Answers for Senior Care LLC

I highly endorse the services of Answers for Senior Care. Phil and Lily Hotaling bring their education, experience and passion for helping others to their client’s disposal in the overwhelming job of caring for aging parents. They made a very challenging move almost easy.
My mother is advancing into the middle stage of Alzheimer’s. She lived alone in Florida and managed ok until she broke her hip. The recovery escalated her confusion and memory loss to the point that a move needed to be made. Since most of her family lives in Colorado it only made sense to move her across the country. Mom is no different from any other senior facing change — she absolutely did not want to move from her home or from Florida.
I was referred to Phil and Lily through mutual friends. Lily is a licensed Care Manager and offers this service in addition to finding the right place for seniors. I was nervous about dealing with a Care Manager as my experience with them in Florida was awful. They can be expensive and more interested in promoting their referral services than the care of your family.
Phil and Lily are much different. During our first meeting they promised to find us the right home for Mom. They took the time to understand our situation and meet with Mom to hear her desires. Lily gave us several referrals to Assisted Living Facilities in the area of town we wanted. She met us at the facilities to tour them with us and answer our questions. She listened to our reactions to different traits of the homes then put us in touch with the perfect place.
Their service did not end there. Lily shared my fear that Mom would have a hard time adjusting to her new life. She worked with the facility Director to create a strategy to move Mom in so she would accept her situation. Lily also suggested hiring a companion to help Mom meet people and be active in her new community. She put us in touch with Elderlink where we were matched with an excellent temporary companion that eased Mom into her new home in a matter of weeks. Mom is so much happier now having realized how lonely her life had become living in her Florida home.
This transition was just as hard on me and my sister as we took charge of Mom’s life becoming the parent to our parent. Lily and Phil took us by the hand providing as much support to us as they did Mom. They made all this happen in a matter of weeks in the middle of the busy holiday season. We are so very grateful we found Answers for Senior Care.

Answers for Senior Care has been in my life since Jan 2015 when they helped me relocate my sister from Calif into a memory care center near my home here in Colo. This was a huge change for my sister and I with long term impact on both our lives. Phil & Lily offered immediate, comprehensive, and compassionate guidance to me – and are still doing so! Their knowledge base comes not only from their education and training, but from personal family experience as well. I was able to fly to Colo and view potential places hand picked by Phil & Lily and discussed by phone before my visit. Thanks to them, I was able to make an educated decision within a few days – they then gave me guidance regarding the process involved with relocating my sister, even providing referrals for wheelchair assist, etc. Almost 8 months later, I can report that my sister is settled and thriving in a lovely center very near me –the center is a huge part of my life now, too, and I firmly believe that Answers for Senior care is largely responsible for this happy outcome in the midst of extremely overwhelming and trying circumstances. Phil and Lily were and are an answer to my prayers.

We were blind-​sided when we found out my mom had early stage Alzheimers, and no resource was more helpful than Answers for Senior Care. Phil and Lily have hands-​on experience, a wealth of local knowledge and resources, and they sincerely care about the well-​being of their clients and their families. With their help, you are no longer making difficult decisions alone. We highly recommend this team for anyone who is taking care of an aging/​dementia parent, as you have immediate access to knowledge, consultative people who are professional, smart, and caring.
