The phone rings at work, and you learn from your brother that mom is at the hospital again. Thankfully, she has avoided breaking anything from this recent fall, but she needs therapy. After a few weeks, the social worker at her rehab informs you that her doctor is recommending assisted living instead of going home. You have less than a week to find, choose, and move your mother before she is discharged.
You start by calling the community that the rehab recommends, but no one calls you back. You drive across town to tour a facility that a friend at church suggests, only to find that they are above your budget. Another 2 hours wasted, and the clock is ticking. Your brother looked online and has a “list” of places to go tour. The first place you go has no availability; the second assisted living is nice but can’t manage your mother’s insulin. Your phone is now ringing off the hook from sales people! How did they get your cell number? You are feeling overwhelmed, the social worker just left you a message asking for a decision, and you panic as you realize that you forgot to pick your daughter up after school!
With all the decisions that you have made in your lifetime – choosing a college, job opportunities, buying a house, nothing has prepared you for finding care for a parent. You feel completely alone, BUT you are not.

Your local senior care advisor for Greater Nashville is Amy Davis. Amy grew up at the base of Pikes Peak in Colorado. After meeting her husband during Freshman year at the University of Arizona, together they raised their two children in a quaint suburb of Chicago. Amy and her husband have opened their home to many vulnerable children through the Safe Families for Children ministry. Amy worked in Pastoral Care for her church for several years and then worked in the hospital setting alongside families who were facing the tragic loss of a loved one helping to coordinate their life saving gifts as organ donors. Her passion to serve others is where she feels God has called her to be. It is truly her honor to work with families who are facing difficult seasons and help them on that journey to find hope. Now residing in the Nashville area, Amy is delighted to partner with Senior Provisions as an advisor to families who are seeking a trusted advocate during a transitional time in their lives. Don’t go it alone, you don’t need to.
