Vacca Associates Family Checks 'n Balances A Bit of My Story......and Why I Do What I Do

I am a people person....love people....of all ages!! An interesting combination, and one I have loved. Why?

Vacca Associates Family Checks n’ Balances is your personal concierge... budgeting/bill pay, transport/coordination of medical/dental appointments, housing moves, garage/estate sales, being an advocate - whatever daily life involves! So, it came as no surprise when I found myself working with both teenagers and older adults! They are so much alike in my mind....exploring, interesting, testing the

patience of many, challenging preconceived ideas, great adapters, unpredictable and incredibly loving and caring. My career path took me into aging and healthcare...and youth ministry! In aging and healthcare, I have spent decades working directly with older adults and their families, designing new programs for an aging population, training healthcare and social service professionals on aging issues, leading retirement planning seminars, and advocating on legislation impacting older adults. I also became involved in the financial services industry as a licensed insurance agent and securities licensed advisor (my securities license I have let go of so I can do my current work). In youth ministry, I have worked with hundreds of teens, young adults and their families, teaching and training, mentoring, supporting and housing, and putting my counseling training to good use. Through all of my experiences, I have realized that I like solving problems, being an advocate and mediator, and dealing with whatever need to be done. To help make life a bit easier, less confusing and complicated, relieving the stress of being overwhelmed so many family caregivers experience and letting family be "family" and not having to be the 'pro' in the many aspects of aging-related issues and concerns. I often tell people, .."I am just a 'life manager. Whatever life throws at you, I can help manage and I can walk the journey with you to help in anyway I can." So, my work is all about....YOU!! I am here to make your life run easier and smoother....from getting the things done that need doing each day to planning ahead for the unknown future. And, I have a number of trusted colleagues I work with to ensure that you get the right input, insight and understanding so you can make the best informed decisions for you and your loved ones.

Oh my, it has been soo very long since I have posted on my V***a Associates page! Life has thrown some punches, but I have maintained my work for my older clients and their families. That's good news!!

Here's some more good news!! I have relaunched my website, www.vaccaassociates.com, with a whole new look. Let me know what you think (leave a comment below).

I also have a new offer, which you can read about on my website. Briefly, due to many requests for assistance from across the US, I have decided to provide up to 2 hours of consultation for a low flat fee (and, if you know me at all, you know you will get more than that, as I am here to help support you and provide solutions!).

And, I am going to start a podcast! I'm so excited! So many colleagues have encouraged me to do so but I have been hesitant (don't ask me why).

I have refreshed my YouTube channel () and have it ready to upload my podcast there.

I plan to do a number of interviews (so you don't have to listen to me yacking the whole time...lol) of professionals in the field of aging and elder care services. Many are fellow colleagues I have worked with over the years that are the best of the best in their specific area of support and care.

I am excited to be in touch with everyone again.

Let me know if I can help you by leaving me a quick note in the comments.

Talk with you soon!!

Today, let's remember that freedom isn't free, that God has blessed this country with an attitude to serve and protect, and we have many hundreds of thousands to thank on this day.

As my brother-in-law reminds me, it's not just the servicemen or women but their families who serve as well.

So, to all our veterans and their families, THANK YOU!!!

Celebrate with family and friends, enjoy a BBQ and great food, share memories of past gatherings, watch some fireworks.....
