Transitioning to Senior Care?
Let Family Shepherd
Help
We help families transition to care communities seamlessly, from buying the house to finding the resources your loved one needs. Family Shepherd has you covered.
If you are preparing to transition a loved one from their home to a care community, Family Shepherd is here to help. Our dedicated team of experts focuses on providing assistance and guidance to seniors and their families in the Kansas City area, with the aim to alleviate stress.
We know that the house is often the family’s largest asset and we are here to help free up that equity in the house quickly. We work with families to buy the house and share all our trusted local senior living resources to make the transition easier. Know that we are here to guide, protect, and serve your family. Best of all, we don’t charge any fees for our services.
Transitioning a loved one to a care community is an overwhelming journey. It’s a path many families tread with uncertainty, unsure of where to begin. Questions like “How can we afford the care Mom deserves?” often weigh heavily. With each passing day, the health and well-being of Mom grows more concerning. The sooner you can afford to get her transferred, the safer she will be.
This is where Family Shepherd comes in. For us, foundationally, it starts with the house. The house is generally the largest asset and resource for affording long-term care. We assist seniors, and their families, by buying the homes, freeing up immediate funding for the next stage of care.
But it doesn’t stop there.
At Family Shepherd, we understand the challenges of transitioning to a senior care facility. That's why we offer a range of resources to ease the process, from financial planning to placement services. Let us help you navigate this important transition with care and compassion.
You are completely and totally overwhelmed with all the decisions you have to make. Where do you begin? Family Shepherd is here to guide you through this very challenging time. Our team will be here for you from start to finish.
While we do not personally offer services like moving, downsizing, legal advice, hospice care, placement assistance, or financial planning, we have a network of resource partners we trust to help your family. Family Shepherd has long-standing relationships with local professionals and business owners who are ready and willing to assist.
We help with the transition to long-term care by surrounding families with these resources. Trusted local professionals, who we know and have personally vetted, to provide all of the support you need, when you need it! Your well-being and satisfaction matters to us. We’ll take care of you and your family’s needs as if they were our own. Know that you are not alone.
Getting to know the needs of the seniors and the families we work with is one of the key first steps in doing what we do. Our goal is to help you achieve your goals.
To do so, Family Shepherd likes to go beyond the online form. That’s why we will always arrange to meet and discuss your needs in a place that’s comfortable and convenient for you.
Thanks to our extensive experience in senior care, and over 20 years in real estate, we know what questions to anticipate and can walk you through the assessment with ease.
