By: Mary Cordova If your loved one suffers from dementia, there’s a very real possibility that — at some point — you’ll no longer be able to communicate with them. There’s a flood of emotions that come with this, not the least of which is the frustration that you’ll never be able to know what […]

Concierge Care Advisors.
My experience with Concierge Care Advisors was wonderful. Our advisor, Jennifer James could not have been more compassionate, concerned or committed. She was knowledgeable, kind and always accessible. She answered every question and worked tirelessly on our behalf navigating through a very complex and complicated medical infrastructure.
I’m not sure how we were connected with Concierge Care Advisors but we are thankful to the staff member at the hospital that passed our information along. We were connected with Kelsey and from the first conversation she was “on it!”. With in a week, she had identified and arranged for us to tour a handful of adult family homes. She was prompt returning phone calls and extremely helpful in guiding us through the process. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone. The experience was beyond 5*.
We were really in a bad place with my mom, and Marta found just the right solution in a very timely manner. If it weren’t for Marta, all of our lives would be much worse. Thank you Marta for finding the big WIN WIN WIN.
