Thought Partner
Think of us as a thought partner in your caregiving journey. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, vent, and get some advice. We are a phone call away, to counsel you and guide you along the way and assist you in integrating caregiving into your lifestyle in a positive, caring way. We will meet with you face-to-face to discuss your needs and desires. We can provide support and resources to get you started and guide you in identifying next steps along your caregiving journey.

Housing Options
Research & identify housing opportunities tailored to your loved one’s needs. We know it can be overwhelming when you have to make decisions for your loved one. We will delve into your specific needs and identify the best solution, whether it’s a group home or assisted living, senior living, memory care, adult daycare or hospice care. We will then help schedule appointments and also mentor you along the way. We set up your tours, accompany you and provide you with pertinent questions as you consider housing that meets your needs. We offer guidance as you make your decision to ensure a smooth transition and follow up 30 days after your move to ensure your loved one is comfortable in their new surroundings.

We have many referrals and resources to assist you with these as well as medical directives, investments, and financial solutions.
Networking With Other Caregiver Communities
It is only when we talk to others in similar situations do we know that we are not alone. A community of similar caregivers provide a sounding board to share and exchange stories, experiences and advice. We will connect you with caregivers who are on a similar journey.
