Order Choose Your Place: Rethinking Home As You AgeI have  worked in elder related services for over 20 years. Coordinating an Elderhostel program in New Hampshire led to a career defined by a passion for working with elders in a variety of settings including mental health, home health, and currently as a geriatric care manager and professional guardian. I am certified as an Advanced Aging Life Care Specialist through the Aging Life Care Association (formally the National Academy of Geriatric Care Managers); a nationally certified Master Guardian; and a Care Manager Certified issued by the National Academy of Certified Care Managers.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English and Psychology and a Master of Science degree in Therapeutic Recreation with an allied field of Educational Psychology. I am co-author with Leslie Eckford of Beating the Senior Blues: How to Feel Better and Enjoy Life Again (New Harbinger), and have fascination with topics on healthy aging, aging in place, and housing and support services for low income elders. I also love stories of amazing athletic feats by older adults!

Be inspired about your own aging process. Take the time to be educated so that when the time comes for you or someone you care about you will be armed and ready!
