I’ll be able to refer my clients or callers who aren’t ready for senior placement, who can benefit from home care in the interim, or those who are looking for a recommendation or options.
Great presentation, was very thorough!
Love the statistics, they put things into perspective, great visuals, eye opening.
– Christie, Senior Care Advisor
Great information on risks to seniors, how to mitigate those risks and how caregiving by Assisting Hands can help.
Great presentation, a huge amount of knowledge and valuable information.
– David
Ruth really gave clear and concise information and details about the entire process.
I learned about a lot of things I didn’t know.
I especially like the amount of detail and statistics that she provided.
She was easy to listen to and delivered the message in a professional and friendly way!
– Nancy
I thought the presentation was very well thought out and insightful.
I learned a lot about the differences that affect men and women when it comes to certain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Dementia. It was also very eye opening to see and hear the statistics for who is more likely to suffer from strokes between men and women.
Ruth went above and beyond!
I could listen to her speak all day.
