"I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Johnson with three different clients. She is compassionate, creative and thoughtful. She works very well with family members in assessing the most pertinent needs of their parents and in addressing these individual needs. She is very knowledgeable in the field of geriatrics and in mental health with the elderly. I highly recommend Debra Johnson and Late Life Journey."

"It was so great to work with Montclair Elder Services. They were really fast to return my call, and gave our family realistic and very helpful advice for our aging loved one."

"I used Senior Alternatives when I moved back to the East Bay to spend more time with my aging father. While I was still living in New Jersey, I realized that I needed someone located close to Piedmont to assist with both the big picture as well as day to day home care issues. At the time, my father had early signs of Alzheimer’s as well as prior medical conditions. I had been told to look for a firm with both care management as well as home care, and looked at a number of companies. I chose Senior Alternatives based on the extensive experience and Masters’ level degrees of their care managers. They also pointed out their integration of care management and home care by pairing social workers with the home care being provided by the home care aides. I could not have been happier. My father got better medical care since they advocated and monitored everything, and they were able to adjust his medications and get him on some special ones for Alzheimer’s, which improved his quality of life, and reduced his dementia symptoms, too. Plus, they had excellent, sweet home care aides, and as my father’s Alzheimer’s got worse they were well-trained to be able to manage him. Toward the end, the care managers helped us deal with end of life decisions, enabling us to spend our remaining time focusing on him and not stressing out. "
