About us
A unique blend of professional expertise and lived experience.
A unique blend
Aria Senior Care was founded on a simple but powerful truth: families facing memory loss from Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's disease need more than just clinical expertise. They need someone who truly understands what they're going through, both professionally and personally.
Executive Director Shannon Royes, a master's-level social worker and Dementia Care Certified Professional with over 20 years of experience, leads Aria Senior Care. The organization offers something rare in the memory care field: a combination of professional training and lived experience.
Shannon's commitment to memory care support isn't just professional, it's deeply personal. Having navigated her own family's journey through memory loss, Shannon understands firsthand the confusion, fear, and isolation that caregivers face.
She knows what it's like to juggle work, family, and caregiving. She understands the guilt, the exhaustion, and the desperate search for guidance when nothing makes sense anymore. She's experienced the loneliness of feeling like no one truly understands what you're going through.
This dual perspective shapes everything about how Aria Senior Care works with families. Shannon doesn't just bring textbook knowledge to your situation. She brings real understanding, genuine empathy, and practical wisdom earned through her own experience.
"I've sat in the same chairs you're sitting in. I've had the same fears, asked the same questions, and felt the same overwhelming sense of responsibility. That's why I do this work. Because I know how much it means to have someone who truly gets it walking alongside you."
What makes us different
About 7 million Americans over 65 have dementia, and that number continues to grow. Memory loss is happening earlier, sometimes in people's 50s. Yet despite how common it is, families often feel shame and isolation. They want to protect their loved one's dignity and guard who they used to be. At Aria Senior Care, we create a safe space where families can be honest about their struggles without fear of judgment.
Whether you only have an iPhone for FaceTime, prefer Zoom video calls, or want a traditional phone conversation, we adapt to what works for you. For families in Houston and surrounding areas, we offer in-person support. For families anywhere else in the nation, we provide the same compassionate, expert care through virtual sessions.
Every session is designed to give you actionable strategies you can use immediately. We don't just offer emotional support, though that's important. We teach you specific techniques for managing challenging behaviors, creating safer home environments, and navigating complex medical systems.
Memory loss doesn't just affect one person; it impacts the entire family emotionally, physically, and mentally. We help families communicate better, resolve conflicts, and come together around shared goals — a neutral, experienced voice that helps restore harmony during a difficult time.
Our Mission
We believe that patients deserve peace, caregivers deserve strength, and families deserve hope.
Our mission is to nurture hope and resilience in families facing memory loss by delivering compassionate support, caregiver guidance, and personalized strategies for safety, calm, and well-being. We're committed to helping you transform fear and confusion into calm, confidence, and hope.
How we work
Each session provides actionable solutions, not just emotional support. You'll walk away with practical strategies you can implement immediately to make a real difference in your daily life.
This is professional guidance designed to reduce caregiver stress and improve the quality of life for your loved one. We offer flexible scheduling that works with your life. This isn't about sitting in a waiting room or navigating insurance paperwork. It's about investing in expert support that helps your family navigate memory loss with confidence and peace.
Where we serve
No matter where you are in the United States, Aria Senior Care can support your family through phone calls, FaceTime, Zoom, or video calls. Distance doesn't limit the quality of care or connection we provide.
For families in the Houston area and surrounding communities (within approximately 1 hour 15 minutes), we offer in-person sessions in your home or another comfortable location of your choice.
You don't have to navigate this journey alone. Let's schedule a conversation about what you're facing and how Aria Senior Care can support your family.
