Introducing Lifescape's New Client Relations Manager & Triage Specialist.
Tonia Cantrell serves as the Client Relations Manager & Triage Specialist at Lifescape Elder Care Law & Estate Planning, where she helps guide families through some of the most emotional and complex transitions associated with aging, long-term care, and estate planning.
Tonia is a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator with more than 20 years of experience in healthcare operations, senior living, compliance, and client advocacy. She brings a unique combination of clinical understanding, industry knowledge, and compassionate problem solving to the Lifescape team. Prior to joining Lifescape, she worked extensively in senior placement and care coordination throughout the Kansas City metro, helping families navigate independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, Medicaid planning considerations, and long-term care transitions.
As the first point of contact for many families, Tonia works closely with clients to understand their concerns, gather essential information, coordinate consultations, and help ensure families feel supported and informed throughout the planning process. Her background in long-term care and senior services allows her to recognize not only the legal needs families face, but also the emotional, medical, and practical challenges that often accompany them.
