"Bonnie Plested of Senior Care Authority is given the highest quality star rating. My path crossed with Bonita when my 80 year old husband was a patient at Plano Life Care in Plano, TX. I became acquainted with this young lady in March/April 2024. It was not until July/August that I really came to know Bonita. My husband was diagnosed with dementia. This necessitated caregivers 24 hours a day of which I learned that having caregivers was very expensive. I called Bonita shortly after Mike was diagnosed and she took over from there. Bonita goes beyond the call of duty. I told her what I was looking for. Long story short she went to work to help me find a place for beloved husband. In September I found a place for Mike. For us it was just what we needed. Bonita is a person who is dependable, loyal and trustworthy. She does not leave her client hanging, but walks through the hard times with her clients. Bonita knows her stuff and is a jewel. I give Bonita the highest quality star rating. I recommend when you need help that you contact Bonita Plested at Senior Care Authority."
