“Excellence makes Dana my “go to” care manager.  Beyond total reliability, Dana becomes a fierce advocate if she detects any shortcomings in institutional or medical care.  I rest, assured of outstanding services for all senior clients and wards.”

Bill Koerner

Elder Law, PLC

“Dana has been a reliable source of advice, information, and sound common sense for me during the three years since the death of my husband, and has helped me to navigate those years alone.  So far in my senior life I have been very lucky that my health has been good, and I have been able to manage life in my own home.  I am glad I have Dana to help me, and will have her to rely on in the future.  I look forward to her regular phone calls to check on me, and enjoy her bubbly personality and delightful sense of humor.”

Patricia Bragdon

Client

“On a regular basis Dana shops for food, supplies, and other items.  She also schedules and attends the regular medical appointments for the resident.  She then reports to me on the results of the appointments.”

“In summary, there is a term used now, “Patient Centered Care”, that completely describes Dana’s approach to caregiving and management.”
