Guided Toward the Right Community: The Hollander’s Client Story

Published On: September 25, 2026

At Silver Bridges Consulting, we take great pride in providing our clients and their loved ones with profound expertise, comprehensive market insight, and unwavering compassion as they navigate their senior living journey. Nothing is more rewarding than helping people find a community where they feel valued and can create meaningful memories while enjoying a healthy, flourishing lifestyle.

Every client experience brings unique challenges and different goals and perspectives, but one thing always remains true: our commitment to represent our clients’ and their loved ones’ best interests, and to form lifelong relationships with every family we work with.

Clients Lori and Bob Hollander kindly shared their experience working with our team. Read the Hollander’s story to learn why families choose Silver Bridges Consulting as “guiding lights in the strange new world of senior living.”

“Watching how our older family members made decisions about aging was a huge lesson for us. We knew it was up to us to foresee our future as best we could and intentionally plan our next chapter before it descended upon us.

With that in mind, we began having discussions and doing research to determine what would be best for us. It was a daunting task filled with anxiety as we were confronting decisions that most people don’t want to anticipate, especially when they are still relatively healthy and younger than 80.

Exploring all the options for senior living is rather overwhelming. The questions are endless.

Any decision came with a certain amount of risk. Whatever choice we made required signing a legal agreement and possibly investing a large amount of our lifetime savings, without a crystal ball foretelling our future.

Beyond the facts about each community, we wondered how we could assess their quality and stability? And most importantly for us: What is the feel of the community? Will we feel supported, and connected to the other people there?

For us this decision was a monumental and legacy-defining choice that would determine how we would live out our last chapter.

When we found Silver Bridges, we realized there were experts who helped people figure this out. Finding Kristy and Ginger helped us breathe! Their expertise and familiarity with all the different types of communities and contracts put us at ease and helped us understand subtle differences between the communities.

After their interview and assessment of our needs and wants, they were able to recommend the CCRC’s that would be best for us. Kristy set up all the appointments with the salespeople and went with us for the interviews.

Kristy and Ginger helped us process the pros and cons of each community and supported us making an informed decision based upon our deepest needs and desires.

As relationship therapists for 30+ years they knew it was vital for us to find a community where we would feel connected. Silver Bridges services were invaluable. Without their mentorship, I’m not sure we would have made the best decision. Kristy and Ginger were our guiding lights in this strange new world of senior living.

We are now looking forward to our next chapter, with confidence that we will be in the best place for us.”

– Lori and Bob Hollander
