At Cadence Senior Living Consulting, we want to make it easier for families and their loved ones to make informed decisions when it comes to finding the best fit for independent living, assisted living, or memory care. If staying home is a safe option, we can help with in-home services.
We do all of the research and legwork in helping families navigate the complicated process of finding the right community that meets their needs and lifestyle. This is done at no cost to you.
Benefits of finding a new residence via Cadence Senior Living Consulting is no direct cost to you / the family (our fee is covered by senior living facilities). We do all the legwork, from researching places and reviewing their state certifications, to touring them with you. Each family is unique, so we take the time to sit down with you and pinpoint situational needs. This conversation is very detailed, covering everything from your loved ones’ daily care needs to long-term finances. Then we narrow down the options for independent living, assisted living, skilled care or memory care to two or three choices and set up a tour. We do all the legwork in this complicated process, researching reviews and ratings. We act as your advocate and do not just pass your name onto senior care facilities. After the move, we stay in touch for several months to make sure they are happy.

When you are going through Alzheimer’s with a loved one, every decision is hard to make. I was very fortunate to have found Catherine. She took me under her wing, asked me what I wanted, and put out the search for me. She took me to two different facilities for my husband and when I found the one I wanted I was very pleased. Not only did she help me with the decision, but she also came and helped me when I moved him in. She kept in touch with me through the whole ordeal, and afterwards.She was truly an angel sent from heaven, and I feel blessed that I met her. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs help.

I was very fortunate to find Catherine Cruikshank as I was struggling with what would be the most difficult life altering decision I’ve faced. How could I find the best treatment for my spouse who has reached a difficult stage in his fight with Alzheimer’s? Should I try to keep him home with private care or find a facility that could give him the care he needed? During my first get-acquainted meeting with Catherine, she confirmed my thoughts and helped me to get comfortable with the inevitable. She arranged interviews with various facilities and stayed with me during the presentations prompting me to notice aspects of the facilities that I would not have recognized. Once I made my choice, Catherine was there to assist me in completing the difficult task of getting ready to bring my spouse to his new home. She helped me select furniture, linens, and accessories that would make my spouse’s new home feel as warm and comfortable as it could be. Having managed memory care centers, Catherine knew what would be acceptable within the guidelines so I didn’t have to guess. Above and beyond the call of duty, she arrived at the facility the week of move-in to help me set up the room having laundered the new linens to make them soft and inviting. After my spouse was admitted to the facility, she was still by my side to offer words of wisdom for my adjustment and coordinate with the facility regarding my spouse’s first days.
Catherine’s extensive knowledge of the Dementia Arena was comforting and allowed me to accept the decision I was making for my spouse and me. Anyone struggling with this difficult and emotional task should seek out Catherine’s assistance in helping you to make the best decision for you. In the end you will be happy Catherine was your guide, a helping hand, and a friend!!

I had the pleasure of working with Catherine during the months of Oct-Nov 2024 trying to find a memory care facility for my mom. She was very interested in finding out all she could regarding my mother's life and her current struggles. We spent many hours discussing Mom and visiting some facilities that she thought would be a good fit for mom. It was a huge help for me during that emotional/overwhelming time to have the knowledge that Catherine has on the disease and to help me ask all the questions that I needed. It has only been two months, but I am very happy with the care and services at the facility I chose. She comes highly recommended by me.
