Kind Words
“While working in the home care industry, I have collaborated with Meg Pemberton for Geriatric Care Management services with several shared clients. Each of the clients under Meg's care received prompt advocacy and follow-through on barriers to quality of life. Meg was not only a presence in the medical aspect of the client's life, but she was also concerned for and ensured emotional and mental well-being for each of her clients. I witnessed many times the professionalism and expertise that Meg brought to a challenging situation which would end in a positive outcome for our clients. Working alongside Meg has been a pleasure, not only because of her knowledge of the field of geriatrics, but because she has a true heart for service. I look forward to our continued partnership and advocacy for a population that deserves the best.”

“Meeting with you [Meg] 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.”

"Meg... You have been an absolute God send for our family. We will never forget how you've supported our Dad and our family through what has been a few pretty tough years, thank you doesn't quite do it"

If you are looking for someone to help you navigate life with an aging or disabled relative or friend, contact ElderCare! Valerie and Meg are warm, professional, knowledgeable and so, so helpful to caregivers.
My mental health improved 100% once we engaged them as a resource. After each appointment with my sister, Meg provides a detailed, observant report on her physical and mental health and well-being and is easily available for follow-up questions. She has a warm relationship with my sister, who very much enjoys her visits, even when Meg is urging her to move more! She is also a great liaison between us and the staff at the long-term care facility.
I can't recommend ElderCare highly enough!

Meg has eased my mind and warmed my heart because of the care she has given my mom. Before Meg, I was in the dark & guessing what was happening with my mom. She is a great link & intelligent life force for me since I'm caring for my mom in another state. I don't know how I would survive without ElderCare Connections.
