We are fortunate to have expert guides in travel, hiking, and urban exploration in our community. When planning European travel adventures, Rick Steves’ Europe, based in Edmonds, is a go-to for many. For Pacific Northwest hiking, Craig Romano’s guidebooks are a must. Closer to home, there is Susanna Ryan’s delightful books Seattle Walk Report and Secret Seattle.
Just as Rick, Craig, and Susanna share their knowledge, unique perspectives, and insights, so too do my Aging Life Care colleagues with guidance, support, and resources for older adults and their families when it comes to the field of aging.
Our care management team’s individual and collective experiences and expertise in all aspects of aging make them deeply knowledgeable guides and advocates on your journey with aging. We also have extensive knowledge about the costs, quality, and availability of resources in our community and tailor recommendations to the unique needs of each client.
Additionally, we are part of a professional association, the Aging Life Care Association (ALCA). Through ALCA, we are part of a nationwide network of professionals who follow a code of ethics and standards of practice, as well as benefit from education and training, and mutual support.
