The Event Starts In
If you're reading this, you're probably already carrying more than you're saying out loud.
Maybe it's a phone call that changed everything overnight. Maybe it's the slow, quiet worry that's been building for months — noticing Mom seems less steady on the stairs, or Dad's bills are piling up unopened.
Either way, you're now the one holding it together. Researching options at midnight. Trying to have conversations your parents don't want to have. Wondering if you're making the right calls — or any calls at all.
You are not alone in this, and you don't have to figure it out from scratch.
Top Experts. One Day. Everything You Need to Move Forward with Confidence.
The Caregiver's Compass Summit brings together experts in elder law, care management, senior moves, finances, and family support — all in one place, speaking directly to what you're facing right now.

You'll walk away knowing:
How to start the "we need to talk" conversation without it turning into a fight
What legal and financial documents actually need to be in place — and which ones can wait
How to tell the difference between "aging in place is fine" and "it's time for a change"
What your options really are for care, housing, and support — before you're in crisis mode
How to take care of yourself in the middle of taking care of everyone else
This summit is for You If...
Your parent (or parents) are starting to need more support than they used to
You're the one everyone in the family turns to for decisions
You've felt overwhelmed, guilty, or unsure whether you're doing "enough"
You've felt overwhelmed, guilty, or unsure whether you're doing "enough"
You want a plan in place before a crisis forces one
You're tired of researching alone at 11pm with fifty browser tabs open
Hey, I'm Julie!
Julie Herbert is the founder of Grace Senior Transitions and the creator of The Caregiver's Compass Summit. Her path into this work started at home: watching her grandmother move through a life transition with a plan in place, and later watching her father face a crisis with none. That contrast — the difference clarity makes — is what led her to build Grace Senior Transitions, an advisory practice guiding families and caregivers through the emotional and logistical weight of later-life change.
Before GST, Julie spent over 20 years with the Department of the Navy in law enforcement, security, and administration, and later worked as a Maine real estate agent helping families with moves. She created this summit to bring caregivers the guidance, tools, and community she wishes had been easier to find.
