Company Information

Hello - my name is Sherri (right) and I - along with my mother-in-law Sharlene (center) and my sister-in-law Lynne (left) - welcome you to Caring Transitions of Southern Arizona.   We are residents of Tucson and have seen many families struggle during some of life’s most stressful and overwhelming times, such as a divorce, a life changing illness, the death of a loved one or the changing needs of an aging parent. It inspired our family to start Caring Transitions, a business that provides personalized support to Seniors and their families needing a single-source solution when faced with major life transitions like downsizing and relocation.

We bring a varied background:  we have been teachers, researchers, health physicists, writers, counselors, executives, managers, and mediators.  We have also been mothers, daughters, and grand-daughters and have helped our own beloved parents and grandparents navigate through many of life's challenges - so you can be assured that we will act as your compassionate onsite advocate, keeping your family’s best interests at heart. Our focus is to minimize your stress by helping you through a challenging and often overwhelming time in your family’s life.  Among the services we offer:
