Client Reviews

When you are navigating the challenges of Alzheimer’s with a loved one, every decision regarding assisted living can be incredibly difficult. I was very fortunate to have found Catherine, who took me under her wing. She asked me what I wanted for my husband’s memory care and actively searched for suitable options. Catherine took me to two different facilities, and when I found the one that felt right, I was very pleased. Not only did she assist me with this important placement decision, but she also helped me during the move-in process. She kept in touch throughout the entire ordeal and afterwards. Catherine truly felt like an angel sent from heaven, and I feel blessed to have met her. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of help with dementia care.

I was very fortunate to find Catherine Cruikshank while I was struggling with one of the most difficult, life-altering decisions I’ve faced regarding my spouse’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. How could I find the best treatment for him as he reached a challenging stage in his fight against dementia? Should I try to keep him at home with private care or seek out an assisted living facility that could provide the memory care he needs? During my first meeting with Catherine, she confirmed my thoughts and helped me come to terms with the inevitable. She arranged interviews with various facilities and stayed by my side during the presentations, prompting me to notice important aspects of the memory care options that I might have overlooked. Once I made my choice, Catherine was there to assist me with the difficult task of preparing to bring my spouse to his new home. She helped me select furniture, linens, and accessories that would make his new environment feel as warm and comfortable as possible. Having managed memory care centers, Catherine knew what was acceptable within the guidelines, so I didn’t have to guess. Above and beyond, she arrived at the facility during the week of the move-in to help set up the room, having laundered the new linens to ensure they were soft and inviting. After my spouse was admitted to the assisted living facility, she continued to support me, offering words of wisdom for my adjustment and coordinating with the facility regarding my spouse’s first days. Catherine’s extensive knowledge of the dementia arena was comforting and allowed me to accept the decision I was making for both my spouse and myself. Anyone facing this challenging and emotional task should seek out Catherine’s assistance to help make the best placement decision for their loved one. In the end, you will be grateful that Catherine was your guide, a helping hand, and a friend!

I had the pleasure of working with Catherine during the months of Oct-Nov 2024 to find a memory care facility for my mom, who is dealing with dementia. She was very interested in learning about my mother's life and her current struggles with Alzheimer’s. We spent many hours discussing Mom’s needs and visiting some assisted living facilities that she thought would be a good fit. Having Catherine’s extensive knowledge about dementia was a huge help for me during that emotional and overwhelming time, as she guided me in asking all the right questions regarding placement options. It has only been two months, but I am very happy with the care and services at the facility I chose. She comes highly recommended by me.

Catherine has been an absolute pleasure to get to know during this challenging time as our family navigates the complexities of Alzheimer's and dementia. We are currently enduring a very sensitive and difficult situation surrounding memory care and assisted living for my father. Catherine's time has been extremely generous; her advice on placement options has been spot on and has truly offered my father and me a positive perspective to improve our family situation. Through her guidance, we have found a stream of momentum that has really worked out for the best here in Naples. I highly recommend Catherine for her level of expertise in the field of memory care and thank her for her selfless and compassionate personality, along with her dedicated interest in helping our family.

I have had the pleasure of working with Catherine Cruikshank while trying to find an assisted living facility for my father, who is dealing with dementia. She was exactly what I needed since I had no idea where to even begin. Catherine knew what questions to ask me to find the best fit for my father's memory care needs and understood which facilities would best align with those goals. She was with me throughout the entire journey, allowing me to bounce ideas off of her as I had no one else to discuss these important placement decisions with. She didn’t try to influence my choice but logically answered my questions, especially when it was such an emotional decision for me. I am truly grateful for all of her help.

Catherine has been a Godsend during my grandfather's journey with dementia and sundowners. Every weekend, I visit him and Catherine consistently calls to check on both of us and the situation. She has been there through this entire process, which feels especially daunting when considering assisted living options. Many times, I just needed to talk and vent about the challenges of memory care, and she is always there with support and sound advice. I am so very grateful for her. She is an amazing woman—kind, caring, and filled with a wealth of knowledge about Alzheimer’s and placement options. I highly recommend her to anyone facing this difficult situation; she truly is a gift from God!
