Shari brings years of experience helping families navigate the difficult \u2014 and often emotional \u2014 decisions about finding the right living environment for their senior loved ones. Her book uses the acronym S.I.M.P.L.E. \u2014 Support, Information, Matching, Preparation, Letting go, Engagement \u2014 as a practical framework for families facing this transition.
