We never could have done this without you. We appreciate all the time, research, and AMAZING report and the wise guidance on moving forward!

Because of Aging Advisors NC, we were able to make an informed, compassionate decision under true crisis. We will not forget Liisa’s caring diligence during stressful times. - P. Barbour

Liisa’s report was so tailored to our family’s specific needs, financial, geographic and health-wise, as well as individual desires. She enabled us to compare Continuing Care Retirement Communities apples-to-apples, revealing a difference in costs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of our anticipated stay. In fact, there was a difference of over $600,000 in cost between the options we were most interested in. It’s an invaluable service. – J. Hearn

After another fall, I knew I had to move mom from independent to assisted fast. Liisa made it so much easier by quickly providing a report which compared three great options that met her needs with immediate availability. - R. Landers

Liisa enabled us to strategize ways to reduce private agency care for our dad, while also keeping him safe, saving our family $65,000/year. -MH

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

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

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.
