“My clients said they were very happy with your
services and spoke very highly. Sometimes folks
don’t understand that to get high quality service
may cost a little, but not having the service can
cost way more. Sounds cliché but it is a
real matter.”
Attorney, Allen M
“When my father was dying, Rebecca handled
his massive insurance problems, allowing me to
be present with him and my mother in his last
days. Not having to be on the phone was a
godsend to me.”
Daughter, Nancy A
“I am the out-of-state guardian of a loved
one. Rebecca provides professional and caring
services and is my local eyes and ears, giving him
attention and access to services to improve his
quality of life. I recommend The Aging Space
to anyone who is looking for guidance and
expertise in caring for their loved ones.”

Why call The Aging Space? To reduce stress and worry - to restore peace of mindYou call because your aging family member’s lifestyle is no longer working and none of you know the right
questions to ask and how to solve the problems. Adult children call when their parents’ health conditions,
memory problems, or who live far away make them worry. Aging adults, especially someone who is alone,
call us because they are worried about losing independence, dignity, friends and their connections in the
community. Who would call The Aging Space?
Family members, aging adults, doctors, lawyers,
trust officers, guardians, counselors, and others.
What we provideWe provide a problem-solver and a researcher with
extensive local networks and life experience. We
assess, advocate, advise and oversee all aspects
of the aging adult’s life – with an eye towards
improving it. We bring an understanding of the
physical, emotional and mental complexities of
aging and we help to solve problems to achieve
the client’s maximal functional potential. We are
paid privately, often by the adult children of the
client. One son said: “The cost of the problem was
far more expensive and consequential than the
cost of the solution.”
