ThirdAge Services is a group of professionals who help “Third Age” and other individuals with their financial and daily living needs. Our personal experiences -- we all have parents in their 80's -- convinced us of the need. Our varying roles as adult children of distant and cognitively impaired parents led us to understand the need for custom services designed for the needs of each individual. Our training and expertise make us uniquely qualified to meet your needs by offering objective, accurate assessments of your needs. We have the resources to provide wide ranging, impartial solutions to questions, and support you in meeting challenges and making choices. We are independent consultants who offer solutions, plans of action and assistance with executing those plans.
