William is worth his weight in gold when it comes to navigating the confusing difficult world of caring for an aging parent. He is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and seemingly able to leap tall buildings to get things done. I honestly don’t know how I would have managed this process without his kind guidance. From helping to get urgent rehab facilities to cooperate and send paperwork (which is no small feat let me say) to choosing a facility to explaining hospice care and Medicare etc, he was always there for us without fail. Do yourself a favor and hire him from the get go!Lisa WJune 3, 2024
If humans were angels, William Young is one of them. William was an amazing resource for my family as we searched for care for my father. William’s knowledge and expertise in the field of Alzheimer’s is unsurpassed. He advocates for the whole family, and knows of resources we never would have thought of on our own. Thanks to William, we have a whole community backing us. He will always be a friend to our family.Nayla SouthworthOctober 31, 2020
Caring for an aging spouse or parent is difficult enough. However when you factor in dementia or Alzheimer's the difficulty increases.
Recently my 95 year old mother fell and broke her hip. They did a hip replacement based on her activity level before the fall. While she came through the surgery fine and is doing well in rehab, the change in routine and location has put my mother in a state of constant confusion and disorientation due to her dementia.
I realized early on she could not return to the senior community she was living at before the fall as it was just to large and there could not be the "eyes" on her if you will, that she would need. And so the search for other living arrangements began. I had decided on a board and care in a home setting would be ideal for her.
I contacted an organization I had seen ads for on television. They were very helpful in the initial contact however my email and phone soon became overloaded with messages and calls from various homes and communities I might consider. I was overwhelmed.
And then I spoke with William at Elder Care Wise. We must have met for over an hour as he listened to what I was going through and what my mother's condition was and what her needs would be. We discussed my budget and what would be the ultimate living arrangement I would like to see for my mother. He assured me he would be in touch. I think what I appreciated the most during our conversation was the fact that William was not only concerned about my mothers well being and her needs he also focused on and was concerned about my well being and needs. He talked to me quite a bit about being sure to take care of myself and helped relive some of the guilt I was feeling.
Within 30 minutes of my leaving I had a phone call from William with the suggestion of what he thought would be a very viable place for me to consider. I immediately phoned and met with the administrator that afternoon.
Over the last few weeks I had visited several board and care type properties. Believe me when I tell you I saw the best of the best and the worst of the worst. However within 5 minutes of being in the home William had suggested I knew this was the place for my mother. It met all of the criteria I had and was within my budget.
Thanks to William I will have the peace of mind knowing my mother is safe, well taken care of and living as good a life as possible in a community/home that understands what elder care is and should be.Dennis RitcheyDecember 13, 2019
I cannot say enough good things about William and the services he provides. About a year ago, my family and I were looking for several options for my grandparents who had been living in assisted living for about 5 years. They no longer met criteria to stay there and that was an extremely daunting reality. Another scary reality was that my grandparents were looking at being separated (married over 50 years) because my grandmother had severe dementia but my grandfather did not. The only way to keep them together was putting them both into memory care and that wasn't the best option because we felt my grandfather would regress from lack of stimulation. He was not at that point of needing memory care. When we got a hold of William, we felt a tremendous relief to know that someone was interested in hearing about every single particular about our family's unique situation and the brainstorming began. William spent countless hours for weeks with my family working fervently trying to find a solution. He was genuine every step of the way and made us feel like we were his family. He was NEVER too busy to talk to us or answer our calls. In the end, my grandmother passed away (she was declining quickly). William was a breath of fresh air. I am a Registered Nurse and I am very familiar with the aging process and the enormous amount of care that goes into this stage of life. I am also aware of the lack of compassion and empathy from others who are in this business.....all too aware. I can spot a hard-working genuine person almost right away and I could feel that in William almost instantaneously. He is a forever friend in our household and a wealth of knowledge....and forever a phone call away.Rebekah AdkissonNovember 21, 2019
