“We had struggled for over a year to find the right balance of care for my mother, who was generally healthy but had lost the ability to make good decisions about her personal care needs. After a series of falls and small medical emergencies, we were told about Elder Care Associates, and called them for help. Within a few days after her initial assessment visit, Lori O’Connor had identified the most critical needs and found a lovely live-in caregiver who fit our unique situation, and was sensitive to my mother’s uncertainty about having another person in her home. We can now relax and enjoy social time with our mother instead of constantly monitoring her meals, physical care needs and routine household tasks. Mom has gained weight, is better rested and has more energy, and is engaging with others instead of just her TV. Finding Elder Care Associates and the many services they have helped with, from outside professionals who will make home visits to a nurse on staff to help with medications on short notice, has been a lifesaver for us, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you sincerely from all of our family!”

“The live-in aide in my home is a self-starter, kind, caring, smart, has made a difference with Judy, has created a regimen that really works for my wife, crown jewel, miracle, such a professional, quick on the uptake, willing worker, vacuums and swiffers weekly, which he NEVER expected.”

Frees me during the time he is at Senior Moments and gives me support, knowing he is having fun and is well taken care for.I have told friends it adds to the clients life while providing needed respite for the caregivers.”

“I would like to thank you for all that you have done for my Mom over the last 3 years. You helped me achieve my goal of my mother spending her remaining years at home. I could not have asked for a better care giver. You really hit that out of the park. Best of luck in the future.”
– TW February 2018
“You have far sighted perspective for elder care. Senior Moments was a great place for my husband and he enjoyed the company and activities, even the food! While he was at the Center, I could do all my errands and housework, plus have a few hours of rest. I recommend the Center to everyone I know. Also, thank you for your support.”
– HK November 2017
“Please extend our gratitude to all of ECC. You all have been terrific throughout the years. You’ve been wonderful partners in caring for Dad, helping to enable him to be where he wanted to be, and to do so safely & happily. He, and we, appreciate every one of you.”

“Thank you for your caring Staff – they made it extremely easy to leave to get some time to ourselves to take care of our own responsibilities and know that Mom was still in good hands getting the best care possible.”
– September 2017
“My husband began at Senior Moments because he needed more socialization and activities but because of his limited ability to speak for himself and understand at times, he needed to also be in a safe, caring environment. I knew he would be well cared for at Senior Moments. Your staff made special efforts to adapt to his needs and provide alternate activities and opportunities for social contact. You were all so wonderful to him and I cannot speak highly enough of you and your staff. You were always professional, capable and compassionate. You gave timely feedback about his day and appropriate advice and recommendations as his condition continued to change. The personal attention shown to my husband was so appreciated and gave me comfort and much needed peace of mind, as well as time to take care of necessary errands, appointments and personal matters. It allowed me to continue to care for him at home as long as possible. When a change in care was needed, you and your staff at Elder Care Consulting assisted my family and me in the very difficult decision of nursing home placement. Your whole company has been an invaluable resource to us. You have always been ready to help when needed, providing expert advice, knowledge and compassion. I would not hesitate to recommend you and your company to anyone needing daycare, homecare or care planning for their loved ones. My word of advice would be to begin using your services before you think you need them, for both the patient and caregiver’s benefit. Thank you all for your kindness, compassion and support.”

“Senior Moments is a good place to go. We make crafts to show and they become ours to take home. It is fun to get together with everyone. The van transports us so the family doesn’t have to drive unless there is a problem. The meals are great and if it is something you don’t like, they’ll give you substitutions. Families can have a day off to do their chores and errands.”
– D.T. 2016
“Senior Moments has exercise and games. I like to talk and listen to conversations. The medical care is excellent. The Nurse checks our blood pressure and weight and takes good care of us. It gives our family Members time to babysit for grandchildren while I am attending. The Aides are very attentive and assist when walking to make sure I am safe.”

“We were at a complete loss at how to support our 95-year-old father-in-law after his wife (who took care of everything) died. None of the kids lived in town. Thank goodness we found Tracy and Elder Care Consulting. She took care of both routine and unexpected doctor visits, and immediately kept us posted on how he was doing. He wasn’t very communicative with us, so having her there to give feedback on how he was doing was a real blessing. If we were worried about him, she would stop in and check on him for us. We also hired an aide through Elder Care Associates to help out a couple times a week, and the aide kept an eye on him too. I was worried about the service might be too expensive, but Tracy was very efficient and the costs were much lower than I expected. And, when he did need a lot of care, it was cheaper than flying across the country to address the problem. He really enjoyed Tracy’s visits, and his last year of life was much healthier and happier than it would have been without her support. He was able to stay at home instead of going into a nursing home or other supportive care. I recommend Elder Care without reservation.”

“I would highly recommend Senior Moments to anyone!! My mom and I are more than happy with all aspects of the program. I just can’t say enough about it. My mom is safe and happy and well-cared for. I have never seen another facility equal to Senior Moments. I wish there were more facilities just like it for our elder citizens. It is so clean and odor free. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming, the staff knowledgeable and very caring. The activities are perfectly suited to keeping everyone engaged.”

“Eldercare has been a wonderful resource for our family. Eldercare case managers are compassionate, knowledgeable, and responsible in both good times and crisis situations. My father-in-law looks forward to their visits with trust and pleasure. I know that we can rely on Eldercare’s judgment and prompt responses. I wholeheartedly recommend their service both invaluable and a bargain to boot!”

“I sleep at night knowing my father is getting the best care available and that you continue to be a safety net for us both, as well as someone who has the medical knowledge to monitor my father’s needs. My only regret was in waiting till I became so overwhelmed to reach out to Eldercare for help.”

“Elder Care Consulting researched alternative living arrangements, organized the move, including facilitating the disposition of items to libraries and other charities. As a result my client is now comfortably settled in an assisted living. I have confidence in Elder Care Consulting and would not hesitate to recommend them to assess current living environments, assist elderly individuals in finding acceptable alternative living arrangement and help to oversee the entire move.”

“I have employed the services of Lori O’Connor and her staff for more then two years on behalf of my parents. I can sincerely state that Lori and her team have provided outstanding care and coordination of services. Elder Care Consulting provided a truly important detail-oriented medically knowledgeable,empathetic team that linked the separate elements of care into a functional “whole”.”
– RC Son 2006
“Elder Care Consulting was hired to do an assessment of my parents and then retained to provide elder care services. They exhibited a highly professional manner and easily identified priorities for us. They were able to streamline and provide management for the home health care workers, establish contact with the array of physicians for both parents, and communicate fully and precisely to my brother and I all points of importance. This brought great relief to my family.”
– LC Daughter 2005
“Lori helped our family by guiding us towards the specialized health services our mother needed. She arranged for home care, respite care, and eventual home placement for our mother. It was a most difficult time for us ‘children,’ but Lori was there for us, educating and supporting us emotionally along the way. It certainly is a traumatic experience to have a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s, but a person like Lori O’Connor is wonderful to have in your corner.”
