Life is a journey, not a destination.

Meet Connie
Caring for an aging loved one rarely comes with a road map. Families are often asked to make important decisions about health, safety, housing, finances, and care while navigating their own fear, grief, responsibilities, and everyday lives.
That is where Journey Care comes in.
Since 2016, Connie Ryan has worked with more than 300 families navigating the changing needs of aging loved ones. Her experience in senior care has shown her that families often need something that falls between doing everything alone and hiring someone to take over: a knowledgeable guide who can help them understand their options, create a plan, connect with trusted resources, and decide what comes next.
Connie founded Journey Care Coordinating to provide that kind of support. Her approach combines practical care planning and resource navigation with something equally important: making space for the family members doing the caring.
Journey Care isn’t about creating a perfect plan or solving every problem at once. It is about slowing down the overwhelm, identifying what matters most, and helping families move forward one step at a time.
Community & Advocacy
Connie’s work has always extended beyond individual client conversations. In Colorado Springs, she became deeply involved in senior advocacy, caregiver education, community events, and volunteer efforts designed to make aging resources easier to understand and access.
Her community involvement has included educational programs for seniors and caregivers, collaboration with local senior-care professionals, volunteer work with Silver Key Senior Services Meals on Wheels, participation in the annual Alzheimer’s Association Walk, and advocacy around issues including emergency services, affordable senior housing, and access to quality support.
In 2023, Connie’s contributions to the community were recognized when she received the Mayor’s Young Leader Award for Health & Wellness.
Today, Journey Care carries that same spirit forward by helping families in Tucson, Colorado Springs, and beyond find clarity, build practical care plans, and connect with resources they can trust.
