Why start a senior concierge business

I'm Sherrie Nelson, an expert in reducing chaos and process simplification.

First, I spent more than a decade in non profit work specializing in adult education, particularly language acquisition.

Then, I spent more than a decade in corporate work walking into chaos, recognizing patterns, and developing and implementing systems and processes for simplification. 

Now, I've channelled my skills into a concierge company catering to older adults who want to, or need to, hand-off some work to others as they continue to live life to the fullest in the home of their choosing. My passion for adult learning helps older adults learn something new, technology-related or otherwise, and build muscle memory around the skill. My love of historical documentation and memoirs allows me to capture a client's story in the way they want it told.

​My concierge services are inspired by challenges faced while helping 92 year old Grandma Babs remain fully independent in her home three and a half hours away. While she orders groceries online, asks Alexa for the weather report, connects to a weekly YouTube yoga practice, drives to and from Arizona most years, and continues to travel internationally, each passing year Grandma Babs needs a little extra help. When I visit, I help troubleshoot technology, meal prep, and run errands. I may accompany her in driving to or from Arizona. I research hotels, airbnbs, and flights. I research vendors, products, or options she may need to support maintenance on or in her home. ​​​​

I understand the difficulties faced when aging at home with minimal health issues. I also understand the challenges involved in not able to be present as often as I'd like to support my loved one in the process. Simply Golden Solutions is here to close that gap.
