It feels like every answer comes with three new questions.
One day you’re helping with appointments and medication reminders.
The next you’re trying to understand care costs, assisted living, home care, Medicaid, and how long the money will last.
And the more you learn, the more there seems to be to figure out.
I help you sort through the options and know what to do next.
Book a Consult
You’re doing the research, asking questions, and trying to make good decisions.
Do you bring in help at home or start looking at assisted living?
What can your parent afford?
What happens if the money runs out?
And which decision needs to happen first?
Before long, you’re trying to piece together a plan without knowing how one choice could affect the next.
You're probably here for one of two reasons.
Something happened. A fall, a hospital stay, a visit that worried you, and now you're making decisions faster than you expected and trying not to get them wrong.
Or nothing has happened yet, but you can see it coming, and you'd rather have a plan than wait for the call that forces one.
Either way, you're in the right place. These conversations are built for both.
Hi, I’m Christen Bergeron
I spent 25 years working inside senior living communities and later served as Vice President of Operations for two of the country’s largest senior living companies.
Over the years, I learned that most people don’t need more information. They need help understanding what information matters.
That’s the perspective I bring to these conversations.
Together, we’ll look at the decisions in front of you, talk through the factors that may affect them, and identify questions you may not even know to ask yet.
The questions are usually different, but they tend to sound something like this:
• Can Mom afford assisted living?
• How long will the money last?
• Is home care really cheaper?
• What happens when more care is needed?
• Should we sell the house?
• What happens when savings start running low?
If those questions feel familiar, you’re exactly who I created these sessions for.
