GERIATRIC_CARE_MANAGERS
The name Solas comes from the Irish word for “light,” reflecting Coleen’s belief that care at the end of life should bring clarity, comfort, and steadiness during an uncertain time. Coleen strongly believes her own life experiences, both personally and professionally, have equipped her to be a source of quiet presence and calm for her clients and their family or professional caregivers. None of us avoids this phase of life for either ourselves or a loved one. Coleen's purpose with Solas is to ensure that every client facing a life-limiting illness receives individualized care aligning with their physical, emotional and spiritual wishes at the end of life.

Coleen approaches care management through the lens of hospice and palliative care, focusing on helping families navigate serious illness and end-of-life decisions at home. Her work centers on understanding what matters most to the individual and ensuring that care plans reflect those values while supporting both the client and their caregivers long before a crisis.
Families often face unfamiliar decisions, emotional stress, and rapidly changing care needs. Coleen helps slow those moments down by facilitating thoughtful conversations, guiding goals-of-care discussions, and helping families understand what to expect as illness progresses.

During a profoundly difficult time for my family, Coleen served as an invaluable source of professional support, medical expertise, and comfort. My ninety-year-old mother's advanced dementia presented unique caregiving challenges, but Coleen's guidance was instrumental in enabling us to honor my mother's wish to remain at home. Coleen offered expert guidance and comprehensive answers to ongoing daily living obstacles, medical concerns, and future care planning. Having a resource as knowledgeable and reliable as Coleen made these challenges far more manageable, allowing my family to focus on being present for my mother in the most meaningful way. Coleen is a compassionate and highly competent professional, and I wholeheartedly endorse her services for any family navigating the complexities of elder care and end-of-life planning.

March 2026The professionalism, love and support that Coleen gave our family could never be matched by anyone. From the minute she came into our lives, Coleen became part of a family in turmoil. It did not matter, day or night, Coleen was only ever a phone call away. She worked quietly, anticipating [the client] and our every need. Coleen’s advice, compassion and presence was invaluable to a family watching their fifty-six-year-old loved one getting ready to leave this world. While death is certainly a part of life, it is a part of life that none of us are prepared to deal with; especially losing someone that should have had many more years with us. There are a lot of things to be considered as the end nears that families cannot fathom on their own. Not the least of which is knowing what to do in those most precious of last moments and accepting that the end has come. Coleen’s most gracious gift is her ability to soothe the heart-broken with the most majestic guidance. There are no words sufficient to express what Coleen did for us all. She is and always will be a part of our extended family and we are forever in debt to her for her strength.
