We are so appreciative of the evaluation and guidance Liisa provided us in such a compassionate and caring manner in our time of crisis. We know she is there for us as we will need to continue navigating this journey. - G. Peavey

I cannot thank you enough. After another fall, I knew I had to move mom from independent to assisted fast.You made it so much easier by quickly providing a report which compared three great options that met her needs with immediate availability. - R. Landers

The hospital gave us 24 hours to identify which of six rehabs I should move mom to. Within two hours, Liisa identified the top three and outlined pros and cons for each. What a relief. - C. Rheams

Liisa was an invaluable resource during my recent medical emergency. Thanks to her vast knowledge and very calm personality, I was able to get through without losing my mind. - A. Sanders

Mom’s dementia took a sudden downturn. She was living with me, but I needed to keep working. Liisa identified two affordable options and walked me through what we needed to do to get Mom there. - K. Roche

Being the only adult child living near my 95-year-old father is stressful. Liisa has given me first-hand, helpful guidance about hospital choices and procedures. Most importantly, she has enabled me to take care of myself by being on call so I can be truly off duty when I go on vacation. - J.A. Gale

I was in search of an assisted living facility for my 91-year-old mother, and I did not know where to begin or how I would have any confidence in my findings. Liisa Ogburn listened to my story, did the research, found a number of facilities that fit my parameters, and provided a clearly written multi-page report that answered all of my questions and included her findings, opinions, and recommendations. -P.
