How I Can Help
My services are best described as those tasks that one would do to help a parent, including: downsizing and finding long-term living arrangements; attend medical appointments and follow through with the doctor's recommendations; well-being checks; manage caregiver issues, and manage transitions from hospital to ensure everything is ready when the client gets home. I have the added experience and network of resources to develop and manage goal-oriented plans to resolve complex issues. I serve as Healthcare Power of Attorney (POA), and also help family members navigate their duties as POA. My care philosophy emphasizes the importance I place on my client's wishes, lifestyle, rights, values and goals.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I built my company out of my passion for helping and protecting aging adults to ensure they live the best life possible according to their wishes and goals. I am passionate about helping families manage their loved one's journey with the different types of dementia because of my personal and professional experience with this disease. Older adults aging alone are a perfect fit for my skill sets and boutique business model offering a high level of customer service and positive outcomes. Over many years of working with older adults, the experiences I've had and client feedback has reaffirmed to me that this work is my purpose, passion, and that I am exactly where I need to be.
