Senior Living Options: We’ve Been There
We’re Brad and Shannon Barghols, and we’ve been married for 30 years! We have three adult children and one wonderful grandchild.

A few years ago, Shannon’s father needed more and better care than we could provide in our home. That began the frustrating, scary, complicated process of finding the best senior living solution for him. We had a bad experience with our first facility because, frankly, we were focused on the wrong things. Our frustration was passed along to a wonderfully caring couple who are senior living consultants. Using their guidance and expertise, we moved Shannon’s father to another facility, where he lived the rest of his days in a phenomenal environment, receiving incredible care. We saw the difference in the quality of life for our loved one (and in ours!) and were inspired to help others in a similar way.
We are driven and dedicated to introducing you to the facilities that are best for your family’s unique needs. You don’t have time to tour and interview dozens and dozens of facilities. We’ve done it, and continue to do it on a weekly basis. And we don’t depend on the glossy brochure created by the facility! Our exploration includes interviewing past and present families, medical staff, and nearby organizations.
Sunflower Senior Living Consultants exists to pay forward the kindnesses and expertise that we enjoyed when trying to do the best possible thing for our loved one. Our FREE service will help you avoid the regret and guilt that we had when Shannon’s father was in the wrong place. And our approach reduces your stress as we equip your family with the information it needs to make a good decision regarding senior living options.
I know Brad to be a lover of people and a man of unquestioned integrity. He’s never met a stranger, and truly has a servant’s heart. His entire career has been devoted to the service of others.

Shannon’s southern heritage touches everything she does. Her welcoming manner and hospitable mindset put you at ease in an instant. She loves to connect over a glass of sweet tea and homegrown veggies.
