Here When You Need Guidance Most

Caring for an aging loved one can bring stress, confusion, and overwhelming decisions—especially when health concerns arise or independence begins to slip away. That’s where I come in. With over 40 years of experience in eldercare and social work, I help families navigate these challenges with confidence and compassion.

As a Geriatric Care Manager, I provide personalized support that helps you make informed decisions, coordinate care, and ensure your loved one’s well-being—whether they’re aging in place, considering new living arrangements, or facing health concerns.

I also facilitate a monthly Family Caregiver Support Group for families navigating dementia and other aging-related care.

How I can help

1. Aging in Place and Home Safety

Many seniors prefer to stay in their own homes for as long as possible—but making that happen takes planning and support. I conduct home safety assessments, arrange for personal emergency response systems, and help with home maintenance. From meal services to durable medical equipment, I connect families with the resources they need to keep their loved ones safe and independent at home.

2. Navigating Medical and Health Concerns

Health challenges like Alzheimer’s, dementia, diabetes, or stroke can quickly complicate caregiving. I work closely with physicians and specialists, coordinate care, and make sure your loved one gets the services they need—while helping you understand what to expect every step of the way.

3. Supporting Families from Afar

When you’re not living nearby, it’s easy to feel helpless. I bridge the gap with ongoing communication and regular check-ins, so you know how your loved one is doing. Whether it’s coordinating services, arranging home health care, or just being a local advocate, I’m here to provide peace of mind.

4. Planning Transitions to New Residences

Sometimes the safest or most comfortable option is a move to a senior community or assisted living facility. I help families navigate these transitions by identifying the right setting, handling logistics, and even providing emotional support for a loved one who may be hesitant about change.

5. End-of-Life Planning and Support

Facing end-of-life decisions is never easy. I guide families through advanced directives or living wills, help with selecting hospice services, and support emotional well-being for both the older adult and the family. I also assist with memorial planning, helping families honor their loved one’s life and navigate the process of letting go.

Family Caregiver Support Group

Caring for an older adult — especially someone with dementia — can feel isolating. I facilitate a Family Caregiver Support Group that meets virtually once a month over Zoom. It's an open-ended group for family members involved in caring for someone with dementia or other health-related needs, built on a psychosocial-educational model.

The group offers:

• Education on dementia, other medical conditions, and cognitive decline associated with aging
• Suggestions, tips, and coping strategies for specific situations
• Space to process feelings of guilt, frustration, grief, and loss
• A safe forum to gain support from others who understand
• Help identifying resources for your situation
