CLO Consulting
Addressing the emotional aspects and misconceptions often associated with Senior Living Decisions.
Senior Living Expert
Throughout my career in the senior living industry, I have seen how seniors and their families can become overwhelmed while trying to make quality-of-life decisions. I found that often they didn’t know the right questions to ask, and more importantly, how to ask the questions that would help them through the senior living decision process. Because of this, I was inspired to write “Be Your Own Hero: Senior Living Decisions Simplified,” to outline the senior living decision process. Senior living decisions are emotional, complicated, and include many factors. I hope to debunk the myths surrounding senior living and to create a movement of knowledgeable and independent seniors who research their options early.
