Testimonials
“My mother and I started working with Kathy in late 2007, after my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. My mother was a very independent woman and she knew she was losing her ability to do certain things and remember certain things. But she was scared. Kathy took baby steps, meeting my mother weekly, which resulted in a loving and caring relationship. My mom came to trust her and accepted guidance and recommendations. She really needed the reinforcement Kathy gave that everything was going to be okay and she was going to remain as independent as possible.”
