Kind Words
"ElderCare Connections helped me navigate the Medicaid application process, along with getting a family member admitted into a long-term care facility. Rachel is amazing. Her experience and knowledge made such a big difference. Not only did she help with the whole process, but it's clear she genuinely cares about all of her clients and their families."

"Rachel and her team at ElderCare Connections have been invaluable in guiding us and working directly with facilities, doctors, and other professionals to get the best care and accommodations for our elderly parents. From planning and coordination through managing health crises and emergency room visits, Rachel, Michelle, and Katy have been professional, respectful, supportive, and efficient. I highly recommend ElderCare Connections to anyone looking for assistance in finding the best care for elderly family members."

"I cannot express my gratitude for the way ECC was there for me and my sister. Rachel's attention to details and her knowledge and experience was invaluable. From her medical and and Medicare expertise was far and above what I expected. I could write a book on how satisfied I was with my overall experience. Thank you Rachel and ECC."

"Thank you again for all of your help with my parents. All of the information and your frank, but gentle way of delivering it was perfect. It will give me something to reference as we begin to make changes, both immediate and long-term, and also the confidence to move ahead even when it may be difficult. I will not hesitate to contact you as questions and issues arise."

“Meeting with you felt like a catharsis for two very tired caregivers (and it was) but in reality, it was your clear and succinct grasp of what RS needs and how to go forward that remains in our minds. Meeting with you is one of the best decisions we've made in our years caring for RS. You have given us new tools for decisions that need to be made & with the knowledge that we can have you to turn to if we need future advice.”
