Hi all -- I just wanted to add to my review. Christyna followed up with me for over a year to make…read moresure my mom was happy and comfortable. I also recently referred a friend to her, who was facing an even more difficult and emotional situation with a relative who has dementia, and who could no longer be cared for at home. Christyna helped them find a small, friendly home-based location that let everyone feel less stressed about the transition. It was a real blessing to my friend and the family. I highly recommend Christyna!

Absolute scam. These people have zero qualifications to recommend any type of care. They charge…read morefacilities 100% of first month's fee. So if you're paying $6,000 a month for your loved one's care, that's the commish paid out by the facility to them. They are just sales people. They have no idea about the inner workings of facilities. To them your loved ones are simply commodities. Same with A Place For Mom and others. Commish is anywhere from 100-120%. They bribe hospital discharge nurses for business... I can go on and on. Do the research yourself and don't fall prey to these vultures.

These people are great.

Highgate is a smaller facility that is much more intimate. They have a bulletin board with about a dozen pictures of staff that have been there for at least 10 years. When we ate a meal in their dining room I noticed (1) their tables are widely spaced for walkers and (2) some of the administrative staff actually serve the tables. They are all very intimate with the residents. The food is great by the way. We were fortunate to tour just as they had an opening in assisted living. However, after 10 days they called us in for a conference. There had been an incident and they recognized that he was in an early stage of dementia. We were afraid they might say he "wasn't a good fit" for the place. We said that in the meeting and all three staffers immediately reacted for us to be assured, that this is what they are equipped to handle. They have people who are trained in dealing with dementia and have a program for helping keep the minds active which can otherwise lead to pent up frustration. We realize we were too close to see the subtle changes but when they explained how all the little signs added up, it really explained a lot. When something like this hits a family member you are in denial, you don't see it happening. We didn't. They started him in the program and shortly had an opening in memory care where they get the same great food. These people really care and evaluated his behavior. Another place just told us that he was "misbehaving". Highgate is much much better. We're very glad to have found them.

This is a challenging time with Covid-19, but Liz arranged for us to see (by some different means) 4 adult foster care homes all in one afternoon.

She also provided us with a basic questionnaire form so that we had a list of some good questions to ask each owner. We ended up choosing one of the 4 places, and everyone is very pleased with the choice. Liz is knowledgeable and resourceful! Thank you Liz!

I contacted Peter Wilhelm and he right away was the nicest, most knowledgeable advocate for seniors that I had yet to meet. After speaking to him about my mother's needs, limitations, and struggles at her current home, he diligently worked by contacting many owners and providers to seek availability. He also searched the DHS websites for information. After several weeks I was becoming a bit panicky, as I was under a time crunch. And then by the grace of God, he let me know of Amanda Shields at Magnolia Innovative Senior living in Garden Home. Wow, talk about a refreshing, warm wonderful person, as well as her new foster home, built specifically for foster care. I can't thank Peter enough for sending me and my mother to one of the nicest places I have ever toured, and my mother couldn't be happier!! If you are seeking an advocate to assist you in finding placement for your elderly loved ones or have friends who need help please contact Peter as he is a miracle worker. Thank you again Peter!

Every single time I call, they say they'll return my call and give me an update... and then I never hear anything at all. No follow-up, no answers, nothing. Just empty promises and complete silence. You hire an estate planning attorney expecting them to handle the process and keep the family informed. Instead we've been left completely in the dark for 12 months with zero communication. That's unacceptable. I'm starting to think this place has stolen my inheritance. If you're dealing with a loved one's estate, do yourself a favor and look somewhere else. This experience has been nothing but frustration, ignored calls, and silence.

Then, got a call from their scheduler, who was telling me that they were going to come the following day, with an appointment. Not only had they not asked about my schedule (I had a dentist appointment the following day), but had no concern about me telling them that the appointment would not work for me. I told her to cancel everything, but she said that the only person that could cancel things, was the salesperson, who owns the company. So I told her to have him call me. When he called, he said that he would have to charge me for canceling the appointment in less than 48 hours. I quickly pointed out that they hadn't scheduled the appointment with less than 24 hours notice, giving me no notice. After that, he promised to refund my money! It has been 2 weeks, 4 phone calls I've made, messages left, and them still not refunding my money (as promised)!! Don't trust them. They will steal your money, lie to you, and act as though their unacceptable actions, are your fault! Not a good company!! Outrageous prices, and no concern about the needs of the patient, or the massive charges that they have!! For your sake, look for someone better to assist you.
