“I joined Carol's caregiver support group 15 years ago. Carol is completely devoted to people seeking senior care guidance for loved ones. She gives no less than 100% all the time. When I needed to make big decisions regarding my Mom’s care, Carol was there to listen and understand. Carol gave me reliable resources, opened my eyes to the world of dementia and how to navigate the healthcare system. Carol connected me to an elder care attorney and gave me the confidence to move forward. I can’t thank Carol enough for helping me be the best caregiver I could be for my Mom, and for my mother-in-law.”

“I have known and been helped by Carol Raso for over 10 years. My late wife had Alzheimer’s and Aphasia – Carol guided me through the entire difficult timeline with advice and help on everything from selecting home care to placement in a memory care facility to financial advice. I give Carol most of the credit for making the entire process as smooth as possible. I could not have done it without her and would highly recommend her to anyone faced with the difficult decisions that must be made caring for a loved one with dementia.”

“Carol Raso has been someone for the past several years who has acted as my mentor, guiding light, and sounding board. She has listened when I needed advice or to just voice my worries to someone. She has provided resources, direction and friendship and done so with a sense of humor, something all of us need during our years as caregivers. I have given Carol's name to others who have needed direction, and she has always been happy to help. I continue to use her expertise and guidance. Thanks, Carol.”

Not sure where to begin? Let’s talk.
Sometimes the first step is simply talking to someone who understands.
Let’s start with a 15–20 minute phone call — a chance for me to learn about your situation, listen to your concerns, and answer any questions you may have about how I can help. This is a conversation to see if we’re a good fit.
