My father's dementia has been progressing, yet my parents are still fiercely guarding their autonomy and independence. However, inevitably, regular help is needed and my siblings and I have been doing our best to fill in the gaps. Knowing that we could benefit from some professional guidance to chart and navigate the road ahead, I found Andrea and her company Wellness Strategies Group and could not have imagined a better fit. Andrea is the ideal combination of kind and caring and professional and competent. She provided a thorough and helpful care plan that touched on medical, cognitive, social and environmental needs as well as future planning ideas and local resources. Plus, she's providing peace of mind, knowing that we now have an experienced RN to call on should the need arise. If you need consulting services for an aging spouse or parent in Howard County, Andrea is a wonderful choice!

 You want Andrea on your team. My father’s caregiving needs grew beyond what I could support on my own, I found Andrea’s support and services invaluable and broad, ranging from aging consultant to registered nursing. As his situation evolved, she was always available to hear my concerns and thoughts, and to provide her insights. Her empathy and understanding for me as a caregiver was support I didn’t know I needed. 

Most importantly, my father always enjoyed her company and visits at a time when he was not always welcome to outside faces as his dementia and health conditions progressed. Whether you need a lot of support or just occasional, for a loved one or yourself, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I hired Andrea to assist with a family member who had unexpected, and severe, complications from surgery. Andrea was very helpful in explaining medical concepts, reassuring our family, and making sure that all protocols, necessary interventions, and additional services were provided to the patient. When the patient was discharged to a rehabilitation in Northern Virginia, she helped us find an appropriate geriatric care manager there to take over the case. Andrea was available any time we needed her and the patient was also delighted to have her help. Highly recommend.

Andrea has 30 years of nursing experience and it shows. Two days after she agreed to take on our situation, my wife went to the hospital. She texted every day to ask how she was and spoke to the nursing staff at the hospital when I asked her for advise. One of the things that I like the most about her is that she cares. She has my trust. 

The combination of her knowledge, experience, caring personality and knowing when to engage and when to wait is excellent. If you need a Care Manager, I highly recommend Andrea. You won’t be disappointed.

Andrea conducted a Geriatric and Dementia training for direct support professionals working with adults with disabilities. The training, as well as her expertise and perspective, were top tier. Her training was thorough and most importantly impactful. She is amazing!

      Often times, when my clients contact me it's because they're looking for support during a time of turmoil, and emotions are high. That's why I love referring clients to Andrea. Besides her calm and kind bedside manner, Andrea is "the expert" when a family needs coaching on their loved ones health condition, coaching on a current hospital stay, and even coaching on adapting to dementia. Andrea not only puts my clients at ease, she also puts me at ease knowing my clients are getting white-glove support regarding their health change.

          Andrea has been very responsive and supportive in the treatment of my sister in law from SC to MD. She went with me on the tour of the site as well as assisting my husband making the arrangements for his sister. Wey may continue to need her support until the transition no longer has any issues to improve.
