Arvette M. Reid, AIF^®, is a Healthcare Planning Strategist at Signature Estate & Investment Advisors, LLC (SEIA) and a member of Tom West’s team in the firm’s Tysons, Virginia office. She works with families through SEIA’s Lifecare Affordability Plan^®, helping connect retirement planning with the healthcare, long-term-care, and caregiving decisions that can reshape a family’s financial life.

Arvette brings more than 15 years of experience in the senior housing and healthcare industry, spanning independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing care, and hospice. This background gives her a practical understanding of the choices families may face as a loved one ages, as well as the emotional and financial pressures that can accompany those decisions.

Her work is centered on helping clients and their families consider how care needs, housing choices, cash flow, retirement income, insurance, taxes, and family responsibilities can work together. She helps make a complex and often time-sensitive conversation more understandable, so families can evaluate their options with greater confidence and prepare for the future while preserving dignity and choice.

Arvette has shared her perspective on long-term-care and caregiving planning through interviews, podcasts, and educational programs for families, older adults, and community organizations. She co-created and co-hosted the Lifecare Affordability Planning podcast with Tom West, exploring the financial realities of aging, caregiving, and long-term healthcare costs.

Her work has received industry recognition, including RIA Intel’s Rising Star of the Year award in 2022 and Wealth Solutions Report’s Black Client Advocate of the Year recognition in 2023. She was also named an InvestmentNews Women to Watch Excellence Awardee in 2023 in the Rising Star Advisor of the Year category.
