We Know Aging, Personally and Professionally
Silver To Gold’s CEO Esther Greenhouse is a longevity strategist with a strong educational background and professional expertise in aging issues. Esther also know the logistical, practical, emotional, and financial challenges of caregiving. For nearly 10 years she was her mom’s primary caregiver.
While Esther had the unique expertise to enable her mother to maintain as much of her physical and financial independence as possible, she was new to caregiving. In her role as a caregiver, Esther wished she had a guide, someone to take her by the hand to provide support, clear direction, and remove the overwhelm.
Like most of the 53 million family caregivers in the U.S., Esther struggled with the caregiving journey. She was part of the “sandwich generation” juggling providing care for her older mother while raising her son, running her consulting business, and teaching at a prestigious university.
The Enabling Design Approach helped Esther help her own mother and dramatically and positively shape the aging process. Her mother was enabled to live as independently as possible and delayed her move to a care facility by at least 7 years….which was due to the unpredictable timing of her needs.
Esther Greenhouse and her team combine professional expertise and personal experiences in aging and caregiving to make the aging process and caregiving journey easier, more enjoyable, and less financially stressful for you and your loved ones.
