How we can help

Where Are You in the Senior Care Journey?

Aging at Home

Your loved one wants to remain at home but may need additional support. We help families identify needs and connect with trusted care providers, home services and other resources.

Finding Senior Living

When care needs change, we help families explore independent living, assisted living, memory care and residential care home options based on their needs and preferences.

Managing the Move

Once a move is planned, we can help coordinate resources for moving, downsizing, estate sales and home clean-out—reducing the burden on the family.

Handling the Home

When the family home is part of the transition, we can help explore options for preparing, selling or otherwise addressing the property and its contents.

WHO WE ARE

A Trusted Guide When Senior Care Needs Change

Senior transitions rarely involve just one decision. A family may begin by looking for ways to help a loved one remain at home, then face changing care needs, a hospital or rehabilitation discharge, a move to senior living, or decisions about the family home.

BridgeCare Senior Transitions helps families navigate these changes with one trusted point of contact. We help identify needs, explain options, connect families with appropriate resources, and coordinate the next steps—from aging at home and senior living to moving, downsizing and the home itself.

Founded by Shannon Wilcken, a healthcare leader with more than 25 years of healthcare experience and a certified Senior Transition Specialist (STS), BridgeCare combines healthcare knowledge, compassionate guidance and practical transition support to help families make informed decisions with greater confidence.

Common Questions

Can BridgeCare help if my parent wants to stay at home?

Yes. BridgeCare helps families explore ways a senior may be able to remain at home with appropriate support. A Senior Transition Specialist can help identify concerns, explain available resources, and connect families with outside providers for practical assistance. If circumstances change, BridgeCare can also help your family explore senior living options and plan for the next transition.

What if our family needs help with more than finding senior living?

BridgeCare can help with several parts of a senior transition, not just finding a living community. Guidance may include exploring support at home, comparing senior living options, identifying moving and downsizing resources, and discussing decisions about the family home. A Senior Transition Specialist helps your family understand which steps matter now and which resources may be useful as circumstances change. We can also connect you with our trusted network of estate planning, trust, and elder care attorneys, as well as financial planners who can help with financial planning matters.
