“A few months ago, I called Elderwerks and began working with Tamara Kruse. She has been amazing, and thank goodness, because I felt nearly overwhelmed at how to find somewhere for my dad. She listened to my situation and gave me sound advice and great recommendations for local assisted living facilities, elder care attorneys, and a contact for veterans' benefits. I truly would have been lost without her.

[Tamara] followed up on everything I needed and really cares about helping people. My dad moved in 2 to the perfect place for him, which was one of her recommendations, and Tamara contacted me to ask how he was doing. She is fabulous! If you need guidance and help finding senior living, I highly recommend Elderwerks and Tamara.” -Laurie S.

Three years after her initial review, Laurie sent an update saying, “Because of the helpfulness in finding assisted living, I didn’t hesitate to contact Elderwerks again. Tamara recently helped me find non-emergency medical transportation for [my] dad. She returned my call within an hour of my message. Only an hour after listening to my needs with empathy and professionalism, she sent an email with some local options, and one had everything I hoped for. Tamara is so friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive!”
