Dementia Care Services
"Irene came to the rescue when we at a loss as to what to do with our grandma started advancing in her dementia journey. She helped us find a few affordable private pay facilities that she knew would be safe and comfortable for her. Irene set up the appointments for touring and communicated with us throughout. She's very kind, knowledgeable and compassionate and a godsend when we were at a loss."
