"I have witnessed how Nickie has and still helping my wife and her family with the process of placing my father in law in the right facility for him. Nickie’s responsiveness, guidance, and experience has made my wife and the family find some peace in the middle of the storm. We truly appreciate your help Nickie and for sure your name will be the first one we will share when we have friends or family going through a similar situation."
"I was introduced to CarePatrol by a Case Manager at the hospital, after an unsafe discharge of a loved one. Our situation was that we required a place that could provide around the clock care and we needed it fast. I reached out to Julie, who immediately shared my information with Nickie and I was contacted right away (on a Sunday nonetheless). Nickie jumped into action and provided me with more helpful information than any google search could have. I’ve never met a better “customer service” oriented person. The level of support she provides is truly concierge level. She had a network of resources that were ready to assist no matter the day or time. The next day I had a meeting at an ALF and a plan for what to do next. She’s shared info for a transport company, a Notary, an elder law attorney and others. I’ve already used them and they were super responsive. Nickie still follows up and continues to share resources and offer guidance for long term planning. I am going to be forever grateful to her and her team for shining light into a very dark tunnel. I can’t thank them enough for their support. If you have a loved one in need of assisted living and the services associated with elder care reach out immediately and you will not regret. Nor will you waste time calling hundreds of people."
