Everyone on the same page, finally
Loramae guides family meetings about aging parents. We bring a calm, neutral voice to the table, help everyone share what matters and leave you with a written plan the whole family agrees on.
Every family has a planner, a worrier and someone who says "Dad's fine." That's normal. A good conversation with a neutral guide helps everyone get heard and move forward together.
When families call us
- Siblings see the situation differently and keep going in circles
- One person is doing most of the work and needs backup
- Family lives in different states and conversations happen in pieces
- Your parents want a say, and you want to make sure they get one
- You want to plan ahead before a big decision is on the table
How a family meeting works
- Short one-on-one calls first. We talk with key family members separately, so everyone can speak freely.
- The family meeting. In person around Lyndon or by video from anywhere. We set the agenda, keep it positive and focus on the parents' wishes.
- A written plan. Decisions, next steps and who's doing what, shared with everyone afterward.
- Follow-up. A check-in to keep things moving, and more help whenever you need it.
What we cover
- What your parents want their days to look like
- Staying home, downsizing or exploring senior living
- Who handles what, and how to share the load fairly
- How to stay in touch and make decisions going forward
- Practical budget questions, at a planning level
We keep the conversation practical and kind. For legal, tax or financial planning questions, we'll point you to the right professional.
Common questions
What if my parents don't want to talk about it? That's common. We often start with what they love about their life now, which opens the door to planning for keeping it.
Do you take sides? No. Our job is to help the family find a plan centered on your parents, not to decide who's right.
