Staff Trainings on Aging-in-Place in Independent Living
We offer customized trainings for building staff who support older adults aging in place within independent living settings. Our trainings are designed for environments where time, staffing, and resources are limited, and where residents may not have access to higher levels of care.
Each training is tailored to the specific needs of your building, staff roles, and resident population. Topics may include understanding dementia and cognitive changes, recognizing when residents may need additional support, navigating options for higher levels of care, and gaining insight into the physical, emotional, and social experience of aging.
Grounded in real-world experience, our trainings provide practical tools, clear guidance, and realistic strategies staff can apply immediately. The goal is to help staff feel more confident, compassionate, and prepared—while supporting residents’ safety, dignity, and independence for as long as possible.

Professional Consultation
We offer expert consultations on a wide range of aging-in-place challenges facing senior housing communities and service providers. Our consultations address complex, real-world issues such as supporting residents experiencing geriatric syndromes, managing difficult or high-needs situations with limited resources, and implementing best practices for residents who require additional assistance but do not qualify for—or cannot afford—higher levels of care.
With over 20 years of experience working with older adults across all economic levels and with diverse physical, social, and mental health needs, we provide practical, compassionate guidance grounded in deep field experience. Our approach balances resident dignity and autonomy with staff capacity, safety concerns, and operational realities.
We partner with staff and leadership to problem-solve, identify appropriate supports, and develop realistic strategies that promote stability, safety, and quality of life for residents aging in place—especially in settings serving low-income older adults.
