Testimonials

With Guiding Care’s comprehensive services, it feels like I have extended family taking care of all of my mom’s needs. It is so comforting to know they are on top of everything, as I live 1500+ miles away from my 93-year-old mom. Jaimee goes above and beyond, often anticipating and planning for potential issues that may occur. I highly recommend her services.

Barbara (Connecticut)

My wife and I signed up with Guiding Care 5 months ago. Carlie, our care manager, has virtually eliminated our stress over more than a year’s worth of mounting medical bills, multiple insurances, and other daily management necessities. She has recouped thousands of dollars in missing/delayed insurance benefits to which we were entitled, but could not manage ourselves, and has acted as our agent in a timely, efficient, and productive manner. We highly recommend Guiding Care, and Carlie specifically, as a competent team that can help manage all the necessities of elder care that we were not able to handle ourselves.

Alan (Florida)

I cannot speak highly enough of Jaimee Friedlander, who has been an extraordinary case manager for my elderly mom. Her professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail have made a profound difference in my mom’s quality of life and in our entire family’s peace of mind.

What sets Jaimee apart is her proactive approach. She anticipates needs before they arise and coordinates seamlessly with healthcare providers. Her ability to navigate the healthcare system and provide personalized care solutions has been invaluable.

Thanks to Jaimee, my mother is in a safe and supportive environment. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family in need of expert, compassionate care for an aging loved one.

Barbara (Connecticut)

Jaimee has been an invaluable partner to us and friend to my mom. Not only did she connect us to a great facility and care providers, she has also arranged care and social services to help my mother thrive to the point where she seems to be aging backwards at 90! She truly cares about her clients and their families and has connections to whatever is needed. She works extremely well with mom’s facility and follows up on medical and personal needs right away. We so appreciate her support.

Wendy (New Hampshire)

Jaimee is truly a gem! She has a kind and calm demeanor, patience, and incredible organizational skills. We are so grateful to have her helping us!

Michelle (Maryland)

Guiding Care Concierge Care is the perfect answer to living far away from an elderly parent who needs someone available to tend to their immediate needs. So relieved to have Davida Barr as a care manager for my 94 year old mom in Florida. Davida is skilled, compassionate, available. Jaimee Friedlander has created a niche business to assist people like my mother. Very grateful.

Barbara (New York)

Jaimee and her team are fantastic! They truly care about their clients and will go above and beyond. Our company works well with them to give the best care to patients.

Rhoshini (Florida)

Jaimee is the most capable, compassionate, dependable case manager that anyone could ever dream of. During the over 3 years that she has helped care for our mother we have come to regard her as family. She has been trustworthy, sound in her advice and perhaps most importantly, truly caring.

Dennis (Colorado)

Jaimee and her team have been exactly what we have needed. She provides support to my mother-in-law who absolutely RAVES about Jaimee. She has been working with my MIL for a couple of years now. For this reason, I hired her to help my dad. Susan takes my dad to doctor’s appointments and manages his medication. We have been very happy to have their help.

Renee (New York)

Rhoda has been great. So helpful during this recovery. Professional and knowledgeable. Straightforward.

Georgia (Florida)

Thank you very much to Jaimee Friedlander and especially Hope Garling, my father’s Care Coordinator in Florida, for helping my father to be comfortable while he was in a rehab facility in Florida and for helping him to have as smooth as possible of a transition from Florida to his new assisted living place in Connecticut! Also thanks to their nurse, Rhoda, for accompanying him there! Hope has been a true beacon of hope (pun intended) for me and my father to navigate the complicated waters of elder care and obtaining services, such as the wonderful referral to Visiting Angels (another great company), and whatever else was needed while my father was in Florida. Thank you and bless you!

Jodi (Connecticut)

I have no doubt Davida saved my uncle’s life! She truly is a wonderful person. I am so thankful that she was assigned to our case. She is excellent at her job for sure, but she goes above and beyond. My 93-year-old uncle was living on his own in Florida. We live in NJ and are his only close relatives. He is visually impaired and he started to mentally decline. He then got a raging UTI that was antibiotic-resistant. Davida to the rescue. She immediately got us a terrific home health aide and drivers to take him to his daily IV treatments (during the holiday season, no less). When we decided to move him to NJ she helped him pack and went through his important items and all his memorabilia and sent them to me in NJ. Besides being an unbelievable resource, more importantly, she was so kind and compassionate. She would check on my uncle periodically and sit and chat with him. She was a great confidant in helping me hash out choices in making decisions on his care. Davida sets an example for us all!

Richard (New Jersey)

Jaimee and Guiding Care have been providing essential support for my elderly parents for nearly a year. She has proven to be incredibly empathetic as well as an extremely informed resource for medical needs and support. She also has guided our family on an array of topics ranging from transportation, securing the COVID-19 vaccine, and hurricane safety. I recommend her services and her company highly and without any hesitation!!

Robert (Massachusetts)

Without Jaimee and Rhoda, my stepfather would be in a very bad situation. They saved him in many different ways to long to mention. All I can say is they are amazing.

Aaron (New York)

Gail and Jaimee were so helpful to my mother. I was afraid at first to take the steps to put mom in a facility, but they helped me and mom both work through the transition. I can't thank them enough!

Sandra (Florida)

Jaimee has changed the game caretaking for our family in the best ways possible. She is caring and communicative and has great instincts. We are very grateful and don't know what we would do without her.

Lisa (California)

Once I found Jaimee and Guiding Care, not only were all my dad's needs attended to professionally, efficiently, quickly, and competently, but my stress began to immediately lower and both my father and I were able to resume a normal and healthy relationship. And, because Jaimee goes with my father on his medical appointments and sends me a report the same day, I know I'm getting a reliable picture of how my father's doing. Needless to say, I'm very pleased with how Jaimee has helped us all at this time in our lives.

Paul (Arizona)

Jaimee is very patient and caring, thorough, and responds promptly. My elderly father is not always the easiest the deal with and is very picky about who he allows to help him and he is very comfortable with Jaimee. So thankful she is nearby and so willing to help sometimes on very short notice. Thank you, Jaimee!

Holly (Washington)

Davida helped my family take care of my mom for over two years. My mom had been recently widowed, lost her ability to drive, and was living alone. All of her children lived far away. Davida took on the role our family could not, providing companionship and support, arranging for transport to doctors and grocery stores, etc. She was professional but also genuinely caring. She connected with my mom, was consistently available for her to talk to, and always went the extra mile. In summary, she is a lovely human being and she was a joy to work with.

Wendy (California)

Gail has been an absolute godsend in our lives. She helps me care for my dad in FL as I live in NY. They have developed such a close relationship because of her warmth and humor. She is on top of EVERYTHING-medical appointments, meds, tests, PT/OT, nutritional needs, staying on top of staff at the assisted living facility-the list goes on and on. She helps me look after his car and apartment and has been indispensable when things have gone wrong. She has become a trusted friend and advisor to me, calming me down during incredibly stressful periods, particularly during the transition to the ALF. She is a great resource for references for any type of service we have needed. She has been available to us during medical emergencies and has coordinated care that I couldn’t manage from afar. I can’t say enough positive things about working with Gail and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in need of her services.

Ann (New York)

Davida is a very caring and helpful person. I would not be able to manage without her compassion and her assistance. She takes much of the burden off my shoulders.

Estelle (Florida)

Guiding Care has earned a 10-star rating in my book! Jaimee Friedlander is an exceptional professional! Her knowledge, dedication, and compassion are exactly what is needed to cope with a serious health care situation. Jaimee has been essential in helping me navigate a very complicated emergency health care crisis involving two family members. She continues to provide much-needed guidance and support in the next phase of this ongoing multi-faceted medical crisis. I will always be grateful for her commitment and assistance.

Jeanne (Florida)

Davida was the most helpful and KIND person with my 91-year-old father who would never let anyone help him, but he loved her! I lived in PA, which was too hard to micromanage my Dad from far away! She connected with my father and she was always there for him and me! I could have never accomplished what I did for his well-being without her help!

Debbie (Pennsylvania)

Jaimee Friedlander is the ultimate professional! She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, efficient, compassionate, cost-effective and respectful. She feels like famiIy. Since my brother has no family in Florida, she is both my ”boots on the ground” and my advisor. Jaimee has saved my life in caring for my disabled brother. I couldn’t ask for more.
