"My siblings and I are eternally grateful for the wonderful care, and help
Meg and Pat provide to my Dad. They can do everything from accompanying my Dad
to doctor appointments, checking on his medications, liasing with the assisted
living facility, dealing with insurance issues, and just checking in on him and
spending time with him. They are warm, giving, efficient, and organized. Dad
LOVES them, and we could not be happier with their services."

"I just recently lost the love of my life. The help of our
Geriatric Care Manager was a Godsend!! She not only helped us get the right
diagnosis and care by helping us find the right doctors, but she helped us find
the appropriate home health aides, interview hospices, came to doctor
appointments to help us better understand choices we needed to make. She paid
frequent visits to us, made calls to insurance companies about bills and helped
find respite for me. I really only had to make one call to her for our needs,
and she handled the rest. Michael was able to stay comfortably at home. She made
a difficult situation more manageable. Thank you Meg and Halcyon Elder Care!!!"

"When our mom became ill, my family and I were poorly prepared for quickly finding a suitable place to handle her now substantial requirements. We feel very fortunate to have found Halcyon Elder Care. They immediately organized the search, and found a facility that we didn't even know existed. This facility FAR exceeded our expectations.
We came to view the staff at Halcyon as members of our family. The care and concern they showed regarding mom's care and emotional well-being was greatly appreciated. Any questions or concerns we had were immediately addressed. If they could not answer a question themselves, they would direct us to someone in their substantial network who could.
They set up a schedule of periodic visits to mom to assess her medical, emotional, and physical state. Mom seemed to love these visits. Each visit was followed up by an extensive report detailing their findings, and containing suggestions to help us better direct her care. We always felt comfortable with the assessments made by Halcyon's staff, and always followed up on their suggestions. They even brought balloons and flowers for mom's birthday.
We have and will continue to HIGHLY recommend Halcyon Elder
Care's services to anyone who needs any type of assistance with an aging or ill
parent or spouse. Their knowledge, care and professionalism eased, for us, what
could have been an unbearable situation."

"Alzheimer's is a terrible disease. When it strikes family, it
can steal the very existence you've ever known. The expertise and emotional
support of Meg and her staff have provided while I help my parents cope with
this illness has meant the difference between merely surviving the crisis and
finding a true quality of life for the time remaining...."

"Meg is professional, knowledgeable, resourceful and caring.
As both my brother and I live in California, having someone we trust nearby --
to oversee my mother's care providers and coordinate her medical care has been
absolutely invaluable. Meg always goes the extra mile in looking after Mom's
best interests. Most importantly, Mom really likes and trusts her. She knows Meg
is someone she can count on."

"Meg was an indispensable and loving helper/care manager
during major life events for our family. She was a strong advocate for my mother
through a maze of health care providers. She was a comforting sounding board for
me as we made major decisions. She was always there when we needed her, and we
will always be indebted to her for her compassion, hard work, and expertise."

"My wife and I have found Halcyon Elder Care able to quickly
solve just about every problem that comes up, whether it's obtaining a home
health aide, working our way through the insurance issues, dealing with
physicians and other health care providers, or arranging care management
services for my brother 3,000 miles away. Meg knows her specialty field. She has
made life easier for us."
