About us
Silver Sherpa is a professional services company that delivers confidential planning, coordination, and project management services for older people and those with complex needs. We are a life transitions company that works with seniors and their families to maximize their quality of life. Whether clients are in crisis or simply being proactive in their planning, the company guides them through 3 interrelated steps - PLAN / NAVIGATE / CONNECT - to achieve peace of mind. The majority of working professionals in Canada are in the “sandwich generation”, providing care for both children and parents. Many report their personal caregiving situation is costing them in terms of absenteeism, stress and even workplace promotions. At an estimated cost of more than $2,000 per employee per year, the cost to business is in the billions. The number of seniors will almost double by 2030 to make up 25% of Canada’s population. One in three in that group will be 80 years of age or older, so the problem will only grow. It was once said “it takes a village to raise our children,” and we now see that the same applies to caring for our seniors. Overwhelmingly, seniors want to “age in place”, avoiding hospitals and long-term care facilities unless they are absolutely necessary. What’s needed is the support to do so. And that support is needed where seniors are already living. We can build intergenerational networks in our communities that work together to help seniors manage day-to-day needs, stay connected and live happier, more fulfilled lives. Silver Sherpa provides assurance and peace of mind to our “sandwich generation” as well as our seniors. With our trusted network of partners and growing community involvement, Silver Sherpa does more than care for parents well-being; we act as your co-pilot, helping you navigate the complex, overburdened system. They are your parents, and our priority. Join the conversation @SilverSherpa on Twitter and Facebook.

Money is not the primary concern of most people approaching retirement. Lifestyle and personal fulfilment are. You can reach beyond financial retirement planning and plan your life and lifestyle, too -- with a guide, an accountability partner, and a project manager. Silver Sherpa's Personalized Living Plan (TM) is designed as a roadmap for ageing and transitions that may occur during ageing. The PLP service provides a comprehensive assessment, action plan, and ongoing project management to execute your plan, starting with priority tasks. We are with you every step of the way. #SmartAgeing #PersonalizedLivingPlans
