A New Approach to Graceful Aging—Bluebelle Concierge Launches on the Peninsula

Nov. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Burlingame, CA—November 9, 2010—Bay Area locals, Laura Kahn and Rachel Shamash, recently launched Bluebelle Concierge, a personal lifestyle concierge company that works with baby boomers and older adults to enrich and enhance their quality of life. With the number of baby boomers increasing every year, more people are looking for new and creative ways to have an independent, active, and healthy lifestyle—that’s where Bluebelle comes in.

Bluebelle Concierge takes a traditional concierge model and adds a proactive element. By pinpointing clients’ interests and needs, Bluebelle Concierge creates a comprehensive lifestyle plan that offers tools and resources aimed at living well and living fully. After an in-depth consultation, Bluebelle Concierge develops a customized plan that might include activity calendars, health and nutrition goals, and continuing education opportunities. In addition, Bluebelle provides an array of services ranging from making local business referrals to setting up a night at the opera (bells and whistles included!).

Laura Kahn, Owner and Manager, says, “We make it simple—tell us what interests you and we’ll make it happen. We provide our clients with access to opportunities that are sometimes difficult or time consuming for people to find on their own.” Bluebelle Concierge works with a wide span of clients from the active father of four who needs help planning vacations and running errands to the elderly couple that wants reminders about local events and weekly check-in calls. Rachel Shamash, Owner and Manager, adds, “We strive to create a balanced lifestyle for our clients by getting to know what they love and what brings them joy. The more we get to know our clients, the easier it is for us to anticipate their needs and provide them with the highest quality of service.”

On the Peninsula, there are multiple nonprofit organizations and programs that provide a variety of services for older adults. Bluebelle sets itself apart by providing its clients (of varying ages) with the know-how to navigate the overwhelming number of social and educational opportunities and resources available to them. By addressing the unique needs of each client in a personal and creative way, Bluebelle Concierge stands out as an innovative and entrepreneurial venture paving the way for a new approach to graceful aging. Laura Kahn adds, “It makes us happy to know that we are dedicating ourselves to the well being of our community in a new and exciting way.” Bluebelle Concierge offers customized monthly membership packages and gift certificates.
