CALL JACKIE-Senior Living Placement, Guidance, and Options

😢 My business can be tough on the heart. 💔

I’ve always had a deep passion for what I do. Helping families navigate the overwhelming and emotional journey of senior care isn’t just my job—it’s my calling. I believe in showing up with compassion, respect, and heart every single time.

I spent two years working closely with a loving couple, building a deep connection along the way. When the time came, I helped them find an Assisted Living home for the husband—he had advanced dementia, but he was otherwise healthy. He was the sweetest soul. We called him “Doc.”

Just a month later, I got the heartbreaking news that he had passed. It was completely unexpected. He was only 81.
For those of us in this industry who truly put families first, we know—we are more than placement agents. We become social workers, advocates, therapists, resource providers, shoulders to lean on, and friends. Sometimes, we’re even welcomed in as family.

To Doc’s beautiful, loving family, my deepest condolences. Thank you for letting me walk beside you. I will miss him dearly.

💔 “We just want her home.”
That’s what her husband said, holding her hand as we discussed her discharge from rehab.

She needs help with everything now—getting out of bed, bathing, using the bathroom, managing medications. These aren’t small things. They require trained, consistent care to be done safely. One person—especially someone untrained and already overwhelmed—simply can’t do it all.

I gently recommended assisted living. Not to take her away from her home, but to give her the care and dignity she needs… and to protect the man who loves her from burning out or breaking under the weight of it all.

But the family is choosing to take her home.

I pray it works out. Sometimes it does. But too often, we see heartbreak—falls, rushed 911 calls, caregiver exhaustion, hospital readmission.

We all want to honor our loved ones' wishes. But safety matters too. Support matters. You don’t have to do this alone.

👉Your love isn’t measured by doing it all—it’s measured by doing what’s best.

I wish I could promise every family I work with that the place they move into will always stay safe, welcoming, and just right for them. But the truth is, I can’t make that guarantee—not in today’s world, where things change so fast, and not always for the better.
It tears me apart when I get the call: “Things have changed… we need to move.” I feel their stress, their disappointment, and their fear. I carry it with me, even when there’s nothing I could’ve done to prevent it.
I may not be able to promise permanence, but I can promise this: I’ll always be there when you need to start over. I’ll stand with you, help you find the next place, and walk with you through the hard parts. You’re not alone in this.

I had a family who needed a home for their Dad. I truly felt for this family. Their dad has some specific needs—his memory issues sometimes lead him to say things that can come off inappropriate, especially around women. They were very upfront about wanting a home with male caregivers and mostly male residents. And this home was perfect: six male residents, two women who mostly stayed in their rooms, amazing caregivers, a larger room than what he has now, and great state surveys.
When we left the tour and got him settled in the car, the daughter looked at me and said, "We love it. We just need to talk as a family, but we’ll probably take it." I didn’t want to pressure them—I have a reputation for giving people space to decide without feeling pushed—so I waited a couple days.
Unfortunately, while they were still deciding, another family stepped in and took the room. I felt genuinely bad, because I really believed this was the best fit for their dad and their situation. But I was very transparent: it’s always first come, first served.
This kind of thing is always hard. You want the best for everyone, and when the stars align like that and it slips through... it stings. But I know I did everything I could, and I hope if another opportunity comes up, they’ll reach back out.

Today is NATIONAL VIETNAM WAR VETERANS DAY. A moment to deeply honor and remember the incredible sacrifices made by the men and women who served during the Vietnam War. Their courage, resilience, and commitment to their duty shaped not only the course of history but also the lives of countless people, both during and after the conflict. Their legacy lives on in the stories of bravery, friendship, and service. May we always remember their dedication and the price they paid for the freedoms we enjoy today.
This is my Uncle Gerry who lost his life in Vietnam. Always loved, never forgotten.
