Finding residential care for your loved one can be stressful. It is the rare family that plans in advance for a time when Mom or Dad can no longer live at home. After all, almost all of us would prefer to age in our homes than live in assisted living. Fortunate are the ones who can stay at home as they age. Sometimes, that is not the safest or wisest decision since it could be difficult and truly unhealthy for family members trying to be the caregivers.

Sometimes our families just need more help with challenging transitions and decision-making. This may include facilitating essential conversations between family members, home care agency or caregiver selection, connections to valuable resources or regular visitations with a loved one providing "peace of mind" to family members when they are unable to visit themselves.
It can be comforting to have someone partner with you who is outside the emotional landscape of the family, doing research, talking to providers, organizing paperwork, or finding those "needle in a haystack" resources. A go-to person you can turn to when things get overwhelming. Whatever the need, we can customize our services for your family or provide you with vetted referral sources.

About Jeralyn Bieniek
Jeralyn has spent most of her career in sales and contract management. Working with long term care communities, she quickly recognized the different quality of services that each community provided. Looking to enter into a service related business, Jeralyn and her sister JoEllyn wanted to make a difference in their community by helping other families navigate the challenges in finding exceptional senior care. They both recognized the need for assistance with the decision making process when their Grandmother was no longer capable of living on her own. As her care needs evolved they had to determine the best course of action. When they noticed that Chicago didn't have a resource for personalized guidance with placing a loved one, they decided to join the Senior Care Authority team to make a difference in their community.
"Helping others find the right resources for their loved ones is a rewarding career".
They now use their passion and skills to assist seniors and their families in finding the right senior living and memory care communities in the Chicagoland area.
