How to Find the Right Senior Living Option for Your Loved One
Episode 20
Tuesday, 30 September, 2025
In this episode of Lighting the Path, Jerry sits down with Shari Ross, a senior living specialist and author of Senior Living Made S.I.M.P.L.E.. Shari brings years of experience helping families navigate the difficult — and often emotional — decisions about finding the right living environment for their senior loved ones. Her book uses the acronym S.I.M.P.L.E. — Support, Information, Matching, Preparation, Letting go, Engagement — as a practical framework for families facing this transition. Shari shares how this approach provides clarity and confidence during one of the most stressful times in a caregiver’s journey. We discuss some of the most common challenges families face when searching for senior living options: Guilt when making housing decisions for a loved one. Panic when faced with an emergency or rushed move. Neglecting self-care while being a caregiver. Shari also talks about the relief families feel once their loved one is safe, cared for, and thriving in the right community. Beyond the book, she provides affordable tools and resources through her Etsy store, Senior Living Shop, to help families get organized and feel prepared. For more information, visit Shari’s website at seniorlivingmadesimple.com or order Senior Living Made S.I.M.P.L.E. online wherever books are sold. If you’re a caregiver or family member facing senior living decisions, this episode offers both practical strategies and much–needed encouragement.
