Ellen truly delights in what makes our mom special. She sees and celebrates her sensibility and wit. This genuine interest sparks Mom to the core, while Ellen attends astutely to more practical matters. ... We’re so thrilled to see Mom flourish again as an artist, and so very glad to have Ellen in our lives.

Ellen was the perfect person to help me with my aging-parents struggle. She has a gentle, soothing demeanor, but she is very wise and qualified. She really cared that I got better and stronger. She helped me process the truth and see the boundaries I needed to not be the victim.

Thank you Ellen. I don’t think I could have done it without you!

Ellen is a truly warm, compassionate person, with a wealth of experience working with older people in a variety of ways. She is a great resource, and can provide information on how to find, for example, appropriate housing or legal advice for seniors. She is a wonderful listener and her special concern for seniors and her gift of insight into their particular issues makes her especially qualified to help and advise both seniors themselves and their caregivers.
