Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
In 2006 I started advocating for family members after a series of critical post-surgery complications and dire diagnoses. There were so many questions, few clear answers, and a lot of emotional roller coasters.
Soon I started going to medical appointments with friends to ensure they asked their questions and to take notes. As an adult child with elderly parents, helping others support their aging family members was a natural fit. Finding senior housing solutions, connecting families with resources, keeping those out of the area informed of their loved one's condition in surgery, the hospital, rehab, assisted living, or at home are all ways I could provide peace of mind.
I have been where you are. Maybe not the exact circumstances, but I have felt the feelings of stress, exhaustion, guilt, fear, doubt, and overwhelming emotion.
I believed there must be a better way. So I went back to school to increase my knowledge base, helped more friends with various needs to gain experience, and founded Age Smart Advocates.
Now I am taking what I have learned to make your journey a bit easier, and your burden a bit lighter.
More than 25 years in the business sector honed my communication, problem solving, project management, continuous improvement and conflict resolution skills. I pride myself on being a patient, persistent, problem solver and look forward to putting my knowledge and passion to work for you.
