    "CarePatrol was the best phone call I made when needing assistance for my FIL who fell suddenly ill. Debbie was a great advocate and liaison between the hospital, the assisted living facility and us. She was always available whether it was the evening or weekend. Kris was also very helpful and positive on our site visit to the facility. I can’t say enough about the CarePatrol team of Baltimore!"

    "CarePatrol has guided me through a very difficult series of decisions with compassion, expertise and patience. I simply could not have survived the last month without Paula Sotir's support, and I continue to rely on her advice through the very stressful process of finding care for my husband. She, and her colleagues, have been by my side every step of the way. CarePatrol was able to pinpoint the facilities (there are SO many to choose from!) that would provide the best option for our needs, and literally walked me through the process. I have no reservation recommending CarePatrol to anyone facing the search of care for a loved one. You will be well taken care of."

    "They were great from start to finish. Besides helping find a great place for my Dad they also helped us with our billing, insurance and so many other questions we had and continue to have. Will recommend them to anyone who needs help finding a great place for their loved ones."

    Michael L.4 weeks ago

    "Our experience with CarePatrol was excellent. They were caring and supportive from the first call getting to know our needs to settling on an assisted living solution. They helped in suggesting appropriate solutions, setting appointments for those that had availability and most importantly accompanying us on the tours. Linda was an expert on what to ask and look for. It was a blessing to have their experience at a time that we had no idea of what to do and where to go."

    Ann D.5 weeks ago

    "I am incredibly grateful to have been referred to CarePatrol. I was floundering trying to find memory care for my mom. Within a week of working with the wonderful Kathy, I had my mom placed in an amazing home only ten minutes from my house. My mom is doing great with the transition and I can't say enough great things about the staff caring for her. Thank you, Kathy. Thank you, CarePatrol, for helping me find this place and giving me a peace of mind I have not had in two long years! "
