I reached out to Trish for advice when it was hard to know where to turn. She was extremely generous with her time during a free consultation and had good ideas, then followed up with her suggestions in writing with no hard sell for her own services. She's very willing to talk even if you're not sure what you need. read more

The services Trish provides are amazing. She is kind, thoughtful and is always keeping the best interest of her client in mind. Having someone local as an advocate for a family member that cannot advocate for themselves is amazing! Recently, Trish provided services for a neighbor that was living alone and having memory issues. Trish was able to get her moved to a safe space where now she is thriving! read more

I needed a resource to help planning for my mother, and I reached out to Trish. She had a vast amount of knowledge and helpful hints for which I will be forever grateful. If you need help, reach out to her! read more

Still happy to report that Trish is as reliable, efficient, and professional as when we first started working with her. We've all had many challenges this past year, and she has handled the hurdles wonderfully. read more

When I found myself homebound with a broken ankle, a friend suggested I call Trish at Eldercare. Trish understood exactly what I needed and immediately hooked me up with resources for temporary, in-home caretakers. In talking with her, I discovered even more resources she could provide. I recommend taking her up on the free consultation. Eldercare is a gem! read more

Patricia was so helpful in providing guidance, both about practical matters (what benefits to apply to and how, where to look for residential care) and emotional ones (how to support one another through the process, how best to use our resources). She was responsive and readily available; it was so helpful to have guidance on issues we were unfamiliar with. read more

I highly recommend Eldercare Consulting! My mother-in-law moved to Seattle from out of state. We got her set up in an Assisted Living community and realized after a year it wasn't a good fit. Then we turned to Eldercare Consulting. Patricia was amazing. She provided great resources and ideas, and she asked really good questions ensuring my mother-in-law fully understood her own needs and wants. Not only did Patricia help us secure a perfect living situation, she also coordinated the move. The movers she brought in were courteous, professional and affordable. After my mother-in-law got settled, we called on Patricia for a variety of needs from transportation to appointments to bringing in care after my mother-in-law broke her leg. It was such a relief to know that whatever came up, we had her support and resources when we needed them. Eldercare Consulting made a stressful, overwhelming situation manageable. read more

Absolutely disappointed with Trish and her lack of professionalism. If I could give a zero star review, I would. Trish released private information regarding my family member and private correspondence. Do not use her services, unless you want to risk your private information released. read more

Trish is a wonderful resource to help a struggling family, aging client and caregivers search for answers. She is also a calming presence when there is a lot of confusion, anxiety and tension around care for an ill loved one. She knows how to help you get answers to all of the healthcare confusion and can help talk through options with a resistant aging parent. Trish goes above and beyond and takes the time to make sure all parties involved feel heard and everyone's concerns are addressed. read more

When I hired Patricia, my father was 100 and sharp as a tack. He is now 102. I'd helped him navigate his healthcare and assisted living for 7 years on my own. During an intense time due to one of my father's hospital stays, I realized I could no longer manage on my own and reached out for some expert advice. Patricia met me at the hospital right away, armed for action and a lot of empathy. She came up with solutions that provided me with great relief from the anxiety of caring for an elder. Since then, she has been a touch stone for whenever I hit a wall. In addition, my partner and I now seek her advice for our future as baby boomers entering the age of retirement. She is a gem and we were lucky to find her! read more

Trish was a gem to work with. She was a great asset to have in assisting my client with her move and is a great communicator. I only wish she lived in the SF area so I could refer her to more people! read more

Trish was great! Very patient with my mother, and explained her options in a way that came across better than I was able to, in addition to knowing more about her options than me. These issues are difficult enough, and family dynamics can make them even harder. Having an independent 3 party (Trish) really helped my mother feel comfortable with her choices. I am SO glad you offer this service! :) Thanks again. read more

I know of no one more resourceful than Trish and her team. Magically, they are able to take on such wide variety of tasks with expert and thoughtful care and coordinate all that has to come together for a good solution. I would not hesitate to use them again. read more

I have had the pleasure of assisting Trish at Eldercare Consulting on a number of occasions. NextStep Transitions has provided the downsizing and relocation services to several of Eldercare Consulting clients. As a detailed person myself, I find that her attention to the needs of her clients is superb and her follow up and follow through with the specifics is top notch. Her communications are clear and if there is a question or concern she is quick to respond and she makes sure that all parties have the right information moving forward. She is actively involved and present at critical times during a move and one can see the dedication she has to her clients. You can see the positive relationship she maintains with her clients and their families and I have a great deal of respect for that. Christy Urdal, Owner, NextStep Transitions read more

Patricia was one of the reasons I was able to get through one of the more difficult times in my life. My sisters cleaned out my mother's bank account and left her on our doorstep we had no idea who to turn to. My mother suffered a stroke and was at a rehab center in Federal Way we had less than 10 days to find a nursing home for her. I was grocery shopping at Thriftway and I saw Patricia's car in the parking lot with her company name on the side of it I waited for her to come out and started talking to her about my situation, she exhibited a compassion and true concern that I had not experienced since the beginning of my mother's, ordeal. She met with my wife and I and immediately we felt like some semblance of order had started to fall back into our lives. When my mother could no longer be cared for at the nursing home as her dementia worse, Patricia was there again to find us a group home. She must've called 500 different places and she found the perfect group home situation that was perfect for my mother. Her rate is cheap when you consider what it is that she does. she's the best! read more

Trish was incredibly amazing and supportive in this difficult time of transition for my family. Trish listened carefully to us and the needs of my disabled uncle. My uncle has some unusual restrictions, and Trish worked hard to accommodate them. Not only did Trish find a number of fantastic options for for my uncle to live, she really supported us through this process. Trish is prompt, focused, hard-working, and worth every penny! Without Trish to set us on the right path, we would not have happily found my uncle a safe and comfortable place to live. She is wonderful, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for help navigating this process! read more

My brother hired Trish of ELDERCARE CONSULTING to help we three siblings manage my aging father, who has Alzheimer's disease. Our father wanted to stay in his home, and we just couldn't handle all the details involved in keeping our dad safe and well cared for in his home. Trish saved the day! She manages his care-givers (24/7), the med's and his appointments. We know our father is getting the best care he can while remaining in his home. What is especially reassuring to me is that Trish truly cares about my dad, and he can be a real handful! Thank you Trish for doing such an excellent job for us! read more

Trish is simply amazing. She supported our family and my mother as her health began to quickly decline over the course of a year. It was a sad, complicated, and frustrating time and Trish stayed by our side through the entire journey making it possible for us to maintain our lives, care for our children, and ensure that our mother was well taken care of. She was so understanding and patient with our mother and someone Mom considered a true friend. I greatly appreciated Trish's strong management skills. Multiple trips to the doctor and hospitals were followed by a detailed note of changes to medication, comments from doctors, and next steps. Whenever a service was necessary for mom, Trish knew who to call. When complicated decisions needed to be made, Trish helped us by explaining our options. And with all of the complexity and stress, Trish had a smile on her face and went out of her way to add a bit of happiness to our mom's life. Without her, I'm not sure how our family could have navigated this extremely emotional and stressful time. Thanks so very much, it's hard to convey in words just how important you were during such a challenging time. read more
