Support for Aging Parents

Steady, professional guidance as your parents' health needs grow

Watching a parent's health change is one of the hardest, most disorienting experiences a family goes through. I bring a nurse's clarity, a calm presence, and a plan — so the decisions ahead feel less lonely and more grounded.

The questions adult children most often bring to me

Is this normal aging, or something more? Are they safe at home? Are the specialists actually talking to each other? Are they on too many medications? Is it time for more support, and what kind? I help families answer these questions with information and confidence rather than guesswork.

Local familiarity, family-centered care

I know the major systems and many of the providers across Marin County and Petaluma. That local knowledge matters when you are choosing a specialist, navigating a hospital discharge, or trying to understand the realistic options after a change in function.

What I do for clients

  • Comprehensive nursing assessment of your parent's current picture
  • Coordinate primary care, specialists, and supportive services
  • Attend critical appointments and translate the discussion
  • Spot early warning signs of decline or medication issues
  • Facilitate clear, calm family conversations about next steps

Common Questions

Questions families often search for

Common triggers include a new diagnosis, a hospitalization, a noticeable change in memory or function, multiple specialists who are not communicating, or your own growing sense that no one is steering the ship. Earlier is almost always better.

Yes. I serve as the local, clinical point of contact for your parent in Marin County or Petaluma, while keeping you fully informed wherever you live. Long-distance families are a significant part of my practice.

Lead with the goal they care about — independence, staying in their home, staying sharp — and frame outside support as the thing that makes that goal more likely. I often join these conversations to keep them grounded and respectful.
