Owner & Founder
At Silver Age, we believe that treating people well and doing the right thing leads to lasting success. Our story began with founder Abby Durr’s personal caregiving journey. While caring for her grandfather—who was like a father to her—she experienced firsthand the challenges and rewards of end-of-life care. “I lived next door and had the incredible privilege of sitting with him, holding his hand, bathing him, and helping guide his care.”
Abby’s passion for serving older adults grew while working at a local assisted living and memory care community. She recalls the first resident fondly: “She proudly introduced herself to everyone as the first to move in.” That community grew to 92 residents, each with a unique story. As a care coordinator and later a marketing director, Abby discovered senior referral services and felt called to help families facing major care transitions.
Most people hope to stay at home through life’s end—but when plans change, we’re here. With compassion and expertise, we’ll guide you to trusted care resources and housing that fits your needs, lifestyle, and budget.
Since 2008, Silver Age has been helping Seattle-area families find trusted care providers.
