“This was a very emotional experience for our family as Dad was refusing to leave his home. Eloise helped diffuse the emotions.  She let us take our time and go at our own pace.  We had never done this before and Eloise walked us through every step of the way.”

“Eloise was quickly available and recognized the urgency of our situation.  Her willingness to take us to various facilities was such a help.  I could ‘feel’ her listening to me intently as I spoke with the caregivers about my mother and describing the type of care I was looking for.  Eloise is kind, present, caring and a wealth of information to boot!!”

“On a scale from one to ten, I say your service is a 10++.  It was so helpful to have an experienced counselor like you advising and checking in on my Mom regularly throughout this process – helping us work through all the issues that are so complicated.  You were so present, patient and helpful every step of the way.  This is one of the most difficult things a family has to do and you really made it less difficult.”

“I think this is a great service.  When we were in L.A., we were given the name of a placement agency that just generated a printout of all the homes in an area.  It was totally useless to us.  Eloise was very knowledgeable and listened to what we wanted for my mother-in-law and came up with the best solutions.”
—Elinor B., Santa Rosa
