The 5 Best Geriatric Care Managers for Seniors in Fort Lauderdale, FL for 2025

"Someone to manage my mother's care who is loving, caring yet professional and knows how to assess my mother for the services she needs. "

"My mother had lived with me for over a year when she was sticken with a debilitating stroke. She make a remarkable recovery but still was not able to come back to my home. Since I work full time there was no way my teenage son could give her the care she needed so the hospital staff recommended John Knox Village. They called to introduce themselves after she was accepted and invited me to come over and tour the facility. It is simply an amazing little village. Her room would be decorated to her liking and there would be around the clock medical care if she needed. The village stresses mobility in the form of many exercises, activities inside and outside of the complex and urges residents to get involved with their imput if they want to. My mother is not like that though and she prefers to be alone which she is able to do. Her day is spent watching her soaps, reading her bible and getting her required therapy. I pay extra money to get her hair done by the hairdresser twice monthly as this is an extra cost. All in all the staff is very caring, they treat her with respect and the facility is extremely well maintained and in tip top shape. The culinary staff strives to have the freshest ingredients and is mindful of the dietary needs of the patients. There is also a chaplain on staff if he is needed. I feel very fortunate to have my mother there and highly recommend it. "

"Elite Senior Services helped me find an assisted living facility for my dad this past year. They were extremely helpful, professional, compassionate, and answered all the questions that I had about the process. The owner Sabra is my angel on earth and without her, I don't know how I would have gotten through this difficult time. I highly recommend this service "

"I have been a client of Age-Smart for 9 months utilizing their services of Care Management, and I have been well taken care of. The staff is very experienced and educated and can seamlessly handle any issue that comes up. When help is needed it is available day or night during the week and even on weekends. Some of the situations I have been helped with are finding good medical care, transport to appointments, finding appropriate housing, medication management and crisis management. I have been in situations where doctors or others involved in my care didn't listen to me or treat me properly, and Age-Smart stepped in. This is a company you can trust to act in your best interest at all times, and I wouldn't write this if I didn't mean it. I just know how the company has taken care of me. Your loved ones will be in good hands. "
