Laurie T.S. Adamshick

After my father passed away, my mother and I met with our trust attorney, who my parents had been working with for years, Tom Rulon, who informed us of a new service he and Laurie Adamshick had launched to assist families like ours navigate care options for their elderly members. I was so happy this ...was available to us as I'd never heard of this type of service. It was a natural extension of their trust services in my opinion and at a reasonable fee. My mother agreed to sign up and so glad we did. For both my mother and I, it was a relief to have a knowledgeable team to ask questions, give us advice and let us know of the best options while I could focus on the medical attention. My mother also felt it took some of the pressure off of me and it really did as I had felt alone and uninformed dealing with the situation plus I live on the mainland coordinating care from afar. Laurie and I worked together on the thorough assessment including personal, medical and financial matters. We continued care at home, Laurie recommending a very professional service, compared to what we had had, with a dedicated team. This worked well until medical issues made it necessary to move my mother to a nursing home. One thing we were not aware of until we were into the process is that in Hawaii the nursing homes are 95% full, so it is difficult to find room. Because my mother had an acute heart condition, Kaiser was able to find a room through their affiliations. Laurie and the care team had excellent communication always available by text message or phone daily. We would problem-solve together. My mother was always included in discussions and decisions were ultimately left up to her. We felt Laurie to be professional yet having the aloha spirit, very caring and nurturing. I highly recommend hiring Laurie Adamshick to assist in your elder care planning.
