Everyone’s healthcare needs are unique, a customized care plan is an investment in your parent’s and your long-term health. The value I provide is a step-by-step care plan that eliminates confusion, frustration, and overwhelm. I provide peace of mind and reassurance that I will be there with you for difficult questions and routine exams.
When you work with me, neither you nor your parents are lost in the system, you are not a number but my number one priority.

I will not take over your seniors care or change your developed plan. My purpose is to advocate, guide, and support you and your parents. Navigating the healthcare system is complicated and expensive. I want to lend my expertise to help you manage all the appointments, medications, and processes, so you don’t have to do it alone. Working with a professional who has experience in the industry and can help explain how it all works will ultimately save you time and money.
When you work with me, you will know the right care plan is in place for your parents, providing you peace of mind.
To start, I will conduct three psychosocial assessments to understand the current care plan, medications, needs, and long-term goals. Based on those, I will recommend a care plan with specific action steps. The care plan can include: attending medical appointments, advocating care, explaining procedures, signing up for services like Access-A-Ride, social security, or do wellness checks.
I am your partner in this journey and am transparent in my process. I will not recommend a care plan I do not 100% agree with. I am open to adding or removing options you do not feel comfortable with.
The level of commitment depends on you. There is no contract to work with me long term, you can cancel at any moment. I provide package options, as well as a la carte options, so you can customize the package that works best.

I am professionally trained and ready to provide my expertise to your family.
