Bringing Smiles to Seniors

Dynamically Created - Personalized Stories for Senior Wellness

Imagine:

A personalized story or two, custom written for you based on your preferences to enjoy or to share with friends or family.

My hope is simple — bring smiles to seniors, by crafting engaging stories that foster mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being and community.

  • By 2030, more than 1.4 billion people will be over 60. Also, 40-50% of 60+ report feeling lonely. Seniors and families need ways to stay connected, preserve stories, and navigate the changes of aging with dignity and ease. ion text goes here

  • Across psychology and communication research, one truth is clear: stories matter. Personalized narratives help older adults feel valued and give families a safe, engaging way to share memories, experiences, and future hopes. Storytelling builds connection, community, belonging, and resilience.

  • SilverBeacon creates personalized stories that foster mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness, spark joy, preserve legacy, and help seniors and families talk about what matters most. We help build community around the shared content (the stories) to create a naturally engaging and supportive environment. From fictional tales to memory vignettes to “conversation-starter stories,” we design engaging narratives — without collecting health data or making clinical claims.Description text goes here

  • Private by design. No Personal Health Information (PHI). Just meaningful stories that honor the lives of seniors, strengthen family bonds, and create moments of clarity and connection with others that foster mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

  • To be the trusted leader in narrative-based senior wellness — bring enjoyment to seniors, bring families and communities closer through stories that celebrate life, bridge generations, and support dignity in aging.

  • I spent my career helping people engage, learn, and change—and stories have always been the catalyst. As my own parents, in-laws, and friends aged, I saw how stories could do even more: support mental, emotional and spiritual wellness, while giving families a powerful way to connect. SilverBeacon is the expression of that belief.

One of the oldest and most powerful innovations in humankind is the story: It shapes how we view the world, it powers causality, it helps us make sense of what we do.

Recalling and telling stories to my family and friends has strengthened a bond not only for me, for them as well. Stories can benefit the teller and the listener or the reader.
