SENIOR LIVING EXPERT
As a Senior Living Expert, I have over 26 years experience in helping families make decisions as they explore the next step in their lives. For 18 years I was the Director of Sales and Marketing for Oak Hammock at the University of Florida, one of the top university based retirement communities in the country. Oak Hammock has levels of care ranging from independent living to assisted, memory care, and skilled nursing. I was the Administrative Director of an Assisted Living/Memory Care facility as well. Since leaving Oak Hammock, I started my own consulting business, Senior Living Strategies, with the goal of helping families make wise and educated choices. I have extensive experience assisting individuals, couples, and families develop a plan for successful aging whether the need is immediate or a plan for the future. My years of experience both professionally and personally give me a broad background in senior healthcare and senior living. I am truly dedicated to sharing my knowledge to help you navigate the challenges faced by so many seniors and their families today.
Helping Families Find Solutions
EXTENSIVE Experience
My years in senior living have given me the expertise needed to advise individuals and families from all walks of life on developing a workable plan that meets the needs of the individual and the family. I find it personally rewarding to help families problem solve, no matter how difficult a situation may be. Whether you need to know what level of care may be needed, or how to be prepared to handle a new diagnosis of dementia, or how best to re-locate your loved one and find the right facility, I can help.
Helping Seniors with Transitions
Strengths
My last 18 years have been spent as Director of Sales and Marketing for Oak Hammock at the University of Florida which is a top tier Life Care or continuing care retirement community. I have worked very closely with thousands of families as they moved into a new phase of their life from planning ahead and downsizing, to making the difficult decisions around skilled nursing and memory care . I am an expert in understanding the nuances of C.C.R.C contracts and how to vet a community. Helping people through these transitions has been my life focus for the last 18 years.
Understanding Senior Living Options
How I can help!!
Understanding the rules and regulations in the senior living industry and senior healthcare, as well as the cost of both home care and community based care gives me the knowledge to steer you in the right direction. I have the ability to communicate across generations to help families come up with the best approach to senior living and health care. The process can seem overwhelming, confusing and emotional without help. I can work with you and your family to make sure you are comfortable with decisions that will meet the needs of the whole family.
