Take the right next step with confidence

Senior transition planning for families who'd rather plan ahead than scramble later. Staying home, downsizing or exploring senior living, we help you and your parents choose with clarity.

The best time to plan for your parents' next chapter is while everyone has time to think. Loramae gives your family one experienced guide and one clear, written plan, so the next step feels steady and sure instead of rushed.

One Team. One Plan. Every Option Covered. 

Family Decision Support

Get everyone on the same page, even from three states away. We guide the family conversation, sort out priorities and leave you with a shared plan that everyone can stand behind.

Aging In Place Planning

Love the house? Let's keep it working for them. We review the home, line up practical updates and coordinate the everyday help that makes staying put safe, easy and enjoyable.

Community Discovery

Find a place that feels like them. We narrow the options to communities that fit their personality, care needs and budget, tour alongside you and ask the questions most families don't know to ask. We never take commissions from communities.

Thoughful Downsizing

Less stuff, more life. We help your parents sort, keep what matters most and move into a home that fits the way they live now, with every step of the move and the house sale coordinated by one trusted team.

How It Works

  1. Book a free call. Tell us what's going on. No pressure, just a good conversation.
  2. Get your Next Step Plan. One focused session turns into a written 30/60/90-day roadmap you can share with the whole family.
  3. Move forward your way. Take the plan and run with it, or let us coordinate the details.

Why families choose Loramae

  • We know senior living from the inside. Years leading independent living, assisted living and memory care communities taught us what great looks like, and what the brochure leaves out.
  • We know how to make home work, too. As home and community-based services experts, we know the local programs, providers and supports that help people stay home longer.
  • We show you every option. Our background in long-term care options counseling means families see all their choices, including ones most people never hear about.
  • We work for your family. No commissions from senior living communities, ever. Just honest advice and one clear plan.

"If you're the one in your family who notices things, makes the calls and wonders what's next, we see you. You don't have to figure this out alone, and you don't have to wait for a crisis to start."

The Loramae Team

Ready to take the right next step?

Some families plan years ahead. Others start after a fall or a hospital stay. Wherever you're starting, we'll look at every option together and make a plan for the right next step.

Common questions about transitions

Here are answers to the most frequent inquiries we receive from older adults and their families as they explore their transition choices.

Does a fall mean Mom has to move to assisted living?

Not automatically. A fall is a signal to look closer: what caused it, what's changed at home and what support would help. Many families add help at home, make a few updates or plan a move on their own timeline. We'll help you sort out what's truly needed.

How do I talk to my parents about the future without it turning into an argument?

Start with what they love about their life now, not what worries you. Ask questions instead of making suggestions, and take one topic at a time. Some families find it easier with a neutral guide at the table, which is part of what we do.

My parents say they're fine. Is it too early to plan?

Planning isn't a sign that something's wrong. It's how families keep things going well. The best plans are made while everyone is healthy, relaxed and has time to explore. That's when your parents have the most choices.

Does Medicare pay for assisted living?

Unfortunately the answer is no. Medicare doesn't cover the monthly cost of assisted living. Depending on the situation, families may use savings, the sale of a home, long-term care insurance or veterans benefits. Kansas's Medicaid program, KanCare, may help eligible people with some care costs. We'll help you understand the options and point you to the right people for financial advice.

Will you tell us if we don't need your help?

Yes. Sometimes the best answer is "you're doing great, here's what to keep an eye on." Because families pay us directly, our only goal is giving you honest advice.

What if my siblings and I don't agree?

That's more common than you'd think. We guide family conversations, help everyone get heard and focus the discussion on what your parents want. You'll leave with a written plan everyone can see.
