"I appreciate that your last
e-mail addressed all the important points. But the thing that
has me sitting here all teary is that your report captured
Dad. I felt as if I were right there hearing my
dad being himself. That's the guy who is my father, comfortable
in his life, taking pleasure in the simple activities of life,
and in being needed. . . I can't imagine how we could manage to
support dad's choice to remain in California if it weren't for
your agency. April has been wonderful to work with and very
perceptive of everything involved in our father's life. We are
so grateful to have April as dad's advocate and our eyes, ears,
(and legs!) on the scene. ”

"April, it was very reassuring to
meet and talk with you in person after working with you long
distance for some time. I am even more thankful that we have you
there for Dad as we are so far away. Thank you!”

"April became a trusted resource for our family as
we watched my brother’s slow decline. He got to know April well.
She was his advocate and she was kind and generous and
thoughtful. My brother’s face would light up whenever they were
together. We depended on her insight and wisdom as we all worked
together to make sure that he was cared for well. April helped
arrange for my brother to move away from San Diego to a
residential care facility near me, as his illness progressed.
When my brother died, one of the first persons I contacted was
April because she had become a special part of our family."

"I can't tell you how much time you have saved all of us with your knowledge and level of expertise in this situation. I know personally you have been a life saver."

"When our mother became unable to
take care of herself, my brother, husband, and I relied on Betsy
Evatt of Senior Care Management, Inc.. We were too far away to
help Mom ourselves and were very fortunate to have the personal,
professional, and friendly care Betsy gave our Mom."
- Cathy A., Cupertino, CA
"When my brother was living in San
Diego, my sister was the primary family member caring for him,
initially from San Francisco then from Nashville. But of course
she needed someone in San Diego who could make sure he was
properly cared for, take him to doctor appointments, and
communicate with us about his needs. April provided that care
and in the process developed a close friendship with him.
April's care provided us the peace of mind and confidence that
his needs were being taken care of by someone who loved him.
Thank you, April."

"I spend many hours
in the company of senior citizens, as I too am a senior, and one
constant complaint I hear often is the fear and confusion
experienced by many elderly who live alone and have no one present
to assist them in filling out papers or explaining the services
available to them.
When Betsy Evatt came into our lives, I too was one of those
bewildered individuals. Betsy, not only with her calming presence
but with her knowledge and experience in caring for seniors' needs,
quickly and easily extracted me from a sea of confusion and has
given my family and myself a calming assurance that 'all is well
with our world.' Thank you, Betsy, you were a godsend."

"As usual, your care
and concern is both personal and professional. Over the past two
years the level of help, support, extraordinary service and
emergency actions has proven itself time and time again. The
coordination of the move of my mother from home heath care to
assisted living was done smoothly and seamlessly; especially so as
my wife and I were out of the country at the time. My mother had
nothing but nice things to say about how you managed this very
difficult transition."
- Jeff G., Palo Alto, CA
"It was good to see
you at the services for Dan... Your thoughts and approach to
working out his care arrangements, as well as your personal
relationship with him, was certainly helpful to Dan and to me.
Thanks again for everything."
- Bill T., Los Angeles
"Given my mother's
advancing age and frailty, the knowledge that someone knows and
cares about her and visits her regularly, acting as her advocate
and interfacing with the medical and social work establishments,
not to mention the retirement facility she lives in now, has been
an invaluable source of comfort and reassurance to me, especially
since I live several thousand miles away on another continent. And
having met and corresponded with Betsy, her care manager over the
past several years, I am extremely grateful for the level of
personal care and concern which she shows to my mother, who I know
has formed a very meaningful attachment to her. This is a
wonderful service."
