at 6’9” tall, you know we mean this literally.
But we also mean this figuratively. After captaining the Brown University basketball team, Patrick worked at several technology companies after graduation. Patrick then decided he wanted to make a more direct impact on those in need, so he started a home health care business that has grown to 150 caregivers who’ve helped hundreds of individuals and their families during some of the most vulnerable times in their lives.
But Patrick didn’t stop there. When Patrick met Bob Eisenstein and Matt Muratore, he identified people who shared his work ethic and ethos about being caregivers first, and business people second. Together, they launched Eisenstein Flaherty & Associates with the goal of helping senior care facilities deliver better care to as many residents as possible. And they’ve succeeded. Since 2018, they’ve consulted with over 100 facilities in Massachusetts helping them improve clinical outcomes while strengthening their bottom lines.
And Patrick’s commitment to the community is as big as he is. In addition to running two successful businesses, in 2019, he ran for and was elected to the Plymouth, MA Select Board. Patrick’s contributions to his community and industry were recognized in 2022, when Patrick was named a “Future Leader” (40 Under 40) by Skilled Nursing News for his achievements in the field.
So if you’re responsible for operating a senior care facility and need some help, don’t hesitate to give Patrick a call. He’ll be more than happy to look over your shoulder and give you some helpful advice.
