My aunt was suffering from end stage dementia, and Courtney and her staff helped me with all facets of her care: taking her to Dental Appointments, accompanying her for visits to the bakery, giving her someone to talk to as a friend other than the caregivers and our family, which she really enjoyed. Courtney would periodically reassess the care plan, a professional review that I valued greatly, and determined when changes were needed: making sure the caregivers were including activities that my aunt enjoyed; when my aunt needed more intensive medical attention, she found a doctor who would come to the house; when it was not safe for my aunt to remain at home, she helped us ease my aunt’s transition to a Memory Care Facility. It was difficult for someone like me with no training with dementia and related issues to make the right decisions, but with Courtney’s vast knowledge, professionalism, network of providers, and kind counsel, I was able to make good, informed, and hard decisions, which enriched my aunt’s life as much as possible. I would recommend Courtney Lavander’s services to anyone that needs help with any elder care issue – she is amazing!
