“There is a wisdom of the head, and… there is a wisdom of the heart.” — Charles Dickens

We start with what matters to you. 

I meet with you or your loved one in person to hear what is working well, what feels difficult, and where a little help could make everyday life easier. Together, we identify up to three priorities to explore.

Your wishes, routines and preferences guide the conversation. Family members can be involved with your permission, while keeping the older adult at the centre of the plan.

 We explore what is possible.

I research services and resources related to your priorities, considering your location, preferences and budget. That might mean meal services, transportation, non-medical help at home, or opportunities to stay connected with others.

You will see what could be helpful for your situation, along with available pricing, so you can make informed choices about the help you would like.

 We map out your next steps.

I gather the research into a written plan with relevant resources and suggested next steps, usually within two weeks of our visit. Then we go through it together, talk about your questions, and identify where you would like to begin.

You do not have to do everything at once. The plan gives you a starting point and something to refer back to as you move forward.
