Senior Life LLC, Geriatric Care Management Nurses

Getting older has gotten pretty complicated and so has figuring out what to do next.  Many decisions are needed when you are under pressure due to a crisis or hospitalization. That's where we come in.

We are Geriatric Care Management Nurses.  We are also Consultants and Advocates. That means we make it our business to understand all aspects of eldercare. It also means that we work only for you and your best interests. We offer you insider guidance; independent of insurance companies, health systems or creative marketing.

We listen to you first. Carefully. When we understand your needs, concerns and questions, we advise you on what's available at what quality and cost. We are your "one stop shop" for understanding every option available to meet your needs. We help at our office, your home, the hospital, assisted living or nursing homes. That's the consultant part. We are also advocates. If you wish, we will work with your professional health team for best results. 

Our clients save time, energy and money. They don't "hope" they made the best choice, they know they did. Don't wait for a crisis. Call today and build a response plan for the "what ifs" that are on your mind.

Thank you for considering Senior Life. It would be our pleasure to help you.

Philosophy

Our elders have pulled our country through World Wars, more wars, The Great Depression, the civil rights movement and more wars and trying times. They deserve the red carpet treatment. Senior Life LLC believes in honesty, integrity and doing the right thing.

We treat our elders and families right; it is your life, not ours. We believe in informed decision-making. We'll explain it all to you, and then you choose. We also believe that every older adult is a valuable member of their family and our society. We will treat you accordingly. No "honey" or "sweetie" talk from us.

The Senior Life team will help soothe your stress. We listen. We help. We teach. We guide. We make referrals to trustworthy services in town. If you wish, we step in and solve problems or make things happen. We offer choices and direction. If you are saying: "I just wish someone would tell me what to do!" Then pick up the phone and call.

Message From Jennifer

We provide unbiased answers, advice, and advocacy. We know the rules, regulations and your rights. Let us take you from "hoping" you're doing the right thing to knowing you are. If you like what you see here, contact us for consultation. We will meet over a cup of coffee or tea, and discuss your concerns. During this session we will learn about your situation and then make suggestions and referrals. Sometimes that's all the help a family needs. If what you want isn't listed, just ask. If we don't know the answer, we'll tell you. Then we'll refer you to someone who does! Your best interest is our only interest. We are all about you . . . all about choice.
