I am a Senior Care Planning Specialist who helps you navigate community care supports and retirement home living options. Ensuring you or your loved one finds the right fit.

In an era where the wait times for getting into Long Term Care are years away it is more important now than ever to find the best care solutions from the start.

With several years experience helping seniors and their families navigate community care resources and retirement home options, I am confident that I can ensure that you or your loved one can age in place longer reducing the stress and urgency for Long Term Care. 

Hi, I’m Kelly

I am a Registered Practical Nurse, Holistic Nurse Coach, Founder of Elevate Wellness and Your Senior Care Planning Specialist with over a decade of experience supporting seniors and their families.

With over 10 years of nursing experience, including 7 years focused directly on community care and retirement home support, I’ve guided countless families through some of the most important and overwhelming decisions they’ll ever make.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Ontario Health at Home (formerly the LHIN) and one of the largest home care providers in Ontario, where I gained a deep, hands-on understanding of how services function both in private homes and within retirement communities. I’ve seen the stark differences many families aren’t aware of—differences that can greatly affect a senior’s quality of life, safety, and financial stability.
Far too often, families make rushed or uninformed choices about retirement living or home care—only to find the supports aren’t adequate. I’ve witnessed the emotional and financial toll it takes when a loved one is placed in a setting that can’t meet their long-term needs, or worse, when they’re stuck on a waitlist for long-term care with no clear support in the meantime.
That’s why I created Elevate Wellness. My mission is to bridge the gap between traditional healthcare, community supports, and retirement options—giving families clarity and confidence when navigating aging transitions. Whether you’re supporting aging parents, caregiving for a loved one, or planning ahead, I’m here to help you understand your options, ask the right questions, and make informed choices that serve you now and well into the future.
Because when you’re informed, you’re empowered—and that’s when real peace of mind begins.

Where you end up depends on what you know and how you plan.

Here Is Why You Should Work With Me…

I offer something most professionals in this space don’t: a rare combination of frontline nursing experience, deep knowledge of Ontario’s care systems, and compassionate, personalized guidance.

Understanding Your Needs

As a Nurse I understand disease progression and can pre-plan for what care challenges may lay ahead. This allows me to tailor questions directly related to your projected care needs.

Insider Knowledge

I have experience and knowledge of Ontario Health at Home (OHatH) and retirement home systems — I know how they work, what they offer, and where the gaps are.

 

Personalized Support

I don’t push one-size-fits-all answers. The goal is to empower clients with real options and honest guidance.
