About Us

We recognize the importance of a thorough assessment that includes determination of medical, physical, mental, socio-economic, family support, medication management, emotional and environmental considerations that do or potentially may impact the ability of individuals to maintain independence. We also understands the losses that sometime come with aging, including reduced independence – due to physical mobility as well as the issues related to driving, the need sometimes to give/sell treasured possessions because of limited space in a new living arrangement and loss of relationships due to physical location, cognitive issues and death of loved ones.

How We Got Started

Sharmalee's interest in working with the elderly resulted initially from being
raised by her grandparents. We believe that seniors are individuals worthy of
respect regardless of their current physical or cognitive limitations.
Quality of life is the goal and that may mean helping clients remain in their own homes, resolve an issue in a facility, provide support with following medical instructions or assisting in a myriad of other situations.
Sharmalee's education has included a focus on Alzheimer's disease, environmental
issues including adaptations for safety, and care management. She has experience conducting memory screenings and assisting with transitions needed due to health changes.
Recognizing the losses that accompany changes in aging enables us to provide support for clients and their families through difficult times. We listen and work with the client, family and service providers to ensure the most beneficial outcomes.

(more) Geriatric care managers and Aging Life Care Professionals have been impacted because we are not able to provide the level of service to our clients that we could when were able to see them face to face. Families are less likely to refer because they do not think care managers will be able to have access to their family members.  Part of my service includes going to the emergency room with clients that have dementia. Necessary hospital and elder care facilities  restrictions make it difficult to provide the level of care that some of our clients need. Some of my colleagues have been very creative in coming up with ways to get information about clients from facilities and trying to enable clients to have video chats with their families. Nothing takes the place though of having the ability to sit with a client and provide one-to-one attention and comfort.
