“Bridget and Careplan were the single most important factor in helping me with my peace of mind as I was going through a very long process of taking care of my mother. They asisted me through her transition from her home to rehab, and finally to hospice. The guidance I received helped me wade through the incredibly confusing waters of the geriatric care system. Bridget’s knowledge of Medicare and Medicaid, and her personal experience with regional nursing homes, helped me make all the right decisions for my mother in an appropriate and timely manner. Without Careplan, and Bridget’s thoughtful assistance, I would have never known how to help my mother through this very challenging time. I recommend Careplan without reservation!”
