Community Resource Consultant
Carolyn Osuyos, an Elderwerks Community Resource Consultant, believes elder care guidance found her after personally assisting five parents/relatives as they transitioned from homes to supportive living. Carolyn initially found the process to be overwhelming and discouraging because she lives in the Chicago area and her family in California. Through time, travel, research, and a strong commitment, Carolyn began to understand how to sort the help of experts and understand how to navigate an abundance of decisions. This personal experience and a conviction to help others will get answers to:
· How can I sort options when a parent/elder can’t live alone anymore?
· How can I find the most appropriate services or senior residence?
· How can I understand the steps needed to manage the task of moving?
· How can I ensure the quality of care?
Carolyn realizes the importance of providing and sorting options for other families in this difficult time providing order to the volume of information and clear understanding to confusing elements. Her dedication to each individual situation provides a valued resource to those working with Elderwerks. Carolyn, like Elderwerks, embraces ALL families, regardless of financial means.
Carolyn has lived in Long Grove for the past 22 years where she and her husband, John, raised two boys who reside near universities in Missouri and Ohio.
