Aging Brings Questions.
You Don’t Have to Navigate Them Alone.

Stephanie was exactly who we needed during an incredibly stressful and confusing time for our family. My dad’s care situation had become complicated very quickly, and we were trying to navigate hospital care, rehab placement, insurance questions, and next steps without really knowing what to push for or who to talk to. Stephanie was calm, knowledgeable, compassionate, and immediately helpful. She understood the system, helped us clarify what level of care my dad needed, and gave us practical guidance on how to advocate for him. She also helped connect us with the right people and made sure we knew what questions to ask so important details didn’t fall through the cracks. What meant the most was that she saw my dad as a person, not just a difficult case on paper. She understood that he had a strong support system and real rehab potential, and she helped us communicate that clearly. I’m so grateful we found her. In a situation where we felt overwhelmed and unsure, Stephanie helped us feel informed, supported, and far less alone.

The second you meet Stephanie, it is clear how much she cares about her client and the family! She brings calm, clarity, and direction to situations that often can feel overwhelming, while still honoring a person’s independence. As both a care manager and an occupational therapist with personal advocacy experience, you are in the best hands possible. Stephanie offers guidance you can truly trust! If you are looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable professional to help you or a loved one navigate the healthcare system, transitions, aging, or any advocacy, Heart & Soul Aging will be with you every step of the way. Every individual should have an advocate and care manager to walk alongside them as they navigate aging.

We have the pleasure of working with Stephanie Oelke while navigating healthcare needs for our elderly (age 101!) aunt and I honestly can't say enough good things about her. We knew finding a health care manager would be a challenge as we live out-of-state but from the very first phone call, Stephanie was compassionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly organized. Stephanie immediately developed a good report with our aunt – who now refers to her as “Stephie” – and created a unique plan of occupational therapy for her continued independent living arrangement. When my aunt required a brief hospital stay, Stephanie helped us understand complex medical information, coordinated appointments, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Most importantly, she truly listened to our concerns and treated our family member with dignity and respect every step of the way. Thanks to Stephanie’s support, we were able to make informed decisions with confidence and peace of mind. It felt like having a trusted expert and a kind friend all in one. Highly recommend to anyone needing a strong advocate in the healthcare system—especially for aging loved ones. Truly a lifesaver.
