In Shannon’s own words … “I love my job. My clients are seniors and their families who love them … I truly enjoy being able to help them understand the complicated long term care journey and relieve their worries. I have a personal interest in everything I do for my clients and I help my clients in just the same way I help my own family members, who are currently facing many long term care issues. It’s my job to help families navigate through the financial, health, and legal problems when their elderly loved begins their journey into chronic illness and long term care. I am a Caregiver for my own parents, which gives me first-hand knowledge, compassion, and empathy for our clients who are caregivers to their loved ones. As the saying goes… I have walked a mile in your shoes.”
