We dove right in with the first time I needed them - on very short notice. From the beginning they have been very easy to work with. They work to have aides that match well with my Loved One. They communicate with me with clarity, confirm all appointments, keep me updated when wrinkles happen and things don't go as plan, and do it all graciously. And it's all reasonably priced. : )

As her medical needs change, they have been absolutely wonderful and highly adaptable to work with. She is treated with the utmost respect and caring and whatever transport needs that we request are 100% accommodated. These have included normal medical appointments but also visits to In-N-Out Burger, getting Safeway supplies and even a manicure! Having been in the medical profession myself, I am pretty demanding in that arena, probably even called high maintenance. AEC has met that bar, and even raised it with their excellent communication by Suzee. It's such a great feeling knowing that when you can't be there for a relative, someone who cares still is. Thank you!!

They act like they are trying but simply can't get it together. communication or scheduling is a shit show, not sure exactly what the issue is. Seems like a bunch of people who simply aren't qualified to do their jobs. I would of had less grief and head aches if they weren't in the picture. Using pathways will result in your dying family member not getting the care they deserve. Please go elsewhere! I was reccomend by the VA. I will be calling them also to communicate my dissapointment because it makes me sick to know that people who have done so much for our country in the last fase of life are getting the bottom of the barrel treatment.

Meredith, the owner of this company, was my beloved grandmother's private case manager towards the end of her life. I suggested my dad hire a private case manager as her dementia was getting worse and my dad was having a hard time coping and managing her medical and emotional needs. Meredith coordinated doctors appointments, coached my dad through dealing with dementia, helped arrange for and provide caregivers, and offered moral and emotional support and guidance for my grandmother and the whole family. My grandmother passed away peacefully at home, and I don't think it would have gone as well as it did without the help and support of Meredith and her team. Meredith was very patient with my grandmother who was wary of new people and afraid of relinquishing control as her dementia progressed. She also handled the tense family dynamics of end of life care very well and was almost like a family member during that time, we knew we could count on her. Thank you Meredith!
