The aging population in America is growing rapidly – over 11,000 people turn 65 daily – yet many seniors and their families find themselves unprepared for the challenges of housing transitions and aging well. Jane Lomas, founder of Cherokee Rose Senior Living Solutions and certified senior home coach, who joins Wanda Pearson on Ready Set Collaborate to share her compassionate approach to guiding seniors through life changes.
Jane's journey into senior advocacy stems from deeply personal experiences with her own mother. This background fuels her passion for creating safe, supportive environments where older adults can thrive, not just survive. Throughout the conversation, she unpacks the concept of "aging in the right place" – acknowledging that while 90% of seniors wish to remain in their homes, those homes aren't always the safest or most appropriate option.
The discussion delves into practical strategies for adult children navigating difficult conversations with aging parents. Rather than approaching these discussions with criticism or demands, Jane advocates starting with curiosity, allowing seniors to participate fully in decisions affecting their lives. Her comprehensive approach includes home safety audits that identify potential hazards like poor lighting, tripping risks, and accessibility challenges before they lead to dangerous falls – which account for a staggering percentage of senior hospitalizations and deaths.
Perhaps most valuable is Jane's emphasis on preparation and documentation. From essential legal papers to the innovative "File of Life" that provides emergency responders with critical information, she outlines concrete steps families can take to minimize chaos during health crises. Her collaborative network of occupational therapists, senior move managers, and financial specialists ensures no aspect of senior well-being is overlooked.

If there’s one thing I want families to know, it’s that you don’t have to figure this out alone. I’m a Senior Home Coach because I’ve been in your shoes—and I know how overwhelming it can feel. Whether it's making the home safer, organizing important documents, or deciding if it’s time for a move, I’m here to guide you with compassion, clarity, and a real plan.

My goal is simple: to help aging adults live safely, happily, and with dignity—wherever they call home.
