How I Can Help
Don’t Wait for the Crisis — Plan Ahead and Stay Present

Are you worried about an aging loved one, a solo ager, or family member? Concerns about safety, nutrition, recovery, or living alone are real — and many challenges can be prevented or reduced with the right support in place.

I’m an independent patient advocate and Founder of Listening Advocates in Central West Florida. I work directly with aging adults, solo agers, and families, helping anticipate needs, coordinate care, and put practical supports in place before problems escalate.

With proactive planning and trusted oversight, you can stay informed, prepared, and present — with greater peace of mind.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
My path to advocacy began with family. I first stepped into the role while supporting my great aunt in a facility with complex medical and mental health needs. Later, during my mother’s complicated medical journey, I entered nursing school and learned how persistence and clear communication can change outcomes. When she was nearly transferred to a skilled nursing facility unnecessarily, one advocacy intervention and medication adjustment allowed her to regain alertness and return home for rehab.

Most recently, caring for my father in his 90s reinforced that preparation, safety planning, and backup support are the difference between chaos and peace. These experiences showed me that love alone is not enough — families need guidance, systems, and advocacy to navigate healthcare safely.

I now provide advocacy so others do not face the isolation, confusion, and preventable crises my family encountered. I help clients anticipate transitions, understand care plans, coordinate services, and put supports in place before they’re urgently needed. Advocacy offers reassurance for older adults and peace of mind for families, allowing them to stay present in the moments that matter most.
