Matt W. - Senior Care Lifestyles

Tags

Deborah was instrumental in helping my family find an assisted living community for my mother during a time of crisis for our family. Mom’s decline happened so quickly and we were not prepared. We needed legal power of attorney documents drawn up quickly, understanding her assets and available funds for her care costs plus her eligibility for VA benefits which we had no idea about. Deborah guided us through EVERYTHING! Her knowledge and expertise brought a calm to the process that we so needed. Step by step she explained what was involved, provided service specialists in other fields to reach out to, and within one week Mom was settled into an affordable assisted living community getting the care she needed and the family could go back to a new normal. We are so grateful to have services and caring professionals out there to help seniors in need. We would highly recommend Senior Care Lifestyles to any family in need of direction and help.
