Brynne Malone, Owner & Founder
My journey to founding Aging Solutions began nearly 40 years ago, in the aisles of a neighborhood grocery store. As a high school senior working to save for college, I took on a job there — and my favorite responsibility, by far, was delivering groceries to our customers. Many of them were older adults living alone, and those deliveries became so much more than a transaction. I’d often stay to chat, hear their stories, and over time, real friendships grew. I watched people navigate the later years of life up close — their independence, their pride, their quiet struggles — and without realizing it at the time, those relationships were shaping the values that would guide the rest of my career.
That foundation followed me into my work as an investment advisor, where I focused on strategies that gave people real security and peace of mind in retirement. That path led me into legal advocacy for individuals with dementia and others seeking an independent voice in their own care — work that showed me how much is at stake when planning isn’t done in time. I then spent twelve years in senior leadership at a national health services company, helping retirees and veterans navigate a healthcare system in constant change.
I’ve never forgotten where it all started — that neighborhood grocery store, and the people who taught me what it means to age with grace. Aging Solutions brings those years together, with one goal: helping the people I serve enjoy a retirement that’s enriching, secure, and truly carefree.
Sincerely,
Brynne Malone
Gina Carlson, Director of Operations
I’m a lover of life, a curious adventurer, and a lifelong learner. My respect for our senior community began early, shaped by the grandparents and elder family friends who filled my childhood with wisdom, humor, and stories earned through a life fully lived. One moment in particular has stayed with me: visiting my mother’s dear friend in a nursing home, a woman whose body had grown frail but whose spirit remained luminous. She spoke only of how blessed she felt for the life she’d lived. Her grace, gratitude, and quiet strength showed me what it means to age with dignity. I have carried her influence in my heart ever since, and it continues to guide the work I do today.
With a background in project management and planning, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting seniors and their families through life’s major transitions. As a Senior Move Manager, I ensured every move — from downsizing to settling in — was organized, compassionate, and dignified. As a concierge, I built meaningful relationships and created experiences that reflected what brought each client joy. As an Aging Advocate, I’ve guided families through honest conversations and fact-based decisions during pivotal moments. I’m proud to be part of Aging Solutions and deeply believe in our mission to walk alongside clients as they build a secure,
supported, and independent future.

Tina Michael, Administrative Assistant
Tina Michael has spent her life caring for others with warmth, steadiness, and genuine compassion. Her heart for seniors began in college, when she worked as a housekeeper in an assisted living facility. What started as a job quickly became something more — she found herself lingering to talk with residents, listening to their stories, and discovering how much she loved connecting with older adults. Those early relationships shaped her lifelong desire to support seniors with dignity and kindness.
After earning her BA in chemistry and completing her medical assisting degree, Tina worked in a pediatric office before stepping into the role she cherishes most — being a mom. Raising and homeschooling her four children deepened her patience, strengthened her organizational skills, and taught her how to create calm and structure in the midst of busy, ever-changing seasons. She later served as the administrator for a church plant, led women’s ministry programs, and taught history at a homeschool coop, each role reinforcing her gift for guiding, supporting, and caring for people.
Today, as an Administrator with Aging Solutions, Tina brings together her clinical background, her administrative experience, and her deep love for seniors. She walks alongside teammates to guide seniors and their families with empathy and clarity, helping them navigate difficult decisions, communicate openly, and move forward with confidence rather than fear. Tina believes wholeheartedly in Aging Solutions’ mission to support seniors in building a secure, independent future — and she is honored to be part of a team that treats every client with respect, understanding, and genuine care.

Kim De Lisle, Concierge Services
Hi, I’m the girl with the pom-poms for life’s everyday victories.
Whether it’s making that phone call you’ve been avoiding, tackling a to-do list that’s grown a little too long, running errands, organizing a busy day, or standing beside you as an advocate, I’m here to make life easier—and a lot more enjoyable.
My heart for helping others began years ago while caring for a beloved family member who depended on others for daily support, yet somehow brought endless laughter and joy to everyone around them.
Being a Companion Home operator for the State of Washington, gave years of experience that taught me that caring for others isn’t just about meeting needs—it’s about celebrating life along the way.
That’s why I love being part of Aging Solutions NW. I believe the best years of life deserve companionship, encouragement, and someone who is genuinely cheering you on. Think of me as part assistant, part advocate, part problem-solver, and full-time cheerleader.
Because everyone could use someone in their corner now and again.
Cheers to life~
