CEO of Age Well Consulting

Stephanie Dolan is the Founder of Age Well Consulting, bringing more than a decade of frontline experience in geriatric assessment, aging, dementia care, and elder care navigation. Her career has been built around helping older adults and their families navigate complex health, cognitive, care, and housing decisions with clarity, confidence, and dignity.

Stephanie holds a Diploma in Recreation & Leisure from Sir Sandford Fleming College and is currently completing her Bachelor of Arts in Gerontology at Laurentian University, with graduation anticipated in July 2027. She continues to advance her education in aging, health, and person-centred care and plans to pursue doctoral-level studies in health sciences beginning in Fall 2027.

Her specialized education and clinical training include:

• Dementia & Behavioural Care: P.I.E.C.E.S. and Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care 
• Palliative & End-of-Life Care: Fundamentals of Hospice Palliative Care 
• Cognitive & Geriatric Assessment: MoCA and CAT certification, Psychiatric Assessment Services for the Elderly (PASE), and geriatric assessment training 
• Geriatric Care Science: McMaster University’s Art & Science of Geriatric Care 
• Mental Health First Aid and Person-Centred Language Training 

For more than 11 years, Stephanie served as a Geriatric Assessor and Client Support Specialist with Ontario’s GAIN (Geriatric Assessment Intervention Network). Working within an interdisciplinary geriatric team alongside physicians, pharmacists, occupational therapists, social workers, and other healthcare professionals, she contributed to comprehensive assessments and individualized care planning for older adults experiencing complex cognitive, physical, mental health, and social challenges.

Stephanie continues to expand her involvement within the aging and gerontology community and holds professional memberships with the International Federation on Ageing (IFA), Canadian Association on Gerontology (CAG), Canadian Geriatrics Society (CGS), and Gerontological Society of America (GSA), where she is also involved with the Emerging Scholar and Professional Organization (ESPO).

She regularly participates in professional education and attends the McMaster University Annual Update in Geriatrics, reflecting her commitment to evidence-informed practice, professional growth, and lifelong learning.

Through Age Well Consulting, Stephanie brings together her clinical experience, gerontology education, community knowledge, and extensive experience working directly with older adults and their families. She is particularly skilled at navigating complicated aging situations—from dementia and cognitive change to caregiver stress, care transitions, housing decisions, and long-term care planning.

Known for her calm, compassionate, and practical approach, Stephanie believes older adults deserve more than simply being told what services are available. They deserve someone who will listen, understand the whole situation, connect the pieces, and advocate for a plan that protects their dignity, independence, safety, and quality of life.

That philosophy is at the heart of Age Well Consulting.
