Coaching

Michelle Seitzer launched Caregiving Advice in January 2019 after two decades of working with caregiving families from senior living communities, advocating for family caregivers through a policy position with the Alzheimer’s Association, helping her own family navigate stroke & dementia caregiving for her grandparents, writing thousands of articles about caregiving, and becoming the parent of a special needs child with complex medical issues. Through these life and work experiences, she’s found that what families and individuals need most — regardless of their age or stage of caregiving — is quite universal: They need advice. They need resources. They need help. They need hope. And they need it from someone who understands caregiving from all angles. Seitzer seeks to help professionals and families better understand the impact of caregiving and find a starting point through compassionate support and practical advice. 

 

With over ten years working as a social worker in the long-term care environment in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Bobbi Jo Curty’s knowledge continues to develop as she assists families navigating their loved ones through the process. She’s learned to become a resource, an advocate, a shoulder to cry on, and at times, a bearer of bad news. Curty has experience in all levels of retirement community living as well as professional relationships in home care, hospice care, rehabilitation therapy, and mental health care. As she’s co-facilitated an Alzheimer’s Association memory loss support group, she has seen the feelings of exhaustion, uncertainty, and guilt that many caregivers experience. Her hope is to meet you where your needs are and allow you time to process your thoughts so you can move forward with greater expectancy and understanding how to face the days ahead.
