Meet the founders

Let’s talk!

Leslee Schafer and Megan Turner, the compassionate founders of Our Aging Services, are together on a mission to guide both seniors and families of individuals with special needs through some of life’s most challenging transitions. Drawing from their own personal experiences—a daughter on the autism spectrum and a son with complex medical needs—Leslee and Megan have built an organization that helps others navigate the overwhelming systems of Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, long-term care, and disability resources.

From helping families “age out” of school services to helping older adults “age on” with dignity, we shine a light on the power of connection, advocacy, and care across generations.
