I'm so glad we found Abridge. Abbie seems to be an expert in everything we need. It's such a relief to have her help, especially since I don't live in the same town as Dad.

I am an Aging Senior

When some of the details of daily life are getting to be too much, but you want to remain in your home and maintain your independence, we can help.

​

 Your abridge care coordinator will connect you with the right services and coordinate the details so everyone, including your family members near or far, are on the same page.

Spousal Caregiver

When you are a family caregiver who needs to talk to someone who will listen but not judge, inform but not direct, and offer guidance tailored to your needs, call on us.

​

We always put you first, focusing on your goals to identify next steps. When care coordination is not required, abridge Caregiver Coaching may benefit you.  

TESTIMONIALS

“My father suffered from advanced dementia and my siblings and I were at a loss when forced to make quick, difficult decisions about his care. Abbie Vogt with Abridge Aging Life Care Management was recommended to us and she was a lifesaver! She is extremely knowledgeable about the issues of aging, the services available and the difficulties families may have navigating such emotional, critical decisions. She spent hours on the phone with various agencies, time that I didn't really have as I tried to deal with daily life with Dad. She sorted out all our options and listened to our opinions and concerns, allowing us to make informed decisions for him. The last few weeks of his life would have been traumatic and frustrating without having Abbie to coordinate with different services involved. We were able to experience quality time with Dad in his last days while she handled all the details. 

 

Dealing with aging parents can be difficult and overwhelming. Don't go it alone! Call Abbie. She is caring, compassionate and very knowledgeable about aging life management.”
