FINDING YOUR WAY THROUGH

ELDER CARE DECISIONS

If you are here, you are facing big decisions. We provide unbiased answers, advice, and advocacy. We know the rules, regulations and your rights. Let us take you from “hoping” you’re doing the right thing…to knowing you are.

If you like what you see here, contact us for consultation. We will meet over a cup of coffee, tea or water, and discuss your concerns. During this session we will learn about your situation and then make suggestions and referrals. Sometimes that’s all the help a family needs. If what you want isn't listed, just ask. If we don’t know the answer, we’ll tell you. Then we’ll refer you to someone who does! “Your best interest is our only interest. We are all about you . . . all about choice.”
