My siblings and I first met Patti Sullivan when we were searching for an assisted living home for my mother. It was a difficult decision for us, and as the primary caregiver, I felt particularly guilty in making this move; however, Patti put my siblings and me at ease. She was very personable, and she impressed us with her knowledge and compassion.
We quickly knew that she genuinely cared very much about our mother and our happiness with the situation. She was very empathetic to the stress and pain my siblings and I were initially feeling, and she responded to our concerns in a way that made us feel so much better. Patti is also very personable.
During our initial tour of the facility, we were impressed that she knew every resident by name. She has a great deal of knowledge relative to dementia/Alzheimer’s. Patti knows the many ways these facilities operate to provide stimulation for residents in order to enhance their quality of life. After my mother moved into the assisted living complex, Patti kept in touch with us. This included sending us pictures and videos so that we could rest assured that our mother was happy and doing well.
I highly recommend Patti’s professional assistance in placing loved ones in a community that is best for them. Her knowledge of issues involving the elderly, such as dementia, and the communities that provide care, combined with her sincere compassion and personality, make her the perfect choice.

I met Patti Sullivan in May, 2019. My wife’s Alzheimer’s symptoms were progressing and she needed more care than I could safely give her in our home. It was a very confusing and frustrating time because there many options for long-term care. Friends had suggestions, but I was not comfortable making a decision with limited information.
I made several calls to Patti to discuss my wife’s situation. Patti was always available to discuss whatever was on my mind. She is a great listener and asks the right questions. As the weeks progressed, Patti understood my wife’s Alzheimer’s presentation. This was important because my wife’s care needs are very different from other people with the same diagnosis.
I had discussions with physicians, psychiatrists and social workers, but Patti’s understanding of how Alzheimer’s affects a loved one is the best of anyone. It was as if Patti lived with us for a few weeks. Although I was not aware at the time, Patti also has a special knowledge of the caregiver(s) and our needs and desires. I decided that a Long-Term Care facility with daily activities was the best for my wife.
Patti guided me through the process and explained the different levels of care that facilities offered. Patti conducted an assessment which went very well. When it came time for my wife to start her Long-Term Care, Patti guided us through each phase My wife’s transition went extremely well. She immediately joined in all the activities and is very happy
Patti kept me up to date during the transition and was always available. With Patti’s guidance, my wife’s transition to Long-Term Care for the best choice for both my wife and myself.
