Cup Full Conversations – Aging & Assisted Living

Presented by The Good Ole Girls’ Network and hosted by Founder, Monica Cost

In this insightful episode of Cup Full Conversations, we sit down with Tia Ervin, a former real estate agent turned Design & Move-In Manager at Collington, a well-respected continuing care retirement community in the DMV area. Tia shares her expertise on one of the most important—and often misunderstood—topics families face: aging and housing transitions.

From breaking down the key differences between independent living, assisted living, and long-term care, to explaining what families should actually expect when considering these options, Tia offers clarity and compassion. She also walks us through the emotional and logistical nuances of moving into a senior living community and how to prepare for what’s ahead.

Whether you’re planning for your parents, a loved one, or your own future, this conversation is filled with practical advice, heartfelt wisdom, and empowering takeaways to help you navigate the journey with confidence.

Pour yourself a cup and join us as we demystify the aging process—Good Ole Girls style.
