Agapi, NEXsteps and You

NEXsteps comes of age!

Why has Agapi shifted its focus towards NEXsteps? Well, you asked; we listened!

So, how did we land on NEXsteps?

Over the course of nearly four decades, we’ve been dedicated to offering business consultation and marketing strategies with purpose and integrity.  But that’s not all. In the background, we’ve been on a quest to meet the evolving needs of our aging community. And so, NEXsteps was born!

During the journey of overseeing the affairs of a loved one struggling with Alzheimer’s, our principal, Nancy Boisvert, gained firsthand insight into the extensive complexities involved. This experience highlighted how unprepared most individuals are when it comes to the intricate nuances of acting on someone else’s behalf. Astonishingly, even many professionals in advisory roles often lack comprehensive knowledge of all of the intricacies.

After lending a helping hand to many, offering guidance, information, and solutions, Nancy spotted a significant gap in support and services in this arena. Encouragement from legal, financial, and healthcare professionals propelled her to pivot her consulting career towards this space.

This endeavor started in earnest in September, 2022.  Fast forward to December 2023, and here we are – honed, polished, and ready to roll with a hybrid consultation approach that caters to your unique needs.

What’s in our toolkit?

Recognizing that everyone’s needs are as unique as a fingerprint, we’ve crafted both online consultation packages and personalized one-on-one consultations. You get to pick what suits your needs and budget because flexibility is key.

For the strategic alliances in our professional network, we extend specialized pricing for online consultation packages, as well as tailored one-on-one consulting to create customized aging plans for your clients.

There’s truly nothing like firsthand experience to impart wisdom and perspective. Leverage our wealth of learned experiences to sidestep the same pitfalls and hurdles, affording you more quality time with your loved ones rather than chasing after answers.

Strollin’ With Dignity

Hey there, I’ve got a heartwarming story to share with you today. It’s a heartwarming tale about Doug and Elsie—a couple making their way through Alzheimer’s with love and a daily walk that’s more than just steps.

Taking The Scenic Route

Let’s dive into the charming routine of Doug, the superhero husband who makes sure Elsie gets her daily dose of fresh air, sunshine, and community warmth as they saunter through their neighborhood.

Kindness Blooms Along The Path

What’s truly touching is how people in the community interact with them. They stop to chat, show their dogs or kids, and even offer small gestures of kindness, like bringing them cookies or water on a hot day.

It’s a beautiful reminder that Elsie and Doug are not invisible, and that simple acts of recognition and kindness can make a world of difference.

Shining A Light On Alzheimer’s With Heart

This story sheds light on the often-overlooked stories of people like Elsie, reminding us to recognize their existence and cherish the unique, beautiful threads they weave into the fabric of our community.

Let The Heartwarming Vibes Inspire You

This isn’t just a story; it’s an invitation to spread joy. Join me in celebrating the small acts that make a big difference.  Let’s remember the ripple effect of kindness and make our communities a little brighter, one friendly “hello” at a time.

Are You Ready For The Blueprint For Aging Gracefully?

Hey there, it’s Nancy Boisvert from NEXsteps! I’ve got some exciting updates to share with you about my journey over the past seven years and how it led to the birth of NEXsteps. Let’s dive in and chat about some of the events that brought us here.

Taking Care of a Lifelong Friend

So, picture this: back in October 2016, a dear friend of mine faced familial Alzheimer’s. She had left her marriage behind and has no children, so asked me to be her power of attorney, and that marked the start of navigating the caregiving journey. From the early days of assistance to finding the right place for her to live, it’s been a ride!

Battling Bureaucratic Obstacles

You won’t believe the bureaucratic mazes I’ve navigated in the last seven years. From health authorities to financial hurdles, nothing was smooth sailing. I’ve learned a ton, and I can’t wait to spill the beans on the unexpected challenges I’ve faced and how I tackled them.

And guess what? We’re also offering one-on-one coaching! I’ll be your guide, helping you create a personalized plan for aging gracefully, tailored to your specific circumstances and keeping your affairs in check. It’s like having a caring friend by your side.

As NEXsteps gears up to launch these fantastic solutions, I’m stoked to share my experiences and wisdom with you. Aging can be a wild ride, but with the right resources, it doesn’t have to be.  It can be a dignified and organized journey.  Keep an eye out for updates!

Culture Hack and NEXsteps

Finding your next steps with NEXsteps.

On August 3rd of this year, Adam Kolozetti of ENTA Solutions interviewed Nancy Boisvert, the founder of NEXsteps.  This episode aired September 21st, and we’re thrilled to have had the opportunity to share our vision of NEXsteps with Adam and his larger audience.

We covered what inspired NEXsteps and a bit about some of the challenges and obstacles that can crop up when someone is managing the affairs of a loved one.  By being better prepared and understanding some of these issues, others can avoid these issues or, at least, minimize the impact they will have and the time they will take to resolve.

You can watch the episode now, or watch it on our YouTube Channel.     If you prefer, you can listen to our podcast.

You can also check it out on Adam’s channel.

Introducing NEXsteps – Age with Confidence

Introducing NEXsteps – The Art of Aging Well

We are your transitional aging specialists.

The past few years dealing with COVID-19 have been challenging for everyone, and on many levels. During the initial phase, no one knew what to expect. Lockdowns caused many businesses to close, often with no ability to reopen in the future. The impact of the lack of business reverberated throughout nearly all types of businesses; with no customers and no idea what the future held, many opportunities were lost and many businesses had to learn to pivot to continue.

I took this opportunity to reflect on what I felt was most meaningful to me at this phase of my life. I have spent the past several years managing the care and transition of aging friends and relatives, becoming a transitional aging specialist. This has been both rewarding and challenging. There are many aspects to the aging process and the development of an aging plan that simply can’t be anticipated, especially if you are a caregiver “newby”. Then, just a couple months ago, I made a decision to shift my focus from general business and strategic marketing consultation  to consulting with the aging, and their friends and family members who will have the responsibility of managing their care and their aging plan.

I invite any of you who are faced with this planning to reach out. An initial ninety minute consultation to develop a proper aging plan will ensure that you can move forward with confidence and efficiency. Don’t spend hours of your time chasing answers that I have already have discovered during my journey to become a transitional aging specialist. Contact us and schedule your consultation, or check out our products and services.
