If you are looking for help with a vulnerable loved one, look no further. When a nursing home told me, the only family member and newly minted POA for mother, that they thought a care manager would help I thought they didn’t know me well enough yet-I manage my own solo private practice and pride myself on caring for loved ones. I had NO IDEA what I was in for the past 2 years and Lionheart (Bianca in particular, a total saint and godsend) has been there with creative, compassionate, and kind solutions every step of the way. Bianca has found ways to help my mother and I that I didn’t even know existed. They are the BEST.
Response from the owner: Thank you Tiffany, for your positive comments. You're an incredible advocate for your family and your patients and we are honored to help. Of course we agree Bianca is a fantastic eldercare consultant and I know she loved working with your family member.
I highly recommend LionHeart Eldercare Consulting. They are a compassionate, caring group of consultants with a wealth of experience, advice, and resources. As the primary caregiver for a loved one with dementia, I often have contacted them for guidance, and they have responded quickly with exactly what I have needed. I cannot praise them enough.
Response from the owner: Rosemary, you truly live up to your last name! You are always a complete pleasure to work with and I admire your patience and positivity in your own caregiver role. Thanks for this lovely review.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about LionHeart. My husband’s Assisted Living could no longer serve his needs & they wanted him to leave ASAP. LionHeart had the expertise, compassion & wisdom to find the RIGHT place that more than fit his needs and level of care within budgetary constraints. He is very happy there & the care is outstanding. They were also very kind & caring to me. It was my lucky 🍀 day when Colleen of LionHeart was the first agency to return my call on a very bleak day.Thanks & More Thanks! 💗
Response from the owner: Thank you Michele, it was our privilege to work with you and your family. I'm glad "our" Michele was able to put things in place for you and your husband.
LionHeart staff helped us identify a quality and caring assisted living community that fit our budget. My dad loves looking out his new bedroom window, watching people and dogs and cars.
Response from the owner: Hi Lisa, thank you so much for trusting LionHeart to support you and your dad! I'm so glad we could find a place that makes him happy. You're a wonderful advocate for your father and it was a pleasure to work with you.
During my husband's most recent, and most serious illness, the depth of knowledge of Colleen Duewel, Certified Eldercare Consultant of Lionheart Eldercare Consulting was a true blessing as I navigated the complicated territory of Long Term Health Care, care facilities, Medicare, legal matters - and so on. I highly recommend this company. The invaluable expertise and kindness of Colleen and staff comes at a time when we need it most.
Response from the owner: Penelope, thanks so much for your kind review. It is always a pleasure talking with you and I admire all you do to support your husband.
LionHeart Eldercare has been a terrific help in planning for recovery from surgery. They helped me make a great plan for aftercare to help with physical recovery and household tasks. And found the right people/services to make it all work, giving me peace of mind. For their practical and understanding support, I highly recommend LionHeart.
Response from the owner: Thank you Mollie, for your kind words. You are such a delight and a joy to work with! It's truly our pleasure.

Colleen is an out-of-the-box thinker with a real compassion for older adults and their families. She is very knowledgeable about resources in our area and has the hands on experience to guide you through the overwhelming maze of working details. She loves challenges and is persistent in finding options and solutions that will work for your situation. Colleen has patiently listened to my sometimes stressed out ramblings about my elderly family member and was able to clearly identify important issues and offer a direction for finding solutions. I don't hesitate for a second to refer others to Colleen for her services.

Colleen has the experience, network and especially the heart to guide you or someone you love on the often-confusing journey through aging. I've always trusted completely that she would take excellent care of anyone I referred to her, and she's never let me down.
Response from the owner: Thanks so much for your kind words. You're right that this can be a confusing journey, especially during a public health crisis. It's an honor to provide guidance and navigation to the families and individuals you've referred.
Colleen Duewel is perceptive, knowledgeable, and kind. After only one visit to talk about future living options, she wrote a series of useful recommendations for us. She included general observations about our personal situation and clear information to guide us in decision-making. We were able to decide on a Continuing Care Residential Community quite soon thereafter, and more than once we have called her for quick updates. I have always found her to be responsive and thoughtful. I have confidently referred several other people to Colleen at LionHeart.
Response from the owner: Thank you Diane, for your kind words. It was truly a joy to work with you. You do so much to support your community that it is an honor to help you. I appreciate your confidence in referring others to LionHeart Eldercare.
