Meet Shari Ross
Hi, I’m Shari Ross
After over a decade in senior living sales, I wrote the book I wish every family had: Senior Living Made S.I.M.P.L.E. Whether you’re helping your parent transition into senior care or wondering if it’s even time, I’m here to guide you through it all, with compassion, clarity, and a little humor.
I’m also the creator of the S.I.M.P.L.E.™ Method, a step-by-step framework to make senior care decisions less chaotic and more human.
Let’s simplify this together.
If you’re Googling things like “assisted living costs” or “how to convince Mom she’s not fine,” you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the chaotic, guilt-riddled, occasionally hilarious rollercoaster known as helping a loved one transition into senior living. Whether you're bracing for crisis or (miraculously) planning ahead, this book is your compass, cheerleader, and sanity-saver, all rolled into one.
Written by veteran senior living expert Shari Ross, who’s been called everything from “a lifesaver” to “the woman who talked my dad off the ledge with pudding,” this guide gives you the truth, the tools, and the occasional permission to laugh through the absurdity.
