Authorized Senior Living Advisor

A proverb that describes me...

"A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees." – Amelia Earhart

What sets me apart as an Authorized Senior Living Advisor...

Is two-fold, first is my experiences working in retirement homes - I have over 10 years in the GTA as a General Manager/Executive Director at homes with different companies. Having spent most of my career in hospitality, I bring excellent customer service to every interaction. Secondly, I have a genuine need to help others in which my integrity is always my guide.

The ideal Senior Living Advisor, in my opinion...

A sector professional who has the capacity to listen with compassion, gathers a deep understanding of the seniors' care needs but also what the individual needs to thrive and enjoy life in a retirement home setting. An investigator who leaves no stone unturned to locate the perfect home while ensuring the senior and family understand the process and guides them to reduce anxiety and stays involved until after move in and orientation.

For me, Visavie is...

A lifeline for seniors and families to navigate a difficult and emotional process, with almost 40 years of success. For me, it marries my passion for seniors and my need to help others!

My simple 4-step approach

I listen

I take the time to understand your loved one’s situation and your priorities: level of independence, care needs, budget, location, timeline, and lifestyle preferences.

I find options

I identify residences that truly meet your criteria and those of your loved one, and then I present you with a tailored selection along with key information so you can easily compare them.

I join you on your visit

I coordinate visits with care facilities and help you ask the right questions, verify the services offered, and assess whether the facility is a good fit for your loved one.

I support the move.


I’ll be available until the final decision is made and throughout the transition process to help facilitate the next steps and provide follow-up support as needed after you move in.

At Visavie, we take the sense of urgency seriously.

As soon as I receive the first call, I’ll be right there with the senior and their family to begin the search for the perfect new living environment!
