Allison O'Shea

Allison O’Shea is a leader in the aging industry. She has over twenty years of direct hands-on experience working with seniors and their families in the role of Executive Director for various senior living companies. This experience has given her the knowledge to be a reputable voice in the confusing and overwhelming world of aging.

In January of 2022 Allison founded Openly Aging, LLC and created the profession of Aging Advisor. An Aging Advisor is a professional who works with an aging person and their family to gather the information needed to create a long- and short-term strategy to maintain independence as long as possible while being educated on all their options for the future. The Aging Advisor along with the client and family then determine which path is best based on key elements, support system, finances, current living situation and future options and intentional social engagement.

Everyone’s aging path is different. Allison and her clients engage in open dialogue about what is important to them, and then create a strategy of education so her clients maintain independence and control throughout their aging journey.

The mission of Openly Aging is to talk about the elephant in the room…aging…and be thoughtful about how we embark on our aging journey.
