Eat dessert first. That way, when they offer you dessert after the meal, you’ll get seconds! “A”  97 years old   Caring for my aging clients is one of the highest honors in life.  I suppose that suggests my “Love Language” is acts of service.  It’s a two-way street, however.  Giving my clients my time and energy fills my cup, but their presence, wisdom, and stories replenish my mental, emotional, and physical energy. Allow me to introduce you to my client, “A”.  A turns 97 years old this month.  She always has a sparkle in her eyes and a cat-that-a ..read more

While it's important to note that individual health can vary widely, some age-related illnesses may d ..read more

https://youtu.be/efCPe-W5N2o Aging adults, have you ever thought, “This moment is so amazing! I’ll never forget it!”? Sadly, I’m here to tell you that you will forget it. Maybe not all of it, but certainly parts. That’s why photography is so powerful. It documents that moment in time for you to have a lasting memory. All too often families are reluctant to take pictures of family members as they decline. We tell ourselves we want to savor the “good times.” Wheelchairs, hospital beds, grey hairs, and wrinkles, however, don’t always mask the person behind them. A professional photographer shared ..read more

I opened my private geriatric care management practice in July 2013. I was green in the gills, naïve to all that being an entrepreneur meant, but fully embraced the idea of, “How hard could this be?” I had a solid education in my field under my belt and felt assured of my skillset.

I’m certain if I knew the challenges that awaited me as a solopreneur, I never would have found the confidence to take that first step. I woul ..read more
