Hello, I’m Candie Jolgen, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to work alongside one of my best friends, Julie Hvitfeldtsen, the founder and owner of Bestemor Senior Solutions. It’s an ideal arrangement for me because I’m able to work from home while also being there for my 98-year-old mother, Gloria. Because she depends on me, I’m not able to be away from home for extended periods of time.
My mother and I live in Providence Point, a wonderful Independent 55+ community in Issaquah, WA. There are so many opportunities to get involved, from the many clubs and activities to the Communiversity classes. I feel incredibly fortunate to call Providence Point home and to have made so many wonderful friends here.
Recently, I experienced firsthand just how special this community is when I fell and broke my wrist. My friends were there for me every step of the way, offering help, encouragement, and support throughout my recovery. Their kindness reminded me once again what makes Providence Point such a special place to live.
At the same time, many of our residents eventually reach a point where they need to consider transitioning to a different type of housing or care. Some may no longer be able to safely live independently, while others may have spouses who can no longer provide the level of care and support their loved ones need.
Through our community outreach and referral program, I’ve had the privilege of connecting residents and their families with Julie when they find themselves facing these difficult transitions. Whether they are exploring assisted living, memory care, or hospice; navigating elder law; or preparing for a move and downsizing, Julie brings extensive experience and compassion to the process.
Bestemor Senior Solutions offers complementary services designed to help seniors and their families understand their options, navigate the many decisions involved, and ultimately find the solution that best fits their individual needs and circumstances.
For me, being able to support my neighbors while working alongside a trusted friend is truly a privilege. I’m grateful to be part of a community where people look out for one another—and where I can help connect families with the resources and guidance they need when life takes them in a new direction.
❤️ Yours truly, Candie & Mom, Gloria 98th Bday picture
