TASS Newsletter – July 2023 – The Alliance for Senior Services of New Jersey

Dear Clients and Friends,

We hope you all are having an enjoyable Summer, as July goes into August. Here at TASSNJ we have been staying busy and have a lot of great information and events to share, along with our spotlight business of the month…Setting the Stage LLC.

Linda Chinman Pollock- Founder and CEO of Setting The Stage LLC- is a Certified Aging In Place Specialist and Certified Living In Place Professional

During Linda’s 35+ year career, she learned everything she possibly could about construction. Working with large national developers to renovate buildings turning them into condos and working with high-end residential project managers. She also currently owns North Jersey Home Maintenance Group, a full-service home maintenance and management company in Northern NJ

As someone with an aging parent herself, she understands the challenges adult children face when they get pushback about making modifications to a family home. And then some of her clients began to have issues — some were aging and having difficulty navigating stairs and showers; younger people had life-changing situations, and spouses fell ill and needed handicapped modifications to their homes.

Now, through Setting the Stage, she is on a mission to modify homes so that people with compromised abilities — either from aging issues or because of a disability — can “Age in Place” and “Live in Place,” staying comfortably in the home they love.

Setting The Stage offers a free 30-minute telephone consultation. You can schedule this by using this link https://calendly.com/linda-settingthestage/30min
