Do You Know Someone In this Situation...Homeless...?

The senior lived many years in the same apartment building; then it was sold. The previous landlord had not given a formal lease after the first year. Thus, the senior had no current lease protection. The new landlord presented a lease at a much higher rate. He allowed new people to move into the building. Shortly thereafter the senior found bugs in the apartment. The newspaper ads were no help, and her income was too high to qualify for certain senior apartments. The new landlord wouldn’t let her stay until there was an opening at other senior facilities. 
 
The senior consulted with me and described the situation. I asked a few questions. The answers revealed some options that had been considered. I recommended exploring new geographic areas for an apartment and contact local community resources.  I recommended that she tell people about her extensive volunteer experience. The senior was pleased to realize this was not a dead end.
 
Consultations involve all manner of questions. Any question is worthy of a consultation. Sometimes issues can be resolved in less than an hour.  More involved situations take more time. Still others require an assessment before making recommendations. 
 
What people really want is a roadmap to an answer; not my answer. The answer the client  and I find will be the one that suits them best. Your phone has a GPS app; why not get a GPS on your senior care situation?  Contact Senior Sidekicks.
