A Bit of My Story......and Why I Do What I Do

I am a people person....love people....of all ages!! An interesting combination, and one I have loved. Why?

Vacca Associates Family Checks n’ Balances is your personal concierge... budgeting/bill pay, transport/coordination of medical/dental appointments, housing moves, garage/estate sales, being an advocate - whatever daily life involves! So, it came as no surprise when I found myself working with both teenagers and older adults! They are so much alike in my mind....exploring, interesting, testing the

patience of many, challenging preconceived ideas, great adapters, unpredictable and incredibly loving and caring. My career path took me into aging and healthcare...and youth ministry! In aging and healthcare, I have spent decades working directly with older adults and their families, designing new programs for an aging population, training healthcare and social service professionals on aging issues, leading retirement planning seminars, and advocating on legislation impacting older adults. I also became involved in the financial services industry as a licensed insurance agent and securities licensed advisor (my securities license I have let go of so I can do my current work). In youth ministry, I have worked with hundreds of teens, young adults and their families, teaching and training, mentoring, supporting and housing, and putting my counseling training to good use. Through all of my experiences, I have realized that I like solving problems, being an advocate and mediator, and dealing with whatever need to be done. To help make life a bit easier, less confusing and complicated, relieving the stress of being overwhelmed so many family caregivers experience and letting family be "family" and not having to be the 'pro' in the many aspects of aging-related issues and concerns. I often tell people, .."I am just a 'life manager. Whatever life throws at you, I can help manage and I can walk the journey with you to help in anyway I can." So, my work is all about....YOU!! I am here to make your life run easier and smoother....from getting the things done that need doing each day to planning ahead for the unknown future. And, I have a number of trusted colleagues I work with to ensure that you get the right input, insight and understanding so you can make the best informed decisions for you and your loved ones.

Here's my latest video on our 5 senses.

It was a fun one to do! We often don't think about how our 5 sensory systems are doing until we have a problem or issue with them.

Let me know your thoughts. Enjoy!

To all my Facebook friends...

I just posted my latest video on my V***a Associates YouTube channel. It is a response to a question on what a family member should do if they see loved one in severe mental decline.

Because this is such a difficult and complex issue, this video provides some initial pointers and leaves much yet to be discussed.

Take a look, leave me any comments or ask any questions. We're on the journey of caregiving together.

This video is in response to a question I was asked by a member of my Skool community, The Family Care Compass, about what a family member should be doing if...
