Plan Ahead. Live Well.

Thoughtful, personalized care planning to help seniors and families navigate aging with clarity, confidence, and connection.

What Is Care Planning?

Care planning is about more than managing illness or arranging future services. It’s about aligning your healthcare, lifestyle, and personal values into a clear path forward—so you’re not just reacting to crisis, but actively shaping your next chapter.

As your care planning advocate, I help you create a flexible, personalized roadmap that reflects your health needs and your quality of life goals. Whether you’re a senior planning ahead or an adult child trying to make sense of what’s next, I help you replace guesswork with guidance that feels right. Because getting older shouldn’t mean giving up control—it should mean redefining it.

Why It Matters

For Seniors

You’ve lived a life of purpose. You deserve a plan that respects that. Care planning gives you the space to express your wishes, explore your options, and make decisions on your own terms—before someone else has to guess.

For Adult Children

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “What would Mom want?” during a health emergency, you know how critical a good plan can be. I help families turn fear and uncertainty into clarity and coordination—without guilt, overwhelm, or family fallout.

How It Works

Care planning is both practical and deeply personal. Here’s what I help you do:

Assess current health, home safety, lifestyle, and support systems
Define goals for independence, safety, mobility, and connection
Outline care preferences and backup plans
Coordinate with medical providers, family, and community services
Document everything in a plan that’s easy to follow—and update
Provide communication tools for family discussions and ongoing support

This isn’t just paperwork. It’s a plan grounded in values, designed for real life.

"Donna helped us create a plan that felt like us. It wasn’t about limiting choices—it was about making sure we had the right ones ready. It gave our whole family a sense of calm we didn’t know we needed."
