Frequently Asked Questions

What does a senior care consultant do?

A senior care consultant helps families understand aging care options and make confident decisions about their loved one’s future. This includes guidance on assisted living, memory care, in-home care, and long-term planning.

At Henkels Senior Care Consulting, we simplify the process, explain options clearly, and help you take the next right step without overwhelm or pressure.

When should I contact a senior care consultant?

You should contact a senior care consultant when you feel unsure, overwhelmed, or conflicted about a loved one’s care needs.

Common situations include safety concerns at home, confusion about assisted living, sudden health changes, or family disagreements about next steps. If you’re asking “What do we do now?”—it’s the right time.

Do you help with assisted living placement in Minnesota?

We do not place individuals in facilities.

Instead, we provide assisted living guidance in Minnesota, helping families understand care levels, compare options, and evaluate communities so they can make the best decision for their loved one.

Our role is to guide—not sell or pressure.

How do I know if my parent needs assisted living or memory care?

Signs may include frequent falls, memory loss affecting daily life, missed medications, difficulty managing hygiene or meals, or increased caregiver stress within the family.

We help families assess these changes and determine the appropriate level of care based on safety, dignity, and quality of life.

What areas do you serve?

We provide senior care consulting in Minnesota, including the Twin Cities and surrounding communities. We also offer remote consultations for families outside the area who need guidance and support.

How do I get started with senior care consulting?

We combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with clear communication and reliable results. It’s not just what we do—it’s how we do it that sets us apart.
