             Inspiration for Senior Moment Solutions, LLC

Although I spent many years working in healthcare, I was totally unprepared to care for my dad when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. My siblings and I tried our best to care for him but we were always exhausted. It eventually was too much for our mom as well.

Looking back, I realize how stressful it was for our entire family. We barely survived each day and found ourselves reacting to each medical crisis rather than creating a plan together. We were not prepared to be caregivers - we were only prepared to love our parents no matter what.

After completing this end-of-life journey with my parents, I decided to help others prepare for caregiving and hopefully avoid a crisis like we experienced. After becoming a Certified Professional Coach and Certified Caregiving Consultant, I created Senior Moment Solutions, LLC. I now focus my efforts on helping adult children understand what they will face as their parents age. I provide elder care information and connections to resources, senior-friendly lifestyle options and criteria for selecting caregivers. Having experienced hospice care with my dad and later as a hospice volunteer, I provide extra support to families during this difficult end-of-life experience. As a trained bereavement facilitator, I also provide grief support groups and conduct workshops on many caregiving topics.

It would be an honor to work with you and your family on your caregiving journey.
