    "I got to know Harold when my mother became unable to care for herself after the death of my father.  Harold, was a terrific listener as I described her situation. It became very clear to me that Harold was extremely knowledgeable about Adult Living options and was the right person to guide us through this process.  He was patient and compassionate and always available whenever we needed him. With Harold’s help, we found the right community for mom and she is extremely happy there.

    I would highly recommend Harold to anyone needing the kind of help that he specializes in."

    “Harold assisted my brother and I with the grueling task of finding an assisted living location for my mom. He was so caring and understanding of our financial issues and my mom’s struggles of leaving her home that she lived in for over 40 years. He did research to make sure that the assisted living communities not only met our financial needs but also my mom’s needs which even included being able to retain her dog.”

    "Harold listened. He listened to what I wanted for my husband who is ailing from Parkinson’s Disease, and he brought me to a solution that fit my expectations and budget. His kindness and compassion helped me and my family make a difficult decision. It took a year for us to move my husband into the residence Harold found for us because he was not ready. During that interim, Harold checked in with me regularly, not in an intrusive way, but in a caring way. And when the time came, Harold was there to ease the way. Thank you. Namaste, Hazel"
