Testimonials

Families often come to SAGE during stressful transitions.

Our role is to bring calm, clarity, and practical guidance during those moments.

Many families tell us the most valuable thing we provided was simply:

“Someone who understood what we were going through.”

We invite you to read the experiences of families who have walked this path before.

When I first met Rita and Matt, I was looking ahead—planning for the future for myself and my bride. As a planner by nature, I wanted to make sure we found a place that offered great healthcare services, engaging activities, and the amenities we were accustomed to. Aging comes with challenges, and with my own health complications, I knew the sooner we had a plan in place, the better.

From the very beginning, Rita took her time to explain every step of the process, ensuring we understood all our options. What truly set them apart was the level of personal care they provided. We were beyond impressed when she offered to conduct home visits to help us navigate the endless paperwork required to move into the community of our choice.

Without Rita and Matt’s guidance, resources, and connections, I honestly don’t know how we would have made it through so seamlessly. They became an invaluable part of our journey, always looking out for our best interests.

If there’s one message I want to share, it’s this: Don’t wait until you have no options left. Planning ahead means you get to choose what’s best for you, without the panic. And when it comes to finding the right place and the right people to guide you, trust Rita and Matt. They truly care, and they will always have your best interests at heart.

We pray for their success and hope more families find the support and peace of mind they gave us.

I would highly recommend Rita from Sage to help assist you and your family during what can be a complex and stressful process of navigating senior care needs.

I needed to find an assisted living facility for my mom after her stay at a short term rehabilitation facility. The social worker got in touch with Rita who was in touch with us immediately. She gave us many potential options while also completely understanding the emotional impact of making a decision like this. Rita quickly used her contacts in the industry to set up meetings at facilities that matched our needs, as well as attended the meetings with us to guide us through the process. We were able to find a great facility that met all my mother’s needs and my family’s needs.

I am very grateful to Rita for guiding our family so professionally and thoughtfully through this process.

Rita was recommended to me by a facility that was unable to accommodate our needs. My son, who suffers from the effects of a stroke/TBI 8 years ago, was moving back into the area after a divorce. Rita found us a facility that could accommodate his needs and worked with us to make this happen in a quick and efficient manner. Rita was caring and listened to our concerns about care and services that we requested. She was knowledgeable, communicative and responsive. When the time comes we will be reaching out to Rita again.

Our Aunt & Uncle have REALLY been struggling, but we had no idea how much until their daughter & caregiver became very ill, went on hospice and passed away. Our Aunt has advancing dementia and our Uncle struggles with multiple medical/physical issues. Rita came to their house on a rainy Sunday afternoon and met with their children and our extended family. Rita was informative, patient & kind. She included our Uncle in the "hard" conversations and had solutions to their challenge of remaining in their home safely. Unfortunately, my Uncle is not ready to make any changes yet but Rita is calling every week to follow up and we know we'll be using her to get them safely into their next chapter as soon as possible. If you're looking for an Advisor with firsthand education & knowledge of care giving and someone with incredible connections in the Healthcare community, call Rita. She is incredible!

Rita from SAGE has truly been a Godsend! My mom’s health declined quickly. She has been in and out of the hospital and rehab. I knew she wasn’t going to be able to continue living at home. Rita arranged tours of assisted living facilities I was interested in seeing and even accompanied me on the tours. Afterwards, she provided me with an overview of our visits with the pros and cons I mentioned after each visit. I was able to make a decision on the best match for my mom. Thank you Rita!
