Navigation, Advocacy & Support for Aging Adults and Their Families

Whether you're helping a loved one age safely at home, coordinating care after a health crisis, or planning ahead for your own future, navigating elder care can be confusing and overwhelming. At On Your Terms, we help families find clarity, confidence, and peace of mind through senior care consulting, advocacy, and personalized support.

Solo Agers & Changing Needs

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

Support for Families & Caregivers

Whether you're a spouse, adult child, or distant relative, caregiving often comes with questions, stress, and decision fatigue. Shannon’s elder care consulting provides respite for caregivers and tools to help you become a confident advocate for your loved one. 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

Advocating for Aging on Your Terms

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.
