“The rate of employee caregiving is increasing, which presents more challenges for employers.

"My family and I recently worked with Kathy Thompson in placing our parents in a senior care/assisted living facility. When we started the process, we had absolutely no idea how or where to begin. We met with Kathy, and she was the blessing we needed in this venture. Kathy is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and well versed in senior care. She is very caring, thoughtful, and attentive to the needs of the family and those going into care. In a time of stress, confusion and overwhelming emotion Kathy provided some calm. She did all the legwork, research, and scheduling of tours to view various facilities that would fit our needs, comfort level and budget. If you ever need to explore senior care needs, I cannot recommend her enough. Not only is she extremely good at what she does, but she is also a genuinely good person."

- Matt W, Bethel Park

"I have known Kathy for over 11 years now. To say she is a kind soul would be an understatement. Kathy is good people, period! If Kathy is recommending a care facility for you or your family member, then she has thoroughly checked it out. I would not hesitate to put any of my family into her care. You have found the right person to help you."

- Michael O, Greentree

"I have had the pleasure of getting to know Kathy. She has always been so down to earth and truly cares about working hard for her clients. If you want someone who is personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and cares about the client first you will not be disappointed with Kathy! Thank you for everything, Kathy!"

- Alicia C, Delmont

"Kathy Thompson was a tremendous help with identifying the right fit for an assisted living facility for both my parents. She took the time to understand the requirements and desires of both my parents as well as us siblings and factor those into her recommendations. We needed to find a facility in very short order and Kathy was able to get us tours and interviews with 5 different locations in less than a week of our initial interview with her. Thanks to her help we were able secure the rooms and care needed for each, just a few days after the tour of the facility we ended up choosing. Thanks again Kathy for all your help and I highly recommend her services."

- Jim W, Upper St Clair

"I have known Kathy Thompson for over 13 years. She is someone who is extremely dedicated to her profession. She works tirelessly for her clients, striving to understand and address their unique needs. In addition, she exhibits wonderful caring and empathy for our senior population."
