Joanne, thank you for stepping in as needed to help my sister and I with managing our parent's difficult situation. Your initial assessments were helpful. Your availability when we can't be there in Palos Verdes is a big help also. And when our father died, you were right there with a grief counselor and even attended the funeral. You are a caring professional! Thank you. - E. Smith, Seattle, WA

Care Management of Seniors involves a variety of tasks and Joanne Courtois understands the process and has a proven success record with the clients that I have referred to her. She provides intelligent planning and astute interviewing of family, friends and Physicians. One recent client I referred was refusing to follow through with her M.D. appointments and Joanne’s many years of experience came shining through as she gently arranged and accompanied the client to the appointment. Joanne’s wonderful mixture of kindness and problem solving makes her a welcome colleague in our field of Care Management. - R. F., R.N. Care Manager - Manhattan Beach, CA
