"I have known Angela Dickson for many years and she continues to amaze me. Angela has helped many seniors and their families with as much as she possibly can. She will do anything and everything in her power to help. I highly recommend this company!"
Mani Mortezai, Tailored Transitions
"About 5 years ago I hired Angela as a Care Manager to help with managing my mother's care. Angela described her work to me as 'like a proxy sibling', and that's exactly what she's been for me. If there is an issue, big or small, I call Angela. It could be arranging appointments, or even dropping off extra socks and health items. Most notable was when I got COVID and mom had a seizure at the same time. She also acts as a second pair of eyes seeing how my mother is doing, which I most appreciate!"
Alison, Family Member
"Families that want to start out slow and need help with managing their loved ones affairs, can work with a Care Manager to take some of that stress and weight off of them. Angela stepped in to help a family of mine do just that until she needed to transition to a memory care."
