Services

Quality service at reasonable rates are what every family needs when they are faced with caregiving challenges. I respect that every case is unique, so pricing for services are tailored to every clients needs and circumstances. During a 30 minute no cost consultation, the client’s specific needs are determined and pricing set. A service agreement will be signed prior to services commencing.  To schedule a 30 minute no obligation consult, email 4u2mend@gmail.com with the words 30 MINUTE CONSULTATION in the subject line or call (703) 618-3372.
