# Tranquil Living Pathways

A clearer path through elder care.

Tranquil Living Pathways helps families through the hard transitions of
aging: hospital-to-home, housing moves, care planning, and advocacy.
Founded by Valerie Adamski, a former Fox Valley care director.
Independent, nonclinical, and on your side.

- **Free** first consultation
- **7·14·30** — check-in days after a discharge or move
- **Owner-led** — building a team of experts

## How we help

- **Senior transition planning** — prepare for major life changes: assess
  needs and preferences, compare options, and build a personalized plan
  before a crisis makes the choice for you.
- **Hospital-to-home support** — discharge paperwork organized and walked
  through, follow-ups scheduled, transportation and meals arranged, and
  the loose ends caught early.
- **Elder advocacy & care navigation** — someone in your corner who
  speaks the system: programs explained, care meetings prepared,
  paperwork organized.
- **Independent living & safety** — nonclinical home-safety walkthroughs,
  fall-hazard checks, daily routines, and an honest read on when it's
  time for more help.
- **Family caregiver guidance** — caregiving options, the hard
  conversations, shared responsibilities, and check-ins through the rough
  patches.
- **Resource coordination & referrals** — warm connections to vetted
  help: caregiving agencies, assisted living and memory care, benefits,
  elder-law attorneys, senior programs.
- **Assisted living & housing transitions** — compare communities, prep
  the tour questions, coordinate the move, check in afterward.

Also offered: senior resource consultations, care-coordination packages,
7·14·30-day follow-ups, facilitated family meetings, paperwork
organization, dementia navigation for families, and end-of-life doula
support.

## How it works

1. **Free consultation** — a real conversation about your situation.
   No commitment.
2. **Assess & compare** — needs, preferences, and support systems
   mapped; real options on the table.
3. **A plan, then the legwork** — a personalized transition plan, and
   Valerie coordinates it: providers, appointments, movers, paperwork,
   the family.
4. **Scheduled check-ins** — follow-ups at 7, 14, or 30 days after a
   discharge or move.

## When families call

- The discharge call — Mom leaves the hospital Friday and nobody has
  figured out the house.
- Home isn't safe anymore — falls, missed medications, the stove left on.
- A move is coming — assisted living, memory care, or downsizing.
- The family can't agree — a facilitated conversation gets everyone to
  one plan.
- The paperwork avalanche — providers, insurance, benefits, contacts.
- The last chapter — end-of-life doula support alongside hospice and
  medical teams.

## About

Tranquil Living Pathways was founded by **Valerie Adamski**, a Fox Valley
care professional and former director of residential and managed-care
services for Wisconsin seniors and adults with disabilities. She spent
years inside care systems watching families try to find their way through
them — she started Tranquil Living Pathways because nobody should need a
director's experience to make a good decision for someone they love.

*"No matter where life takes you or what journey you are on, you are
not alone."* — Valerie Adamski

Member of the Oshkosh Chamber of Commerce.

## FAQ

**What does a senior care navigator do?** A navigator is your guide
through elder-care decisions: assessing needs, explaining options,
coordinating providers, and handling the legwork.

**Do you provide hands-on care?** No — advisory and coordination only.
Clinical care and medical decisions stay with licensed healthcare
professionals; we help you find, compare, and coordinate them.

**How does the free consultation work?** We meet in person for a
no-commitment conversation about your situation.

**What does it cost after the consultation?** One-time consultations,
ongoing care-coordination packages, or scheduled follow-ups — scoped to
what your family needs; you'll know the shape and cost before anything
starts.

**Do you only work in the Fox Valley?** Based in the Fox Valley:
in person locally, phone/video for families farther out.

**What is an end-of-life doula?** A non-medical companion for the final
chapter: presence, planning, legacy conversations, and family support.
