I love this! There is an article in the August issue of Fall City Neighbors about growing older that really resonated with me.

One message stood out above all the rest: getting older doesn’t diminish a person’s value—it often reveals it. Our older neighbors continue to contribute, volunteer, mentor, learn, laugh, and enrich our community in countless ways. They deserve to be seen, heard, respected, and included.

Living and working in the Snoqualmie Valley, I have the privilege of meeting incredible older adults every week. Their stories, resilience, wisdom, and generosity are a gift to our community.

As families, we also know that aging can bring difficult decisions. There may come a time when a parent needs a little extra support, help navigating healthcare, or guidance exploring housing options. Those conversations can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone.

At Summit Care Advisors, I’m here to help families through those transitions with compassion, practical guidance, and personalized support—so older adults can continue living with dignity, purpose, and the respect they’ve earned.

To all of the older adults who have helped shape Fall City and the Snoqualmie Valley: thank you. Your lives, your experiences, and your contributions matter more than you know. ❤️

AUGUST NEIGHBORS NOW AVAILABLE
Almost one-third of Fall City residents are Seniors. In this month’s issue we learn what getting older means for seniors and Millennials and how we can come together to support and learn from each other. We also discover how we can keep our children safe as they enjoy our rivers, lakes and pools this summer, and how the Fall City "girls of summer” broke barriers and opened new opportunities in women’s sports.

I’m excited to announce that Summit Care Advisors now offers Housing Placement Services!

Finding the right living situation for an older adult can be emotional and overwhelming. Whether your family is considering independent living, assisted living, memory care, or an adult family home, I can help you understand the options and find communities that fit your loved one’s needs, preferences, lifestyle, and budget.

Adding this service is a natural extension of the work I already do. As a care coordinator and advisor, I want to provide continuity of support—not hand a family off when it is time to consider a move.

I can help assess care needs, identify appropriate options, recommend local communities, coordinate tours, and guide your family through the decision-making process from the first conversation through finding the right fit.

Housing placement services are provided at no cost to families.*

If you or someone you know is beginning to consider a move—or simply wants to plan ahead—I would be honored to help.

Call me to learn more! 425-393-5066

*Summit Care Advisors may receive a referral fee from the community selected.

What a fun way to meet people, try new restaurants and build new friendships!

I'm helping one of my clients prepare to move to The Watermark, and I think she will love opportunities like this.

If you or a loved one is considering a move—whether downsizing, exploring senior living, or simply wondering what options are available—I can help evaluate communities and find the right fit.

Sometimes the right move isn’t only about receiving more support. It can also open the door to new experiences, friendships and community.

Residents of the Watermark senior community have access to all the recreational amenities one could imagine. Still, many are drawn to this intimate supper club.

Family caregiving is often invisible work — and for many adult children, it happens while also managing careers, children, marriages, finances, and everyday life.

The mental, emotional, and logistical weight can become overwhelming quickly.

Summit Care Advisors helps families carry that weight with more clarity and support. I help with things like:

Care coordination
Medical appointment support
Family communication
Companion and respite support
Home safety and aging-in-place planning
Navigating care options
Exploring senior living and housing placement when staying home is no longer the best fit

You do not have to figure everything out alone.

If you are caring for an aging parent and feel like you are constantly reacting instead of planning, I would be happy to talk through your situation and help you identify the next best steps.
