What Our Clients Are Saying

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you and Jean for helping me, as to what I saw as an impossible task. Jean’s experience and and knowledge were able to guide us through the minefield of Alzheimer problems. But I would also like to thank both of you for the support you gave me to help me through this terrible ordeal. Thank you again. I will be forever grateful to both of you. And to you Nikki, thank you so much for finding and recommending these wonderful people to me."

Dan D., Boynton Beach

Dear Judie: I am so grateful to Jean,, and you, for putting in place this level of caring for Mom. I appreciate the thorough reports detailing situations, medications, challenges and successes. Jean is giving the attention and support that I wanted Mom to have. I am relieved and I am truly grateful. Thank you so much.

Karen K, Mill Valley, CA

"Judie and her team are first rate. They understand the issues surrounding elder care and have made it possible for our Mom to continue living in her home. My sisters and I live in the northeast and we would have had to move our Mom into assisted living by now, probably up here, and certainly against Mom’s wishes, but Preferred Lifestyle Services has made it possible to let her stay in her home for now. It gives us considerable comfort to know that a caring and sophisticated organization is ‘minding the store’ – managing visits, medical appointments, and just making sure that our mother is as happy and content as her condition will allow. I would heartily recommend Judie and the team to anyone dealing with difficult elder care issues."

"You and your staff provide the best geriatric care management that I know of. You have saved the lives of several incapacitated people that I know through my guardianship practice, and dramatically impacted the lives of several other patients. All this has been possible due to your professionalism and that of your associates, such as Jean Sibery, and your collective street smarts, which should not be underestimated."

"Preferred Lifestyle deals with the craziest s%^t you can imagine, and doesn’t go crazy themselves. Whether it’s repeated police visits to our Mom’s place because she can’t remember her security system’s alarm code, or managing our gonzo uncle who can’t remember what his relatives look like, or playing hide-and-seek with our mother’s car keys, Judie and the team handle it all with aplomb. They could write a book based on all the crazy s%^t they see each day, and chances are they probably will. Preferred Lifestyle Services, where fact is stranger than fiction. Check ‘em out."

I am happy to recommend Elyse + PLS to any family in need of Care Management Services for their loved ones. Elyse is capable, organized and highly responsive to a multitude of challenges our parents have, particularly within the pandemic environment. Despite the gravity and vital need to maintain out parent's safety, Elyse is always a welcomed voice of reason and integrity. Not only is Elyse knowledgeable about their day to day medical issues, she is also able to adeptly assess their emotional state and coordinate practical interventions when needed.

Elyse is an exceptionally pleasant and cheerful person to work with. Numerous times she has calmed our worries by resolving problems that arise in an efficient and timely manner. Elyse consistently extends herself going above and beyond expectations.

We all benefit from the secure joy our parents experience being well taken care of by Elyse and her oversight of the team assisting them in their home.

Judie,

When we met five years ago I told you how much I loved my 93 year old mother and my only goal was for her to have the best care possible to enjoy the remainder of her life.

I also told you she was a gentle lady with a rod of steel down her back, was a little confused, had exceptional manners (I call her the Queen), had specific routines for dressing, dining and household issues and expected her in-home staff to honor her way of life. You said PLS could make that happen and you did - and you are still keeping her safe today.

Last week you, Jean and Jessie joined her and eight other "friends" at my club for her 98th birthday!! She was happy, looked marvelous, ate well, and throughly enjoyed herself.

When Mom fell and fractured her tailbone last year and I was out of town Judie, Jean and Jessie sprang into action. When Mom came home from the hospital PLS brought in supplies and equipment from outside medical supplies, monitored and supervised all the details of her new complicated needs and had the house ready to receive her when she came home. You staffed her with nurses, taught her existing staff how to mange her new needs, monitored her food intake, managed the medications, stayed in contact contact with her physician to make sure he was up to date, made sure the entire staff worked as a team, and tended to multiple other issues.

You oversaw her recovery 24/7 and although some had doubt if she would be active and walking again, "the Trio" as I call you, never doubted she would do so. Thank God you believed, because she walked into her party with one caregiver on each arm smiling and happy to be at such a great celebration.

You, Jessie and Jean and the other team members have been a life saver for Mom, and a life saver for me and mu husband, We came to you overwhelmed and you quietly helped me return to being a "daughter" while still caring for my Mother.

My husband and I consider Jessie, Jean and you, Judie, to be part of our family.

Thank you ALL!!!!!

To Whom it May Concern:

My law practice has had the good fortune to rely on the knowledge and expertise of Judie Rappaport and her PLS Team for over 25 years.

Here's why:

• Judie and her team have a sterling reputation among Trust Officers and Attorney's in Martin County.
• The PLS Team is well known to local facilities and they recommend PLS to families without hesitation or fear of problems.
• PLS has kept my clients in their own home longer, keeping them healthier, and giving them a better quality of life and more dignity than they had known in many years.
• PLS brings peace of mind to families to a degree they believed was lost to them forever.
• PLS never sends caregivers in to clients' homes for interview without personally pre-interviewing the caregivers to be certain their skills and personalities match the client's personalities and needs.
• In fact, when clients came to our practice with caregivers who are not performing to the level of PLS, we routinely recommend their families call PLS to compare their services, supervision, and management of caregivers to help maximize and maintain client's quality of life, independence, and dignity.
• PLS does not create revenue from the fees clients pay for caregivers or from the materials they obtain for clients via doctor's orders. Their fees are based solely on time spent for Care Management services: care planning, coordination of services, supervision, and management of caregivers to help maximize and maintain client's quality of life, independence, and dignity.
• If our clients go to the hospital at 3pm in the afternoon or 3am in the middle of the might, PLS meets them there and advocates for them with all the information PLS has accumulated during Care Management. Doctors especially appreciate the teams knowledge of our clients medical history, list of medications and lists of other physicians who are treating the patient, all of which allows the hospital to proceed more quickly with the appropriate treatment.
• My trust in PLS also comes from their honorable business practices: PLS does not give or accept referral fees; the company has no affiliation or contract with any nursing home, hospital, medical supply store, physician, or any other business.
• Clients obviously recognize their wide-ranging knowledge. Judie Rappaport's book, Eldercare 911, was in my reception area. One of my clients was so enamored of it that she actually stile a copy from our office. (Judie simply replaced the book, with extra book in case the replacement also went missing)

Finally, my trust in PLS comes from my personal experience with PLS Care Managers during their time caring for my family.

You will not regret hiring this Team.

Sincerely,

Sonia M
