"Dear Maria,
Nicole and the staff I met when I went and visited are so very nice and helpful. It has everything that I believe will take care of Pat's needs and she will be happy there. I prayed and prayed about this and (the community you showed us) kept coming back to me so I believe it is the right choice. I thank you so very much for helping me and being so kind. May God Bless you abundantly for the services you provide to people who need help and just for being the kind of person you are."
Love In Christ,
Sandra

"To whom it may concern:
I have now been a resident of Dunwoody Pines for almost 2 months and feel comfortable writing about it.
The person who helped us (my daughter and I) find Dunwoody Pines was Susan. She gave us a full tour of the facility along with the staff and answered any questions we had in an informed and timely manner. Susan help us choose a place that I enjoy being a part of. The managers, kitchen staff, housekeeping, etc. have been very hospitable and made me feel comfortable.
I believe Susan aided my family and myself in making the right choice for me to become part of Dunwoody Pines."
Sincerely,
Mario

Thank You!"

"Maria,
I just want to thank you for your help and insight into our search for locating a proper place for my Mom and Dad. You are a wealth of information and you really narrowed our search down to appropriate facilities.
Without your help, I know Dad would have not made the decision to move forward into an assisted living community.
If I can return the favor by providing a reference for you, I would be most happy and honored to do so. I may be calling you if I have further questions as we get my parents settled.
Thank you again."
Sincerely,
Steve

"We have been so pleased with the home you recommended and everyone there. Dad has settled in and really likes the place. Each and everyone there have gone out of their way to make things as easy as possible.
We moved him the weekend of May 14th. The hardest part of the transition was his understanding of why he couldn’t go home – but transitioned out of that state of mind fairly quickly. Mainly due to the fact that Summer’s Landing has been so good to him. He realizes he has independence but also the care he needs. The activities director gets them out often and he really enjoys that as well.
Sid and I thank you so much for helping us through all this – the initial move was difficult and emotional but overall we really believe he is in a better place for him and for us. We see him often and that has really been a blessing."

"Hi Maria,
Just a note to follow up on your December 2010 referral.
I wanted to let you know that I continue to be very pleased with the personal care home run by Nancy and Prince. My Aunt is well taken care of and is probably being very spoiled. I believe that they go above and beyond to make her happy.
Thank you again for your assistance in finding this placement."

"Susan and Maria,
I highly recommend Susan and Maria and their business helping people like myself find a suitable assisted living home for their parents.
Since I am new to Georgia and did not know who to speak with or where to look first and like many I have not been in a situation where I have had to find a place for my aging father.
Susan and Maria's services could not have come at a better time. Their prompt and reliable service was wonderful and after looking at four places in the Duluth area I found a place Susan highly recommended the first day.
If anyone else would like a recommendation I highly recommend their service."
Thanks again, Carol S.

"All too often the only letters a business receives regarding their service is in the form of a complaint. Today I decided to do something a little different and provide some positive feedback.
Maria de la Guardia was a gift given to me by the hospital social worker as the discharge date approached for my oxygen assisted, very forgetful (did I take my pills already?) father-in-law.
With only my guesswork regarding his income and what he might manage to afford for assisted living arrangements, she told me she'd call back soon with some options. When her call came thru, I was in the admissions office of the Nursing Home that had unexpectedly agreed to be his new home, for what I believed to be at least 100 days. Declining the offer to see 3 Personal Care Homes she'd found within 5 miles of my home, I kept her number for any possible future needs. On the 40th day of my father-in-laws existence at the nursing home from hell, I was told his Medicare insurance would end in 2 days and thus began his out-of-pocket charge of $154.00 per day. I was able to tour a facility 5 miles from my home less than 24 hours after I reconnected with Maria the following day.
There's much more to the story of this sad, poorly treated fellow that my frantic search centers around, but no doubt, only good has come from Maria's guiding help. Not only has she helped my family place our loved one in a caring, nurturing place, but she helped me keep my sanity at a time that found it somewhat questionable.
Anyone with eldercare housing needs would be well advised to allow her to help out. Priceless!"
Sincerely,
Vickie, Lawrenceville, GA

"I was referred to Assisting Living Locators after calling many numbers and constantly being referred from one person to the next. My mother was a resident in an assisted living facility in GA. I live in NJ and our family was faced with a 30 day notice to find another home for mom because she no longer met the requirements of residing in an AL environment.
Desperate, angry and nervous I was passed from one organization to the next till I happened to connect with Maria. She listened and started offering solutions and options. After many different ideas and suggestions I was able to find light as well as direction at the end of thetunnel.
I couldn't have done it without her!"

"Assisted Living Locators has been a terrific organization to work with. I don't know what I would have done without them to assist me in sorting through the many decisions to help my son. Maria has been an invaluable resource, a great sounding board, a very knowledgeable and upfront source generator. Having gathered the criteria I am seeking, she skillfully does her homework in checking out situations.
I very highly recommend this organization and the caring people who work for Assisted Living Locators.
I would not hesitate to refer them to friends, relatives and/or anyone I came across who could use their services."
Sincerely,
Eileen, Cobb County, GA
