    About LuAnn

    I have been a senior living advisor for 5 years. I am also a trained end of life doula. I am passionate about helping seniors and their families find great senior living options. I have worked extensively with assisted living and memory care communities in the greater Charlotte area. If you are just starting the journey, or if you are in a crisis situation, I can help you navigate the process. My primary role is to educate you on the process so that you make a well-informed decision. My services are free and my guidance is invaluable.

    How Mirador works

    Finding the right senior living community is a lot to take on alone. Working with us is meant to make it less overwhelming — here’s how it usually goes:

    1. 1

      The "Life and Care" Assessment

      It starts with a conversation about your lifestyle preferences, budget, and care needs — including the small things families don’t think to mention (one family realized their mother had recently developed a taste for sardines!). It’s also your chance to ask whatever you want about senior living in general.

    2. 2

      A Shortlist Worth Touring

      We know the communities in your area and can narrow the local options down to a handful worth your time. Quite honestly, much of the value is in what gets ruled out.

    3. 3

      Knowing What to Look For

      From that conversation comes a checklist of the needs and preferences that came up, so you know what to ask about on a tour and can check the boxes off as you go — instead of realizing on the drive home what you forgot to bring up.

    4. 4

      The Visits

      We can help line up the tours, and where our schedule allows, come along — a second set of eyes if something seems off, and someone to ask the questions that are easy to forget when you’re standing in the lobby.

    5. 5

      The Debrief

      While the visits are still fresh, you’ll talk through what you saw: Did they check your boxes? Which one had the kindest care staff? Then you get the space to make your own decision.

    6. 6

      The Paperwork

      The contract is the step that matters most. We can walk you through what’s included in the base rate and what gets billed as an add-on (like “medication management”), and point you toward funding options worth looking into — Veteran’s Aid, long-term care benefits — before you sign anything.

    7. 7

      Move-In Day

      Once you’ve chosen, we can help make sure the community has what it needs to welcome your loved one properly, so day one feels less like a move and more like a homecoming.

    8. 8

      The Follow-up

      We’ll check in after the move to hear how it’s going. (And to be honest, this is also for our own benefit — it’s one of the best ways we stay on top of which communities are the best in the area.)
