Testimonials

I think the thing that is foremost in my mind when I think about my experience with 2Sisters is that I was so sorry I had not been made aware of your services much, much sooner.
I would have saved myself a tremendous amount of heart-wrenching work and my mother such disruption and sadness. Your experience with these types of situations would have led me in the right direction from the very beginning. When I finally heard about 2Sisters, Michelle was sympathetic to my situation and had some thoughtful words for me that I found comforting and reassuring. I remember as we were talking on the phone, I had the overwhelming realization that your services could have saved me so much time, anguish and confusion had I known about them sooner. I have since referred several people and I hope you are able to work with them and save them some of the unnecessary efforts I put myself through.

I had a particularly challenging situation in that my 90 year old mother and 68 year old sister had two very different needs in senior living, and I was 2000 miles away in Louisville, KY trying very hard to do the right thing. Alyson was able to connect me to all the appropriate resources so they could stay together in the same community, given their separate and very distinct physical and financial requirements. Alyson was extraordinarily compassionate and deeply knowledgeable. They are now both thriving in the same wonderful assisted living community. If not for Alyson and 2Sisters, I don’t know where I would be today.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Brenda and 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors in their approach to helping my mom and me navigate our senior living options in Boston.

I wanted to let you know how thrilled my client was with the work that you did with and for her and her mother. She felt very well taken care of and was so impressed with your attentiveness to detail. I am so pleased to have 2Sisters as a resource for clients and friends.

2Sisters had the foresight and knowledge to place my parents in the appropriate residence. My mother had a stroke a year ago and needed constant care. My father, who is aging with a multitude of problems, could no longer care for her in the townhouse where they resided, and their plan had been to move into a garden apartment. Knowing this was the wrong option, I engaged 2Sisters to intervene. Initially my parents rejected their idea of going into the assisted living facility they recommended, and it was only after months of intense discussions [with my parents] I was able to convince them that 2Sisters had the best plan [for them.] With patience and understanding 2Sisters was able to help my parents move into the assisted housing community where they are presently living, my parents are extremely happy and doing much better than they were doing in their condo.

My Mother is doing fantastic at her assisted living and I can’t believe how lucky I was to have found 2Sisters. My own sisters and I had already made one mistake in moving her and we were terrified to risk another. And we didn’t have a clue where to start looking, or who to call. Thanks to a financial planner [familiar with their services] within days we explored options, had Mom evaluated, and moved her in to this fabulous community where she’s absolutely thriving.

My Mother and I had the pleasure of working with 2Sisters as we made the very difficult decision to place my Dad in a memory care assisted living facility. As you can imagine this was an emotional process. 2Sisters was understanding , sympathetic and truly kind in our process. They were available any time to us for questions or concerns.

When my brother introduced me to 2Sisters I said to him ‘We don’t have time to meet with them, I know what we need to do’. Boy was I wrong!!! Everyone who has elderly parents should be required to meet with a member of 2Sisters. It is so emotionally and physically overwhelming to manage, coordinate and implement a care plan for your parents. With 2Sisters to listen and come up with options allowed us all to step back and breath. There were many frantic phone calls, emails and many questions. Michelle was so patient and always got back to me – even when it was late at night or on the weekend. I tear up as I write this because I truly didn’t know what I was going to do!!

2Sisters’ service is a treasure! They are excellent at what they do. They knew the questions I had before I even voiced them. They made me feel comfortable and at ease during the whole process. They have an excellent rapport with the healthcare facilities and made the whole process seamless. My mother is doing well, but she would still rather be home. They care for her very well so I believe it was the right decision for me and her. I thank 2Sisters for their assistance during a difficult time. They were amazing and I will recommend 2Sisters to others.

I could tell you how God orchestrated the week we were able to put my Mom in assisted living it would blow you away. Michelle met us for lunch on Saturday of Easter weekend. It was a dire situation as my Mom was found wandering outside. With Michelle’s help, we were able to bring Mom the assisted living on Monday to play piano. We had all her furniture moved and she was in there 6 days after we started this process. Absolutely amazing! Michelle was great. She knew exactly what was best for Mom. Mom is happy and safe! Praise God!

Thank you very much for your help this past week. It’s been an incredible 6 day journey. I contacted 2sisters for help on a Sunday and within hours you reached out to me. Since then with your help my family has secured a beautiful apartment in an assisted living community for our mom. My siblings and I could not be happier with the outcome. I can’t accurately and wholly express how much I appreciate all that you have done for all of us. You moved your calendar completely to accommodate the family meeting, you drove up to meet at the family home, you followed up on every promise with thorough, concise direction. We appreciate your expertise and sound advice. Thank you, you are consummate professionals with beautiful hearts!

My mother is doing better that we expected and we believe she is surprising herself with how she has adjusted. She told Stuart after week 1 that she actually doesn’t miss her house as much as she thought she would. She was having increasingly more difficulty being in her house; the stairs, the loneliness, missing her husband. She’s been at the assisted living for four weeks now. She finally started going to the exercise class each day (Muscles in Motion) and of course all of her meals are taken in the dining room. She has been warmly welcomed by her neighbors, there is a tight group of ladies on her floor who all look out for each other. We love knowing she is being well looked after and is now only 15 minutes away from us! We can stop by more frequently for shorter visits and still be home in 15 minutes! I stopped by to see her after Mass on Sunday and stayed with her until “the girls on the floor” knocked on her door for lunch! Thank you for checking back in with us… this has been such a process for all of us and we’re so grateful that places such as her assisted living exist and that people like you and your company care so much. Thank you.

2Sisters Senior Living Advisors was just what we needed at just the right time for our mother. Between the three of us (me and my own two sisters), we had no experience with assisted living residences and did not know where to start. And honestly, where do you start? You can ask the same questions over and over again, and over and over again, you will get different answers. But not from 2Sisters – because they have the years and expertise to help you ask the right questions. They know what to ask, what to look for and what should raise red flags. I would highly recommend their service to anyone in the position of making assisted living and/or nursing home decisions.

My mom is doing so well. She’s adapted to her new environment better than any of us, including her, could have imagined. She’s socially active, eating well, and trying new things. My family is thrilled to see her thriving at her new community. Thank you for the referral and an explanations of the different levels of care available to seniors. We chose the right home for my mother, in part due to the information you supplied. We cannot thank you enough for your help.

My husband and I are sitting at the bar at the Cask & Flagon having a celebratory drink (& late lunch) as his dad is safely moved to his new assisted living! We moved him in earlier this afternoon and he promptly left his apartment for a music program in the large living room! We’ll go back tonight to check in and wish him well! THANK YOU for all of your help and prodding to get us moving! We are so very appreciative for all your time and experience and could not have done this without your help! This being “our first rodeo” we began this journey totally blind to all that lay ahead of us. We are so very grateful for ALL that you did to make this work! Thank you, again!

Working with 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors was such a blessing. They understood my situation and were so easy to open up to, instantaneously. Right off the bat, they were caring and knowledgeable. I was in a challenging situation trying to keep my parents together and they were able to help me do that. They are honest and helped me go with my gut. They coached me to have the conversation with my parents about making this move and even offered to talk with my parents directly. 2Sisters found the right place for them to go and they have been able to stay together. I have already recommended 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors to a couple of friends and I will be happy to recommend them to anyone.

You made a truly daunting experience understandable and manageable, and you did so with a combination of true compassion, knowledge and professionalism. The outcome of getting my mother so quickly situated from rehab to a wonderful assisted living facility in the same community where she had long resided was more than we could have hoped for. Your understanding of our particular family dynamic was immediate and gratefully appreciated; your depth of experience in dealing with so many different circumstances truly shows, and it makes 2Sisters unique. You provide a necessary and valuable service, and deliver it with professionalism, efficiency and a lot of heart.

When my mother was admitted to the hospital for dehydration I realized my growing concerns about her living at home alone were legitimate. I knew a change had to be made. I contacted 2Sisters immediately as I had no idea where to start. When I met Michelle and Alyson I knew at once I had made the right connection. They were reassuring me as they helped me take control of the situation. Alyson came with me to visit two different senior living communities and helped me get all the answers I needed. She even met with my mother after she was discharged from the hospital to show her the community I liked best. I cannot say enough about their knowledge, kindness, and understanding. 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors reduced the stress of this difficult time and I would highly recommend their services to anyone who needs assistance having to make decisions regarding aging parents.

When the hospital told us that our father needed to find a place to live where he could be supervised and assisted with his daily care, we didn’t know where to begin. Immediately 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors helped by explaining what would be involved in finding him an assisted living community. They asked many questions about what would be important to us, and helped narrow the search. They even made arrangements for us to visit a few places at times that fit our work schedules. The hospital originally told us we would have three weeks while our father was in rehabilitation to find a longer term solution. When a few days later the hospital said that rehabilitation was denied and he had to be discharged immediately, 2Sisters didn’t skip a beat. Within 24 hours they had found for us a short-term solution, and helped make the arrangements to move him there immediately. They helped calm and guide us through an incredibly stressful time–and we are incredibly grateful.

2Sisters Senior Living Advisors played a crucial role in getting my mother into an assisted living instead of a nursing home. After a thorough evaluation of my mother's status and needs, 2Sisters was able find the right match. They helped me every step of the way. I wish more people could know about the service you provide. Thanks again.

We were thrilled with 2Sisters' service. We were in a crisis situation, and 2Sisters was right there to help with an urgent placement. We would not have known where to begin or even what questions to ask! We are very grateful for their help in turning a very stressful situation into a smooth transition.

When my mom's heath got worse shortly after my dad died, I didn't know what to do. I knew almost nothing about assisted living facilities. Fortunately, my lawyer recommended 2Sisters. They worked tirelessly for us, setting up appointments, asking questions I didn't even know we should be asking, and providing invaluable guidance. Once we narrowed down choices we could focus on just the facilities that were the best fit for my mom. It worked and she has made friends in the assisted living facility and is doing very well. At a very stressful and emotional time, 2Sisters provides specific, targeted information and wise advice. I love that I never felt pressured to decide things a certain way--once I had the information and advice, it was up to me.

Of the many things I appreciated working with 2Sisters was their deep knowledge, and kind and caring persistence. My sisters and I were somewhat adrift on what to do and where to place my 96 year old mother, who had just suffered two medical incidents and where it was important that she be close to us, and, her primary care physician. They pointed us to several viable options, and when we dragged our feet making a decision, in their knowledgeable and wonderful way, coached us to exactly the right choice.

Although I’ve never met Alyson, I recall the hours spent on the phone as I navigated my way through the overwhelming process of getting my Mom relocated up here to Massachusetts from her home in Pennsylvania. 2Sisters was both a comfort and expert guide in a world that to me was foreign and confusing. When I was touring communities, she coached me on what to ask and look for, and gave me the vital knowledge needed to make intelligent decisions. As an only child having to do all of this on my own it was extremely comforting to have their expertise on my side. For Alyson and Michelle this [2Sisters] is much more than a business, it is an absolute passion, and I was very fortunate to benefit from their insights.

2Sisters was a great resource to explain the process, options and variables to aid in making the correct decision. Brenda is a pro

2Sisters helped my family immeasurably with the process of finding the right place for my grandmother. I am so grateful! I was really overwhelmed with the prospect of helping my parents through a difficult time with issues that I never dreamed would fall on my shoulders for many years. 2Sisters was amazing, checking in on me frequently. They made me feel like I could ask them absolutely anything.

When our family recognized my mother needed to consider alternatives to living alone, we thought we had about a year to figure out all the pieces. When we contacted Michelle, she took the time to understand our medical, social and religious perspectives, and educate us on the alternatives in the assisted living ecosystem. This proved to be invaluable because as it turned out, due to changes in my mother’s condition, the months we thought we had to make this decision, evaporated into 30 days. Thankfully, Michelle had advised several places for us to visit. Had we not had this early conversation and education, we would have been adrift trying to navigate this complex new environment.

I can't speak highly enough of 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors . They were extremely helpfully to me and my whole family in a very difficult time. My father is at an assisted living now and as content as he can be at this point I his life. I have recommended 2Sisters to a number of people because they were such a great help to me.

Brenda gave me names of a few different local assisted living residences along with contact information for each. The information she gave me was very helpful, particularly the list of questions that would be helpful in choosing an assisted living residence.

The information 2Sisters provided was clear and thorough. Happily, my mother ended up moving into a reasonably-priced assisted living we are all so pleased she did! Had we not met Michelle, we might never have found out about that option and we are truly grateful. Thank you for all you do! People who are in my position would be lost without the services you provide.

2Sisters saved my parents lives!! I am serious. My experience with 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors was the MOST positive experience. They had a way of talking to my father like no one in the family could. They reassured him we were doing the right move. So very patient, extra caring, immune to dealing with other people’s fear and anxiety that people experience during this life change, and a special gift to share with others in need of your help. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART

I loved 2Sisters especially Brenda. She was a Lifeline to me. I don't know how I would have been able to handle this horrible experience having to deal with a placement for my husband. She made it so much easier. I don't know what I would do without her. She gave me good advice on what to ask the Assisted Living Memory Care so it would help me make a decision on what would be the best place.

Michelle with 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors was informed and extremely helpful. She maintained contact and coached us along the way. This was a difficult decision and she help us make an informative decision. My experience was great and I highly recommend 2Sisters. I don't this we could have made this difficult decision without Michelle.

The rehab facility referred me to 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors who were extremely responsive and helpful and recommended two places for my parents, one of which we ended up picking and they are now living there. We needed help finding a place that would meet our needs with my mother having Alzheimer’s and my father quite frail but cognitively fine, that they could afford and stay together. 2Sisters asked a lot of questions and took the time to really understand our situation, and helped us find the right place.

I am amazed at Brenda’s deep knowledge of the process, compassion and attention to all of the nuances that can make a big difference. I feel so grateful to have found you, this has been a daunting process and to be able to have you to guide us is incredible. Thank you!

I wanted to send along a note to say thank you. Last December, our family found ourselves in a horrible place of uncertainty. My father's long battle with Parkinson's had taken a terrifying turn. He was suddenly failing at a rapid pace both physically and mentally, escalating his need for care. Navigating the very practical part of elderly care is overwhelming, but the emotional part is often times heartbreaking. To have 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors in your corner is a gift. I am happy to think that you are out in the world helping other families like ours.

We worked with 2Sisters & couldn't be any more pleased with their help. I called in a panic over my sister who was not safe at home alone anymore. 2Sisters was the only person I'd contacted who actually listened to me and wanted to hear what the problem was. They were able to put into words how we were feeling but didn't know how to say. They are incredibly knowledgeable of the possible solutions. They jumped right in & followed through on everything. Please keep doing what you are doing, this service is so important. Any family struggling like we were would be lucky to have your help. Just thank you!

I am so glad that we made this decision. She looks better and has been more active in the last week that she has in many months. Thank you again for your guidance.

Emily was absolutely amazing. She had answers for every one of our questions and recommendations when we ran out of questions. She was very attentive and responded quickly to every one of our inquiries. She handled our panic with calm responses. Emily took what was a very difficult and emotional process and made it manageable. I would recommend to anyone going through this process to utilize the services of 2Sisters Senior Living Advisors.

2Sisters was extremely helpful and supportive in helping me with finding an assisted living that my mother could afford. They checked in with me to see if I needed help with the moving arrangements. I am very grateful for the help. And I have referred your agency to others. You all exceeded my expectations.

Brenda offered excellent help by providing me with the various facilities which would be best for my Dad. She was very caring and concerned about helping move my Dad in the best facility for his needs.
