Hospice RN Authors 40-Question Guide for Senior Placement

Former Hospice RN Writes 40-Question Framework for Assisted Living Decisions

Spring Hill, United States – May 11, 2026 / Aliviya Rose Manor Luxury Assisted Living Home & Memory Care /

Wendy Schabilion, founder of Aliviya Rose Manor Assisted Living Home and a licensed memory care specialist with more than 14 years of hands-on experience, has released two practical books aimed at helping families navigate the often overwhelming process of senior housing decisions. The publications come as families across Florida continue to face one of the most emotionally difficult choices of their lives: finding appropriate care for an aging loved one who can no longer live independently.

Books Born From 14 Years on the Front Lines of Memory Care

Wendy’s first title, “Solving The Senior Housing Puzzle: Family Guide to Choosing the Right Options for Mom or Dad,” walks families through the full range of care options available to seniors. Her second book, “The Ultimate Guide to Choose the Best Assisted Living for Your Loved One,” co-authored with Tristan Fullum, focuses on the assisted living selection process, providing specific questions, red flags, and evaluation criteria that families rarely know to consider. Both books draw directly from Wendy’s background as a former Hospice RN, BSN, MSC, and PAC Certified Independent Trainer — credentials that gave her a clinical understanding of what seniors truly need at different stages of decline.

Wendy founded Aliviya Rose Manor Assisted Living Home in 2022. Operating under AHCA License #1184, the boutique 8-resident home in Spring Hill, FL provides a residential environment for individuals living with memory loss or diminished ability to perform daily activities. The small resident count is deliberate — it allows staff to deliver a level of personalized care that larger facilities are structurally unable to replicate. That philosophy is carried directly into the books, which are written for family members rather than medical professionals.

A Senior Housing Guide Written for Families in Crisis

The guides are intentionally accessible. When a parent is discharged from a hospital or a diagnosis arrives without warning, families are typically given days — not months — to make consequential decisions. Most have never navigated assisted living Florida placement before. Wendy’s books function as a compressed education, translating what a memory care specialist develops over years of clinical work into plain language that any adult child or spouse can apply immediately.

“After years of watching families walk through our doors in a state of panic, I realized the system gives them almost no time and almost no real information,” said Wendy Schabilion, Founder of Aliviya Rose Manor Assisted Living Home. “I wrote these books because every family deserves to ask the right questions before they sign anything — and the first book alone covers more than 40 questions families should be asking that most never think to raise.”

Clinical Credentials Behind the Guidance

Wendy’s path to authorship is grounded in clinical experience rather than theory. Her background in hospice nursing provided direct exposure to end-of-life care, while her work as a PAC Certified Independent Trainer deepened her understanding of how care systems are evaluated and where they commonly fall short. Those combined perspectives shape both publications into a practical senior housing guide rather than a broad overview. Families using either title are working from the same framework an experienced clinician would bring to the process.

The two books are available through aliviyarosemanor.com, where families can also contact Wendy’s team directly with questions specific to memory care placement or assisted living Florida options in the Spring Hill area.
