To whom it may concern,

The Diablo Valley Foundation for the Aging has been invaluable in arranging, coordinating and managing the care and finances for my aging parents. Without their services, it would be impossible for my parents to maintain their standard of living, at home, in familiar and comfortable surroundings.

Their services are excellent, complete and favorably priced. They helped us with the full spectrum of care, from evaluating my parents initially, through finding the best home caregivers available, to actively managing my parents expenses and providing ongoing case management (through frequent home visits and care reviews). They also are very willing to accommodate any requests, and go out of their way to assure care is complete.

Both my sister and I live out of the country, so having DVFA on-site and actively involved in the care of my parents has been invaluable to all of us. The peace-of-mind coming from the knowledge that they are cared-for in the best possible way is priceless.

When difficulties with my parents first became apparent, bringing them overseas to live with us was our first thought. However, it soon became impossible due to reasons surrounding their physical health and mental capacities. I believe DVFA is the next best choice to having them taken care of by family.

I highly recommend DVFA as your partner in the care for elderly loved ones.......they shine above the rest.

I wish you the best of luck and success with your own situation and hope that DVFA can help you as much as they have helped us.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Sandy,

I have been meaning to write for quite some time now and I'm finally getting to it. We want to thank you and the staff at the Diablo Valley Foundation for the wonderful help you've given us in the care for my step-mother, Helen during the last several years of her life. When she had to go into an assisted care home we badly needed someone in Walnut Creek who could not only give us advice on good homes but would keep us informed as to her condition and any needs she may have.

This was particularly true when her mental facilities started to deteriorate. Having a case worker assigned to her was greatly appreciated. Another difficulty we had was trying to manage her finances from Georgia, two thousand miles away. We needed a local contact who could handle her expenses on a daily basis and simply keep us informed of all the transactions. The Foundation was able to perform these tasks efficiently and certainly set our minds at ease concerning Helen's status.

Again, we want to thank you for all the help over the years. I don't know how we could have assured Helen's well-being without you.

Sincerely yours,

T.C. Blaschke
