ABOUT SILVER SHERPA INC.
Silver Sherpa Inc. is a professional services company delivering confidential planning and coordination services for older people in transition. Services are focused in two key areas: Smart Ageing and Elder Management.
Our Smart Ageing Program includes auditing your current lifestyle and making recommendations to address needs or services that may be required now or in the future.
Elder Management is a term we have coined that references an all-encompassing, proactive approach to your life, health, and well-being. It includes comprehensive planning and coordination services across various sectors as well as crisis management services to assist older people and special needs families in making major life changes.
Life transitions can be complex, requiring solutions that integrate thoughtful, customized health and personal care solutions as well as financial and legal preparedness.
We are trusted advisors and co-pilots helping people create their own path and simplify important life decisions in three easy steps: PLAN, NAVIGATE and CONNECT. We are unique in the extent of expertise and value we offer our clients.
The Corporate office is located in Oakville, Ontario, although we are a virtual company rapidly expanding across Canada. The area of focus for this role is Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
