TESTIMONIALS

Elaine Stants

I am so gratful for Brenda Bates consistent help with home Care for my critically ill husband ,who sadly passed away this morning after a 3 week battle with agressive cancer and finally needing Hospice House care. While trying to take care of my very sick husband I got to a point where I didn't know where to turn. Brenda knows her stuff and at no charge to me shared her knowledge, and persistently worked with me to get the right kind of help.

On July 13, 2022, Brenda called and I informed her that we needed her help ASAP! It just so happened that Brenda was at a conference. She spoke with the Director at Encompass. The Director spoke with my brother and Grace was accepted at this phenomenal Acute Rehab Hospital. Grace was walking in 3 weeks and ready for a Memory Unit. The Case Manager at Encompass facilitated an Agent to take my brother to various Memory Units. Brenda had suggested the American House in Lutz. Brenda did not receive the credit that she deserved. Brenda exemplifies compassion, professionalism and dedication. Please know that we are eternally grateful for all of Brenda’s help.

Heather made an overwhelming task of finding a place for dad in Florida, when my brother and I lived several states away a lot less intimidating. She is a compassionate professional who has gone above and beyond to help understand dad's needs and wants. She worked around our busy schedules to make herself available for all our questions. The education and guidance provided during this process has been invaluable. She is a top notch senior care advisor.

Heather has been helping me with finding assisted living for my brother for the past couple of months. She presented several options with virtual tours, contact information and online brochures that I could share with family. She is very knowledgeable and was very patient with my many, many questions and was always able to assist. I highly recommend My Care Finders if you are searching for a place for your loved one.

Heather was referred to me by the VA in searching for a place for my father in a care facility- she was extremely responsive, caring, fast with information, answered questions and awesome follow through to the end. We were able to get him in a facility in about 5 days-even with COVID. She is truly good at her job and it shows!

Fantastic experience. Needed to find assisted living for my dad back in November of 2020. Tried to work with A Place for Mom. All I got was a long list of places to try to evaluate from 2,000 miles away. Heather, on the other hand, had my dad placed the next day. She and her husband certainly simplified an overwhelming process. Thank you.

I was having a very difficult time when I had to find my mother a memory care facility. One place just started emailing appointments and time. Two appointments a day with income and live in facilities. I was so overwhelmed! Then Heather with My Care Finders called. What a difference she made in the compassionate, caring, and thoughtful way she helped me and my mother. She was so quick to respond even on her time off. I am so pleased with the facility she found for my mom and mom absolutely loves it there, she has made so many friends and there are constantly different games with prizes, root beer float parties or ice cream sundae parties. A movie room, library, even a beauty salon and so much more. Thank you Heather, I will refer My Care Finders any chance I can.

We just moved down from NY and had to find an Assisted Living facility for my dad. We had never been here before nor had any idea where to start. Brenda was AMAZING! She gave us great choices and walked me thru the process. My dad is now very happily at home at The Savannah Grand of Sarasota. Thank you Brenda.

David Hartley

I can’t say enough about the care and help we received from Heather…I called frantic on a Wednesday late afternoon desperate because my mother was being dismissed from the rehab she had just arrived at the day before because it turned out to be a dementia issue..,We were beside ourselves…Heather called me back within a few minutes and calmed me down and never left our side thru tours….phone calls and everything else in between …and by Friday she helped us to make one of the hardest choices we had to make and do so with minimal guilt…we will be forever grateful.

I was recently referred to Heather at My Care Finders when I needed some assistance and advice regarding assisted living placement, Medicaid Waiver program and a referral to a local Elder Care Attorney for my mother. Frankly, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed as there is a lot to consider. Heather could not have been more professional, knowledgeable and genuinely caring! Heather helped me to navigate a lot of information and was always there to take my calls. Heather put me in touch with a wonderful local elder care attorney and we were able to tour a facility we are considering for future placement for my mother. I highly recommend My Care Finders if you need assistance for a love one!

Searching for Independent Living, Assisted, & Skilled care was overwhelming. So many things to think about & worry about like insurance, finances, safety, location, Accreditation, until I found Care Finders. What a wonderful service. We were connected with Brenda Bates. She is compassionate, very knowledgeable about Senior Living. Brenda was very responsive to all my emails, text messages and phone calls. Brenda met with us & we toured 3 facilities in Bradenton & Sun City Center. After touring 2 facilities with my parents. They chose a place that fit their needs. We could not have done this without Brenda & Care Finders. It was a pleasure meeting with Brenda! Keep up the great work!

Heather was very thoughtful and considerate in my needs in helping me find an assisted living facility. I had a lot of demands and expectations and she helped fit the bill. I would highly recommend her to help navigate and finding a new home!

My aunt recently decided it was time to explore moving into an assisted living facility. A major life decision made more difficult by her being a widow and not having family in the area. While I was happy to help my aunt find a place she could be comfortable, independent and have access to immediate quality care close by, I was coming from out of state and not familiar with the area. Robin Kennedy was the perfect person to help us find the best place for my aunt to call her new home. Robin's insight, professionalism and compassion were evident in her efforts to help us find the right place in a timely fashion. Thank you Robin. Our family greatly appreciates your passion and integrity!

I would like to formally and sincerely express my gratitude for the amazing assistance that was provided by Heather Cartright-Tetrault, CDP Owner/ Senior Care Advisor with Care Finders which she demonstrated the highest level of accountability and dedication in selecting both an Assisted Living and Memory Care facility for my mother.

I had the pleasure to meet with Heather back in 2019 when I needed assistance to locate an ALF that would meet the needs for my mom. As of 2021 I had reached out to her again in helping me find a new facility that offered Memory Care. Heather’s diligence, dedication and enthusiasm resulted both times in finding two exceptional facilities.

Heather’s admirable qualities are impressive which I value tremendously. Her seamless abilities guided me through the selection process with a positive outcome in locating the right facilities that would grant my mother the best level of care in such a caring environment with such impeccably high standard of care, delivered with such warmth.

As of today, due to Heather’s actions, they have directly impacted the betterment of mom’s wellbeing and I will always cherish and value whole heartedly the amount of time she invested which resulted in such a positive outcome.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for having had the opportunity not once but twice for the exceptional quality of service Heather provided and I am genuinely grateful and blessed for all that she has done. Heather is one in a million, and our God sent Angel of Love.
Sincerely, Linda McKelvain and my mother Nancy Iacono

Robin Kennedy did a fantastic job referring me to several facilities that met my wishes. When I wanted to visit a potential new home, Robin scheduled and greeted me at the facility. Once a decision was made, Robin helped me find a trusted realtor. The coordination between Robin, the facility and the realtor made the move to my new home very smooth

Brenda was such a Godsend,as I was navigating a place for my dear friend to move,as her illness got worse & she could not stay by herself amymore.Brenda new all the properties & helped me narrow down the places that met my friends very strict criteria.I honestly don't know,what we would have done or where we would have ended up,if it was not for Brenda.If you have anyone in your life,that is looking for the next phase of care,you have to get in touch with Brenda!She really listens to your needs & is the best!!

Julie Holbrook

I worked with Allie who went above and beyond for me. Honestly I was scared looking for care I needed for myself. Allie Hanson cut through tons of red tape and found a ]lace that would be appropriate for a younger person. She even checked on me after I moved in. Thank you so much to My Care Finders.

Joan Kagan

Brenda Bates was beyond helpful to our family. Our family can't say enough positive statements about this care professional. We were communicating from Vermont to Florida. Brenda found the perfect place for our father who has dementia. She followed through with everything needed, kept us up to date, and always responded to my phone calls in a timely manner. You won't be disappointed with her professionalism. Brenda definitely knows a lot about all of the senior facilities. You can tell she loves what she does. Five Star All Around!

Ms. Heather is by far one of the most professional members of the health care community. She was always available to our needs, questions, with giving us confident in guiding us through this very difficult time of placement for our relative. Your are a bright star and we thank you Heather for your support and diligence.

Elizabeth

I wanted to thank you for your recommendation for the Memory Care community for my dad. The community is lovely and the care he receives is great! The activities person makes extra effort to take dad to activities, in which he thoroughly enjoys even though he doesn't remember them later! All and all, it has worked out.

My husband and I just moved to Florida at the end of June and I wanted to find an assisted living facility for my mother so she would be closer to us. I was very fortunate to have someone recommend My Care Finders to me and even more fortunate to work with Heather. From the start, she was compassionate, knowledgeable, and responsive. In my mom's last placement, I had to do all the research and coordinate all the visits to the different facilities. It took a lot of time to find the right one and I had no idea about assisted living homes or what to expect, and I could only rely on the people working at each facility to answer my questions. This time, it was so helpful to have someone to coordinate the visits to the different facilities and select them based on our interests and requests. I also loved that Heather was the point of contact for each placement until we made our decision. She was a neutral party and could answer all of my questions without bias. We also needed to find a lawyer since some of my mom's legal paperwork was in another state and we needed to update it since she would now reside in Florida. Heather recommended an outstanding attorney who helped us to update all of the legal paperwork. On August 27th two months to the date, we moved here, we will bring my mom out to one of the best places I have ever seen for assisted living. We could not have done this without the help and guidance from Heather. Having someone who was our advocate to get the best placement my mom made all the difference. Thank you Heather for your support we are extremely grateful.

How to improve: My experience has been positive and my only feedback is to make sure people are aware of this service. I had no idea when I moved out here.

My brother and I met Heather under difficult circumstances as we tried to find an appropriate living arrangement for our father. She immediately offered her extensive knowledge, but more importantly, she exhibited deep concern for our situation. She was very supportive and understood our emotional turmoil. When my dad's health quickly deteriorated, Heather's "job" would seem to have been over, but instead she was as supportive as ever. She had known us for less than a week, and yet we felt her real connection to us. She was receiving no compensation, yet she remained involved to help us through one of the most difficult times in our lives. Heather reminded that decency and compassion are virtues that we all need, but cannot always find. Truly, I don't know what we would have done without her highly professional, yet sympathetic, approach to our painful experience. I could not recommend Heather with My Care Finders more highly or sincerely.
