The personal challenges and successes I encountered while trying to navigate assisted living decisions with loved ones inspired me to provide this needed service to other elders and their families.
My family first encountered difficult care decisions after my father was hospitalized and we considered various options ranging from home modification and support services to assisted living.
Eloise's father, Kent and Aunt Ruth.
I then became the primary care coordinator for my aunt Ruth in Tucson, Arizona after Ruth fractured her pelvis and shoulder while living independently. I felt an initial sense of frustration and of being overwhelmed. Especially since I was faced with the challenges of physical distance, a relatively short decision making period, and no one to guide me. Fortunately, I eventually found a placement specialist who led me through the process and served as a role model for the level of service that I now provide as Tweeten Eldercare Advisors.
