 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Could not be happier with Tera's help!  Her friendliness, knowledge, and professionalism all combine to produce a wonderful result.  We worked with her for over a year until our dad and his wife were prepared emotionally for this difficult step.  Tera was with us every step of the way.  She is well connected in the area and presented us with a number of excellent options.  We are delighted with the placement we chose, and cannot recommended Tera more highly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I highly recommend working with Tera and Assisted Living Locators. Tera was literally a godsend for our family during a stressful time. Tera is knowledgeable, responsive, thoughtful and kind. My brother and I, who both live out of state, needed to find immediate assisted living for our father after a hospital stay. Tera answered my call (on a Sunday no less) listened to our goals, budget and desired area. She even met us at the hospital to assess the situation herself before making recommendations. We were touring places the next day.  All were great options and Tera helped us weigh pros and cons of each and pick the best spot for our father. Since placement, Tera has checked in on our father, communicated with staff/caregivers and has been in regular communication with us over a month after placement. Tera’s follow up is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced-you can tell she truly cares!  We are so thankful we found Tera to help us with this process.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Tera was amazing! We had a very restricting set of criteria and a very small amount time to find a new home for our mother. Tera was recommended by some friends and I am so glad we called her. She was able to quickly guide us to a few properties that met our requirements. She coordinated the meetings and joined us for the tours. She knew what questions to ask and had valuable feedback. She even met us at the hospital to assist us with paperwork with our mother. We moved mom into her new home and she loves it! I absolutely recommend contacting Tera. She is amazing at her job and is a wonderful person.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I was looking for in home care for my dad who had some difficult challenges to work with. I had to call caregivers, transportation companies, physical therapy, medical equipment, insurance companies, lawyers and so on.. it was confusing and frustrating and very emotional on top of it. When i stumbled onto Teri Johnsons number, it was like i was given the golden ticket! She had an answer for every question i had,  she was fast in her redponses and it was obvious she has personal and professional experience navigating elder care. And she makes the tangled web of services easy to conquer. I got my dad the services he needed within a couple days and was able to get him out of a nursing home and bring him home to us where he can be cared for where he is most comfortable. With his family!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Tera went far above our expectations!  We had moved our mother from an assisted living to memory care on the same property.  BIG mistake!  We contacted Tera to help us find a new home with better care.  On Thanksgiving day we received a call from our mom's memory care, telling us that we had to come pick her up because she kept trying to escape and they couldn't handle her.  We asked Tera for assistance finding a reputable memory care and by Friday morning (the day after Thanksgiving) she had several places lined up for us to tour.  With Tera's help, we were able to find a wonderful new memory care for our mother and she was able to move in that Sunday.  There is no way we could have done this without Tera's help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I can’t say enough about Tera.  Feel free to contact me if you want some more detail.

My mom fell in early August.  I got connected with Tera through an out of town friend.  At first, I didn’t think I’d need support - broken hip, some time to get back up, etc..  but mom started a decline.

Tera was a frequent caller and visitor, even helping me with guidance on dealing through the hospital patterns. We started with group homes then progressed to memory care and finally hospice.  She bobbed and weaved with me as the unanticipated decline.

My mom passed and I didn’t need a placement - but Tera was there for 56 days helping me.  Time is precious and she wouldn’t take a dime from me despite my pestering.  True care about the person and family.  Rare these days.

She was/is a blessing.

Senior centers are communities where seniors socialize and receive supportive services customized to their cognitive and physical needs. They offer common areas for engaging and recreational activities, along with access to support that promotes independent living. Essentially, they provide invaluable programs and connections that allow seniors to maintain their independence and enhance their quality of life.

You might encounter the acronym ADL when looking into assisted living communities or during your consultation with us. Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are the fundamental activities a person needs to do consistently to live autonomously and maintain their self-care. Healthcare providers and assisted living centers often use them to evaluate a person's degree of self-sufficiency and the tier of support they may require. Simple needs could include light cleaning, while more significant support might involve help with activities such as bathing and feeding.

The most popular support for seniors is daily assistance, including dressing, hygiene, and meal preparation. In addition, medication management, transit, and tidying are other highly sought-after services. Through consistent engagement with their care professional, seniors experience emotional support and companionship.
