"Rhonda is amazing! She helped manage a major crisis with my mom's healthcare, living situation, and ongoing challenges with dementia. Rhonda is passionate about her work, talented, hard-working, and I'm not quite sure what I would have done without her. Rhonda is a lifesaver, a game changer, and an incredible support. I recommend Rhonda without hesitation!"Roseanna
"My mother was 98 and still living alone in relatively good health when a minor lapse in self-confidence threw her for a loop and, I think, emphasized in her mind that she had no one immediately available to help her. I lived in California, 2,000 miles away, and my brother about 800 away in Florida, too far to drop in for a cup of tea or drive her to a doctor's appointment. And she panicked.Eventually, as her panic intensified, she got a friend to take her to the emergency room, where doctors arranged for her to spend the night. The next day, saying she was "too old to live alone," they transferred her to a nursing facility, which simply amplified in her mind the trouble she thought she was in. Meanwhile, a physical therapist arrived at her house for a scheduled appointment and, finding the house dark and no answer to her knock, she called my brother in Florida. He told her what had happened the day and night before, assuring her that our mother was okay but adding that he and I had no idea what came next. She said, "You need Rhonda."
Over the next year and a half, Rhonda Guzman of Person Centered Senior Solutions became our surrogate sister, and my mother's stand-in daughter, staunch friend and invaluable advocate. You may never have heard of the type of consulting she does -- I hadn't -- because it is so much more than a once-a-week appointment or a bit of behind-the-scenes phone work on a client's behalf. She became an active part of my mother's life, filling a role my brother and I not only couldn't logistically but, most important, didn't have the knowledge or experience for. When my mother decided she really did need to finally give up her house after 67 years, Rhonda took her on a tour of a half-dozen assisted-living facilities, helping her choose the one best for her needs. She referred her to a real estate attorney who helped sell her house. She had another contact whose business was helping seniors sort and pack their belongings, and then she cleared her own calendar to be there for the big move, if only to hold my mother's hand. She called her regularly, usually just to chat, and called me (the elder of the two of us and my mother's legal trustee) just as frequently to keep me informed or discuss new ideas for her care. And, yes, she drove her to doctors' appointments, shopping trips and even out to lunch. My mother adored her.
My brother and I literally do not know what we would have done without Rhonda. She became our friend, our confidante and our sister. It's been two and a half years since our mother died (five days after her 100th birthday!) and Rhonda still calls and emails on notable anniversaries or "just thinking of you." I hope that if you are searching for a "consultant" for your parent or family member you are able to meet her because, as my brother and I found: You need Rhonda."
