What would I do without the phone number of my care manager easily available in my cell contacts? How does Preferred Living Solutions assist me, and my family? “Let me count the ways…”
With late-onset Multiple Sclerosis, yet still independent in many ways, living in my own home with regular helpers most every day, Preferred Living Solutions, or PLS, has supplied what I need or request.
Since mid-2016 I’ve had excellent geriatric care manager from PLS in place. Almost ten years!!
Superb colleagues for me.
*Understanding my need for much information. *Researching with me so we’re both on the same page. *Delighting in physicians who are compassionate, knowledgeable, understanding and professional (I do screen closely…no gas-lighting allowed). *Being liaison between doctors (this IS a feat!!). *Positive communication and helps between care manager and family; they are there when we need them! And more, too. *Listening to my concerns. *Sharing laughter, stories and tears. *Being present for me, their client.
Thank you, thank you to founder Melanie, with special appreciation for my care managers Vivian, Amy, and now Megan my new care manager. All experienced persons in this specialized field, with open, understanding personalities supporting their respective expertise.
