Solo Senior™ Program

According to a 2016 study, 22% of adults are expected to become Solo Seniors™

A Solo Senior™ is an older adult who finds themself approaching their senior years without a family member to serve as a caregiver and healthcare advocate. These seniors may be single, child-free, or simply have no close family relationships for a variety of reasons. It is also a common situation among members of the LGBTQIA community.

Because of these circumstances, Solo Seniors™ need a different kind of guidance when it comes to making care decisions. Having a care manager through the Solo Senior™ Program enables someone without the “typical” family support system to tap into a team of professionals with diverse skill sets who can help them in nearly any situation.

Caregiving Corner has been a huge lifesaver for me. My brother Jim has been in their care for over a year and is receiving the warmest, kindest loving care. Their support and understanding helped us through a very dark time. Such a blessing when we needed it the most. Jennifer Szakaly is an incredible leader and an expert in her field. She is surrounded by a wonderful team. Ashlyn Hyde has been with Jim since early days and has provided excellent care through hospital visits, facility moves and day-to-day comfort. She has proven her abilities to charm clients, as well as attend to difficult details. Susan Ferone played a huge part in Jim’s care when he attended The Ivey. Deborah Agnone joined TeamJim and immediately showered Jim with lively companionship and Starbucks treats! I I live out of town from Jim and Caregiving Corner has gifted me with fantastic communication on a consistent basis. They have always taken my feelings and opinions to heart and have blessed me with peace-of-mind. I highly recommend this team!

Caregiving Corner's leadership is mission-driven. The firm's approach to care management benefits from longstanding experience, deep and broad relationships across greater Charlotte, and a proactive and forward-thinking mindset. The Aging Life Care Managers are as experienced and qualified as they are understanding and compassionate. The world of senior care can be so complicated – Caregiving Corner demystifies it with independent, objective advice you can trust. Strongly recommend them for any families navigating care for aging loved ones.

Jennifer has been such a wonderful resource for me and my aging parents. My dad was sick all of a sudden, and she was able to meet with me as soon as I reached out. She was able to answer all of my questions and advise the next steps to take, as well as products to buy to make his release from hospital to home easier. I would highly recommend Caregiving Corner.

Not only have they provided excellent physical care, but they have also offered emotional support and reassurance to my family during a challenging time..I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and the genuine desire to want the best for our mom. They have created a safe and nurturing environment that is allowing her to live the best life she can.

Caregiving Corner especially Ashlyn Hyde took excellent care of my mother for over 12 months. Ashlyn visited with mom once a week or whenever a need came up. My mother suffered from memory issues and mobility issues. Ashlyn and Caregiving Corner were always available to assist in additional care, doctor/hospital visits. When she was unable to live alone, Caregiving Corners were able to coordinate her move and downsize. There contacts made the relocation from Independent living to Assisted Living and then Memory care effortless, from my perspective. I live in California and mom was in Charlotte, Caregiving Corner served as an advocate for mom, always looking out for what was best for her and her condition. Finally when it came time for Hospice to enter, Ashlyn was able to recognize the need and recommend to me. I was probably in denial but trusted Ashlyn and feel mom's final days were much more comfortable and less confusing thanks to her efforts. I will always owe a debt of gratitude to Ashlyn for what she was able to provide for mom! Thanks again

I'm writing to recommend Care Giving Corner for the best elder care management services I have come across. We were introduced to them for help with our parents' care by the Rev. Lisa Saunders at Christ Episcopal Church in Charlotte, who had known our family for 20 or 30 years. We had worked with a couple of the big national elder-care chains before, but their people seem so limited and their standard of care seemed very "average" at best.We work with Susan Ferone as our case worker/manager and Allyson Cooksy as our RN. They are conscientious, high-caliber, top-flight people. They're the kind of people we'd want to entertain with and be friends with, not just tolerate as hired help.They recently helped my parents identify and move to a retirement community that is a vast improvement over the retirement facility they had been in before. They connected us with services that helped with organizing, packing, moving, unpacking, setting up, and settling in. They even helped my mother find a decorator to help with some fabric choices and paint schemes to suit her new digs. That alone is half the battle - knowing who are the reliable, trustworthy service providers for various ancillary services.Allyson has helped my parents manage medical appointments, keep track of treatments and prescriptions, and devise daily structure that keeps things on track. She has helped identify and get services from therapists, etc. Allyson is amazing and a delight to be around.We live in a time when even those of us who are well-established and well-connected in our communities can feel bewildered by the experience of aging and everything that goes with it. Susan, Allyson, and their colleagues comprise an able and caring resource in an otherwise confusing and dysfunctional elder-care environment.

I cannot recommend her highly enough and I refer clients the Charlotte area to her very regularly. For any client in need of Aging Life Care Management or a Guardian, Jennifer and Caregiving Corner is the superior choice.

Caregiving Corner is an amazing resource for anyone who is navigating the experience of aging or caring for an aging family member. Jennifer and her team offer such a broad range of services - from helping families choose care facilities and make healthcare decisions to serving as a legal guardian for those who don't have family members (or whose family members are too unreliable). Their collective experience is invaluable, and most importantly, they have a genuine passion for working with older adults and their caregivers, and it shows. I enthusiastically recommend Caregiving Corner to everyone I know who is dealing with the often-challenging situation of caring for an aging loved one.
