Dana was an Angel for sure. She took a stressful situation and assisted my family with finding a facility for my mother. When the hospital took a stance to have mom discharged early, Dana was on it quick to calm them down and give us more time. Dana was very informative on all aspects of getting your love ones in the right place. Dana you are an awesome person and I would recommend your services to everyone on this planet so they too can navigate through the stress a lot easier. Five stars is not enough!

Dana is an absolute miracle-worker! I had 2 days to secure a new and fabulous living situation for my mom who had outgrown her assisted living facility. But truly it was Dana who was Herculean in her efforts as she had set up 7 different adult family homes for us to visit both in Gig Harbor and Olympia. She had researched them all and was so incredibly kind and patient with me. She assured me that I would simply know which one was right. And she was right! We found an amazing home and Dana was excellent at reassuring me about my choice. We moved my mom in and though it has been an expected transition, we are all so incredibly pleased by the level of care and joy that she is surrounded by.

We had to move fast in finding a home for a family member. Dana stepped in and performed “magic” in finding our family member a residential community to meet his unique needs. She also coordinated and helped him move his most critical possessions into his new home. She was awesome and performed miracles and the whole family was very appreciative. I would highly recommend Dana and these folks for those needing assistance in similar situations. Excellent Job!!!
