Think of me as a realtor for elder care.
Let me find your loved one a spot at the most compassionate care homes, group homes, and assisted living facilities in the East Valley.
FIND THE RIGHT CARE
So, your loved one can no longer live independently.
It’s time to cross the bridge your whole family has been dreading. No one wants to uproot their life to move to an expensive facility full of strangers, especially considering that not all facilities are created equal and the quality of care can vary. There’s an overwhelming fear of making the wrong choice.
The good news is…you are absolutely not alone. Placement specialists, like myself, are here to make this transition easier – walking with you every step of the way (and, believe me you’ll log plenty of steps on your Fitbit).
LET'S TALK
First of all, please know that my services are 100% free to the residents and their families.
My compensation agreement is between myself and whichever community you choose. I am an advocate for you and your loved one alone.
Think of this process like finding an apartment...
...with some additional considerations.
We’ll talk through your budget, your loved one’s mental and physical capacity, likes, dislikes, insurance… there are so many variables! Here are some of the things I need to know:
- Level of care needed
- Cognitive assessment
- Budget and insurance options
- Dietary concerns
- Pets
Hi, I’m Terri Izard.
I'm the founder of Aging Agendas, a certified Senior Care Advisor, and an after-loss coach.
This work is personal to me. I’ve been through this process four times with my parents and in-laws, so I know exactly what you're going through. Touring facility after facility, navigating insurance and financial concerns, overcoming the guilt.... It feels like a no-win situation.
My goal is to hold your hand through it all. You are not alone, even though you may feel that way right now. I'll cry with you and cheer you up with the occasional homemade cookie.
My job is connecting the right resource with the most pressing need, and I have relationships in my rolodex you could never imagine.
READ MY STORY
Remember, placement services are 100% free to you and your loved one.
And, if you'd rather explore home care options, I offer consulting for that too.
If finances are a concern, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your loved one may qualify for low-income senior resources.
If your loved one is moving, now is the perfect time to gather their assets.
You might be looking for a place to compile the passwords, deeds, identification, and so many more important papers. If you don't know where to start...start with a Nokbox.
