As a fellow provider with a vision for expansion our founder, Daniela Torkelson, saw a need within the adult family home industry to bring together a team of qualified individuals who could assist providers by removing the weight and burden of finances, compliance, and various aspects of the business. Because of her vision, My AFH was created. Our team of professionals work directly with the AFH provider to ensure that your loved one receives a standard of excellence in care, comparable to that of a corporate-run institution.

Family owned and operated since 1995 as experienced senior care professionals in the greater Seattle metropolitan area, My AFH is a name that you can trust. Our value added-service allows us to remove the weight of the business from the provider at no additional expense to you. By doing so, the providers that we consult are able to solely devote their time and efforts into providing personalized care for your family member.

Families are asked to make monumental decisions about their loved one’s placement in residential care, usually without the luxury of time. At Golden Sherpa, we created a platform for families to find senior living options, information to help care for loved ones, and learn about supportive solutions in the senior living space.

Golden Sherpa is a platform marketplace, not a referral or discharge agency. At Golden Sherpa seniors-living providers, their partners, suppliers, customers, and anyone interested in making a positive contribution to the senior living experience can connect.

Experts in the fields of information technology and market research who struggled to find senior living information for their aging parents founded Golden Sherpa. After meeting, listening, and learning from communities, senior living service providers, and adult children, they developed the Golden Sherpa platform for the senior living community, and its customers to connect and interact directly.

Reduce your referral costs by marketing directly to adult children and professionals searching for available placement in residential care.

Contact us now to begin your journey with Golden Sherpa.

Eldercare Counseling & Guidance Services

We are happy to support AFH’s as much or as little as needed and are happy to meet via phone or Zoom. Our team of Licensed Mental Health Counselors and Social Workers often provide education, support and care planning for residents struggling with memory or mood such as challenging behaviors, anxiety or depression.

1. Counseling: We provide counseling via phone or Zoom anywhere in the state for your residents and are happy to come to your AFH in Thurston, Mason and Lewis Counties.

2. Care Management: We can be a smooth hand-off from discharge to your home to assist in coordination of care and preventing rehospitalization. Many AFH’s appreciate assistance in ordering meds/equipment, scheduling and attending appointments, creating care plans, communicating with families, etc

3. Consultations/Training: We offer this service to AFH’s to assist in educating staff and care planning challenging behaviors, mood, and behaviors related to dementia

4. Transition Support: We offer placement services to our clients seeking AFH settings. What sets us aside from a ‘placement and referral’ service is that we are experienced healthcare providers and we provide transitional support to our clients before, during and following their move. We believe that this transitional period is the most important time for everyone involved: the client, the family and the AFH.

5. Assessments: Our team is qualified to provide Adult Family Home assessments. We are also qualified to administer memory and mood assessments.

6. DSHS/Medicaid Challenging Behavior Consulting: for those on Medicaid and are at risk of losing their placement due to challenging behaviors, our team is available, with a referral from the case manager, to provide challenging behavior consultant services to support AFH’s in stabilizing their situation.
