Overwhelmed after their mother had a major stroke, Carole and her brother needed someone to guide them through the maze of services.
My 88-year-old mother, a dynamo in her youth (which lasted until at least age 82) and still a force of nature, had a major stroke. My brother and I were devastated, frightened, and unsure of what to do to take the best possible care of her.
We found that eastern Massachusetts had a huge range of services and advisers—a maze of them, in fact—but of all the individuals and agencies we consulted, Your Elder Experts proved the most helpful, compassionate, and knowledgeable support and were really THERE throughout the process.
Our care manager was comfortable and knowledgeable about medical issues, the ins and outs of familial love, and financial limitations.
Karen proved to be a very special listener who paid exquisite attention to the details of our experience. She was able to quickly grasp and frame the issues and advise us on specific steps and practical strategies going forward. Moreover, she was comfortable and knowledgeable about medical issues, the ins and outs of familial love, and financial limitations.
In just one in-person visit, with several follow-ups by telephone and email to accommodate our schedules, Karen pointed us in directions that helped us place my mother in the best situation possible and get the legal advice we could trust at a price we could afford.
Karen followed up when we didn't, emailing me when she hadn't heard from us in a while, checking in on how Mom—and my brother and me—were doing, asking if there was anything more she could do. (There was.) I have rarely felt so well taken care of. My family and I are very grateful to Your Elder Experts.
