Over the last several years I’ve had the good fortune of meeting many wonderful people who work in the senior industry. My affection for Seniors goes back to when I first started taking care of my father-in-law around 2003. What began as a seemingly normal state of senility quickly developed into a rare and specific dementia called Progressive Supra Nuclear Palsy, diagnosed at UCLA in 2005.
Since that time, I’ve made it a point to assist Seniors with their real estate needs as an advocate first, professional Realtor second.
For those who are in need of assistance for their parents, grandparents, or any other Seniors in their life, I’ve been in your shoes. I’m still in those shoes. If one is in need of aid, please understand there is no reason to go through adjustments with your loved one by yourself. Even if there’s no need to reach out today, it’s comforting to know there will be support when needed.
Here’s my list of various resources for Seniors and Families. Please note that I’ve had personal experience dealing with each one of these groups in some capacity or another, some more than others, therefore, I share these, not only as a professional, but personally as well. Look for more information on these and other resources in future blogs. And more about Senior Living Assistance coming soon…
