An entrepreneur's mother is in memory care and cannot really advocate for herself. Due to the man's job and children who need care, he cannot be there as often as he wants to be. He wants to know his mom is being treated well and is engaged.
Support for Aging can provide extra support and engagement for your parent.

A middle-class couple began helping their parents who are starting to need more help at home. They are not receiving help from their siblings and are frustrated. It’s complicated.
Support for Aging can coach sibling communication techniques. Having outside support helps.

An adult child is helping her parent find the right rehabilitation care facility and is overwhelmed by the number of choices. Discharge is happening in a day or two.

FAQs

There are a number of things that inform my coaching, both with care partner/family coaching, those who are living with chronic or progressive illnesses, and in coaching people who are trying to make slow, incremental and lasting change in their lives:
Evidence and research-based practice – what is tried and true
My professional experience
My own personal experience in caring for family
Other expert advice
You can count on hearing the words, “I don’t know and I’ll find out” if you ask me a question for which I do not readily have a qualified answer.

For me, a healthy retirement is an active one. Since aging issues are my passion, I planned a retirement filled with supporting both older adults and those who support them. Support for Aging is the culmination of my years of thinking about what I would do when I was no longer working full time at Sibley Memorial Hospital, part of Johns Hopkins Medicine.
In addition, for many years I have heard people sharing concerns with getting accurate information. Many of the older adults I talked to were getting information from social media. I saw people getting conflicting advice from both content creators and those responding to questions. One of the things I love to do is provide accurate, up-to-date answers to questions I receive by asking experts and reading well researched material.

Support for Aging staff are not therapists. Therapists focus on mental and emotional health. Therapy is often a wonderful addition to coaching.
Support for Aging uses a two-way communication-centered problem-solving approach. We focus on listening and helping you set goals that center on issues related to living life as an older adult or supporting someone in your life who is an older adult. You are not alone in goal-setting. How much support you receive is contingent on how much support you want.
Support for Aging staff are not social workers. Social workers also may focus on mental and emotional health as well as supporting through complex and crisis situations. Social work is a great addition to coaching.
Support for Aging helps you meet goals you have to improve your current situation while establishing a foundation for the future you look forward to.
Support for Aging staff are not medical providers and cannot provide a diagnosis. Medical care may be needed to meet some of your goals.
