Report
Placement Counselors help me find a caring place for my dad. It was a difficult transition for our family but we knew it was the best thing for him as his dementia was advancing and it was difficult for us to provide the care he needed. I am very grateful to Humberto, he is very knowledgeable and patient in helping us find the right fit for my father. We now have peace of mind that my dad is in good hands. Thank you Humberto.
