I was helping an elderly friend of mine find some assistance, and to be truthful, I didn’t know where to start.I knew Mike had a new company to help people like me and my friend so I gave Mike a call. It couldn’t have gone better.Mike was professional and knowledgeable, and helped my friend find exactly what he needed.

I met Mr. Mike through a mutual friend. I was searching for appropriate placement for an elderly gentleman who was no longer able to care for himself. Mr. Mike offered his services and proved to be a great resource. He was knowledgeable, patient, professional, and warm.This was a very stressful and overwhelming time for me and working with Mr. Mike removed a lot of that stress.He and his company have surely been a blessing!
