Senior Steps

Senior Steps is a geriatric care management practice based in Hingham that helps older adults and their families navigate the complicated decisions of aging. Led by Certified Geriatric Care Manager Carolyn Walsh, it provides assessments, care coordination, advocacy and ongoing support around medical, home and long-term care. The practice, whose full name is Senior Steps, Navigating Transitions in Later Life, offers both short-term planning and long-term management.

Walsh combines backgrounds in education and nursing, along with experience caring for older people in clinical and home settings. She builds a personal and professional support team for each client so they can live where and how they wish, and she works with families, medical staff, attorneys, bankers and building managers. One family’s testimonial describes her arranging help for a relative with unacknowledged dementia, then guiding them through hospital, rehab and hospice care.
