Gerhardt, Ailene

Independent Board Certified Patient Advocate, Certified Senior Advisor, Solo Aging Educator

Beacon Patient Solutions LLC & Navigating Solo Network

Stage: Looking at options / planning

I am a former Jewish Communal professional now independent patient advocate who offers an array of community education programs and groups ranging from navigating the health care system, patient safety and patient's rights, the unique needs of solo aging, planning for solo aging and more. You can view the list here https://www.beaconpatientsolutions.com/speaking. I have partnered with synagogues and Jewish organizations and am interested in ways to connect with organizations to further the reach of my work! As my advocacy practice has evolved, I have developed a specialty working with solo agers (an adult 55+ who, because of choice or circumstance, are without the support of adult children or close family members). In the fall of 2021, I launched the Navigating Solo Network: The Path to Dynamic Solo Aging Starts Here™ (navigatingsolo.com) which includes a national website, a growing network of members, and an online clearinghouse featuring resources specifically for Solo Agers.
