Aging & Accessibility Housing Consultant, Founder of Heart & HomeTransitions

Serving Metro Vancouver in person

For many families, decisions about aging, housing and care begin not with a clear plan, but with growing concerns: Is a parent still safe at home? Is enough support in place? Would home modifications help, or is it time to consider a move? And how can the family make the right decision without adding unnecessary stress or conflict?

Corina Stainsby founded Heart & Home: Later-Life Planning & Transitions to help older adults and their families answer these questions before a crisis makes the decisions for them.

With a professional background in Occupational Therapy and more than ten years of experience specializing in seniors’ real estate and transitions, Corina understands that these decisions involve far more than a home. They are connected to health, safety, independence, caregiving capacity, family relationships, finances and the emotional meaning of where someone lives.

Corina helps families step back, understand the whole situation and create a practical path forward. That may mean remaining at home with thoughtful modifications and additional support, exploring a retirement community, downsizing or moving closer to family. There is no single right answer—the right plan depends on the individual, the family and what matters most to them.

Through structured Decision Sessions, personalized later-life roadmaps and hands-on transition coordination, Heart & Home provides families with one trusted place to begin. When additional expertise is needed, Corina connects and coordinates with carefully selected professionals in areas such as accessibility, healthcare navigation, home care, organizing, estate services, legal and financial planning, moving, real estate and more.

Her approach is warm, practical and centred on the needs of each person and family. By bringing clarity to complicated decisions and organizing the many moving parts, Corina helps families create a path forward that feels manageable, informed and right for their circumstances.

Heart and Home helps families decide what comes next and move forward with clarity and peace of mind.
