What People Say About Elder Life Directions...
COACHING TESTIMONIALS:
"When my aunt moved to an assisted living facility, they suggested that I work with Judy to help me navigate through the procedures and regulations regarding elder care. Living an hour away and having limitations on travel, I decided to hire Judy. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
​
Over the last months of my aunt’s life, Judy was indeed a true lifeline. She bonded with and gained the trust of my aunt, something I am eternally grateful for.
If I had to go through this all over again, I would not hesitate to call on Judy."
– Michael, nephew
"I met Judy at a group information session for caregivers struggling with care issues and options for their loved ones suffering with dementia. I had talked to other care manager providers in the past, but Judy stood out for me. I appreciated her understanding of the issues and her calm thoughtful advice. Judy clearly had extensive relevant experience in the areas of my concern. She is a good listener and does not apply unhelpful pressure or bias. Judy provided me with knowledgeable care options, accompanied me at in-person care facility visits, but let me make my own decisions. She has continued to be there after final decisions were made and will provide ongoing support or advice as needed. I am grateful for her past and present assistance throughout this difficult time. Judy was (and is) a real and valuable partner in the process."
– Dennis, husband
"I hired Judy as an eldercare coach when a family member was experiencing a complicated hospital admission. I found Judy available for support and advice when I needed her. During this stressful period, she assisted me with strategies for addressing medical professionals and directing me to resources available for future planning. I highly recommend Judy as a sensitive, competent and caring eldercare coach."

STRATEGIC LIFE PLANNING TESTIMONIALS:
"Judy Dovev was extremely helpful and provided excellent service to my husband and I. In our early 80’s, we were facing the same issues of aging and were very reluctant to consider a retirement community.
Judy met with us regularly to get to know us, understand how we want to live, and ultimately came up with a plan for living at home for many years. This plan not only provides a long-range approach to our forthcoming years, but also flexibility to adjust to changes going forward."

LIFE MANAGEMENT TESTIMONIALS:
"As a solo ager without an extensive family support system, Judy helped me to focus in on areas where I needed assistance. She was able to interpret my long-term care insurance policy, organize my tax documents and evaluate my financial picture for future planning. When I made the decision to move to a retirement community, Judy provided emotional support, in addition to managing all aspects of the move. She helped build my confidence, enabling me to make sound decisions as I transitioned to my new home."
