Helen has been a great advocate and advisor for both myself and my elderly mother who was in the process of selecting and planning a move to an assisted-living facility. Since I live a few states away, she was very helpful in helping my mother choose a place and provided encouragement, reassurance, guidance and support as she navigated through the daunting and overwhelming process of leaving her home of 40 years when I wasn’t able to be there. My mother appreciated her warmth and understanding of her concerns during a difficult and scary time.

Helen is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and tactful with a delicate subject. She didn’t try to over sell. She made my father feel empowered. We got some good resources and we know what to do next.

At a time where our family felt so vulnerable, Helen was a voice of reason and clarity. Her guidance as we transitioned our parents from their home of 50+ years to assisted living was beyond helpful. We found an excellent new space for my parents to enjoy their next phase of life.
