About Erica
Growing up I was always surrounded by seniors. Whether it was a family dinner, special occasion, or just being picked up from school, my great aunts and grandparents were always there to lend a hand. They were always there for me when I needed them and they taught me so much about life, including impeccable table manners! Haha! As a result of these experiences, I always knew that I wanted to work with seniors and help them live their best and most fulfilling lives possible.
At the age of 19, I was given the opportunity to do just that when the health of both my great aunts began to deteriorate and they needed my help. So what began as helping aging family members, soon turned into a deep passion for the senior community and inspired me to follow a career in Recreational Therapy.
Now with 17 years of experience in the field (along with a diploma in Gerontology-based Therapeutic Recreation and a Dementia Care Provider certification), I have a profound understanding of the emotional, intellectual, physical and financial needs of seniors and their families. My years of experience range from home care, adult day programs, Independent & Assisted Living, as well as complex care. All of this has opened my eyes to the wide array of stimulating environments for seniors to thrive in.
Knowing that there are many fears and misconceptions about what it means to live in a Retirement Community, I have made it my mission to help families discover a new way of Retirement living. Whether you are looking for freedom from household chores and the constant upkeep of a house, or require a bit of assistance with certain activities of daily living, or maybe you are needing to place a loved one into Long-Term Care; whatever it may be, I am here to help lighten the load and guide you through this journey.
With a compassionate understanding of the emotional stress and challenges a big change like this can have on both the senior and their loved ones, I have created a personalized retirement living concierge service to help older adults navigate through a wide variety of retirement living options and resources, so that they can choose the perfect environment for themselves or their aging loved one with ease. There are so many options out there, sometimes it is difficult to know where to even begin.
Just think of me as your personal GPS to retirement living!
