As a family and elder law attorney, I’ve worked with many professionals, but Shannon stands out as an exceptional elder care consultant. Her clinical insight and deep compassion bring clarity to the complex situations our clients face. She helps families thin through options, prepares them for long-term care decisions, and empowers clients to express their end of life wishes with confidence. Her involvement not only supports families, it enhances the legal planning process.
Working with Shannon, was a game-changer for me and for our family. I felt helpless about my father’s needs as he aged and had ongoing health issues. Her depth of knowledge, calm presence, and clear guidance not only helped us navigate complex medical issues but truly empowered my father to make choices about his own care and lifestyle. She made sure he felt heard, respected, and in control. One person can make a big difference.
If you're a solo ager—someone aging without nearby family or support— Shannon can help you create a clear roadmap for the future, including emergency contacts, healthcare preferences, and practical plans that align with your values.
She also supports families navigating:
Change management for the elderly (like sudden illness or new diagnoses)
How to find, get, and pay for good care
Fall prevention assessments and home safety evaluations
In-home care vs. facility-based care decisions
Communication with your LTC ombudsman, physicians, or care team
Whether you're a spouse, adult child, or distant relative, caregiving often comes with questions, stress, and decision fatigue. On Your Terms elder care consulting services offer options for respite care and tools for caregivers. You'll also get a guide to finding the right caregiver for your situation, help understanding insurance coverage and billing, support during a health crisis or unexpected hospitalization, and advocacy in situations involving conflicting providers or family opinions
With extensive experience in gerontology, hospice nursing and patient advocacy, Shannon believes elder care should reflect your personal goals—not just your medical chart. Her goal is to help you age with dignity, purpose, and a plan.
