Yolanda at A Way to Aging was absolutely amazing! She helped us navigate the tough challenges of caring for an aging parent and made everything so much easier to understand. From explaining Advanced Directives and POLST to guiding us on Power of Attorney and dementia testing, she broke down complicated issues into clear steps.
What really stood out was her compassion and attention to detail—she shared practical tips we never would have known, like where to place a POLST so emergency responders can find it. Yolanda truly cares, and it shows. We’re so grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone going through this journey.
Yolanda is more than a senior care placement specialist—she’s a trusted partner in one of life’s most difficult seasons. We cannot recommend her highly enough to any family facing the challenges of aging parents.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Way to Aging, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough, especially Yolanda, who provided exceptional support during a challenging time for my family.
Yolanda's attention to detail was remarkable as she conducted a thorough mental and physical evaluation of my mom. She took the time to understand my mom's unique needs, preferences, and lifestyle, which made all the difference in selecting the right living situation. Yolanda's expertise and compassionate approach ensured that my mom would receive the appropriate level of care while still maintaining her independence and connection to the community.
What stood out to me was Yolanda's genuine dedication to finding a solution that worked best for my mom. I am grateful for her support and highly recommend her services to anyone in need.
My father is aging and has challenges associated with his mobility and cognitive function. Yolanda was very helpful in offering suggestions to me regarding my dad and how to handle his decline. She is very experienced at dealing with challenges associated with aging parents and offers great advice!
Bottomline — If you’re looking for someone to help with any sort of elder care, call Yolanda. She is THE BEST!!
Our experience — My mom, in her late 80’s living alone, went blind overnight due a bad surgery outcome. At first, getting her the care she needed was fairly straightforward, because she was otherwise is good shape.
Then about 2 years later, her ability to function had great diminished, and it was clear that she needed more care. We tried finding new living arrangements, but it wasn’t going well.
That’s when Yolanda came into the picture — thankfully! She’s an experienced geriatric care manager who had managed a large assisted living facility herself. Perhaps more importantly, she’s an incredibly empathetic, clear-minded human being who gets things done.
Yolanda quickly (and painlessly for us) found a perfect place and took care of all the logistics of getting my mom moved and situated. A couple of years later, as mom's needs increased and the care was over-stretching family resources, Yolanda found another place that was again perfect for the new circumstances.
We have referred other family members and a friend to Yolanda, and all had similar experiences. Needless to say, a bunch of us are grateful that we have access to such effective and compassionate help.
