				What Do You Think Makes You Stand Out as A Senior Living Advisor at Visavie?
				What sets me apart is my compassionate commitment to help aging adults feel safe, heard, and supported especially in times of uncertainty while navigating life transitions. As a Social Worker, my strength lies in building relationships based on respect, trust, and reliability. I have supported, advocated, and guided patients and families through complex emotional and health-related decisions with a sense of warmth and calmness. I have worked in an acute care hospital setting for many years and understand how to navigate the healthcare system, especially in times of crisis. I have worked closely and collaboratively with community partners to ensure that our seniors’ safety is a priority, while coordinating home care supports to meet their level of care in the community.  The process to find the right living environment can be overwhelming, therefore my goal is to meet with you, listen intently to understand the diverse social, emotional, and physical needs to facilitate connection to a supportive environment that is tailored and best suited for you. 
			 
				
				
				
				
				In My View, The Qualities of An Exceptional Senior Living Advisor Are…
				An exceptional Senior Living Advisor is someone who leads with compassion, patience, and confidence. It is the ability to build meaningful connections with those we serve and our community partners. It is understanding that this is a deeply personal and meaningful decision to move to a supportive living environment which comes with many mixed emotions. A great advisor actively listens to learn more about the person they are
supporting, to gain understanding of their level of care, what brings them joy, and to appreciate their needs. With clear and honest guidance, an advisor connects clients and families in a timely manner to the most appropriate living environments and advocates for their well-being. An ideal Senior Living Advisor is committed to help all involved in the transition, feel empowered, informed, and confident in their decision.
			 
				
				
				
				
				Visavie, To Me, Is…
				For me, Visavie is a trusted partner in a time when older adults and their families are looking for guidance, insight, and support. Visavie is not only a retirement home referral service, it is a personalized process in which the Senior Living Advisor listens, collaborates, and embarks on the journey with the client and their family to help make informed decisions.  Visavie ensures that people are seen, supported, and where solutions are tailored to make the decision to move to supportive living a little less overwhelming. 
			 
				
				
				
				
				The Secret to My Success Is…
				The secret to my success is to be consistent, dependable, and caring, to always do more than what is expected of me in hopes of having a meaningful impact. Working with older adults requires the ability to connect, show respect, and truly listen to understand their needs. Success comes from being reliable, building trust through action, and treating everyone with the dignity they deserve. As a Social Worker I am an advocate with an unwavering dedication to provide compassionate senior care.
