Diane H.

Thank you Deborah for your assistance with quickly finding an assisted living home for my Aunt. Your professionalism, knowledge and responsiveness to our needs and urgency was comforting as we were in unknown territory, but when you said “I have this and its going to be alright”…I knew immediately we were in good hands. I also appreciate you meeting with my aunt on her move day from rehab to her new assisted living home as I was not able to take off work. You went to the rehab, made sure her items were packed up, got the discharge papers from the social worker, made arrangements for transportation for her in her wheelchair to her new home and stay and visited with her to make sure she was settled in. We are so grateful and my Aunt is happy in her new home and the transition was smooth just as you said it would be. Thank you again Deborah!
