    "Ms. Bonita Plested assisted my son with housing and in home care. She has been very compassionate, understanding, supportive and professional. Thank you for your assistance in this matter and it has been an honor to work with Bonita Plested."

    "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."
