Our Story
For years, I have been the sole caregiver for my mother, who bravely battled Parkinson’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia. While working as a licensed healthcare professional, I met my future husband—who would later become not just my partner in life, but also my partner in caregiving. Having walked a similar path caring for his late mother and grandmother, he understood the emotional and physical toll caregiving can take.
Together, we leaned on our healthcare backgrounds and our lived experiences to care for Mom through every stage—hospital visits, two rehabilitation stays, and eventually, the decision to move her into a Memory Care home when 24/7 support became necessary.
We couldn’t have done it alone. My “sister from another mother,” Sheila, owner of djmb Senior Resources, was a guiding light. She helped us navigate the complex world of senior housing—especially the differences between Memory Care and Assisted Living—and ultimately helped place Mom in the right home.
Through all the challenges we had a realization. A lightbulb moment.
We found our WHY.
Why? Because no one should have to go through what we did without support, guidance, and a plan. We want our journey to serve as a roadmap for others. Whether or not we can offer you an insurance solution, we want to offer you something even more valuable: real-life insight, compassionate guidance, and tools to help you plan for your future.
When a health crisis strikes, it reveals people’s true colors and will change the foundations of family dynamics. That’s why it’s so important to protect yourself and your loved ones—before a crisis hits.
Be proactive. Make a plan. Define your final wishes. Secure your future and your peace of mind.
