Owner, ReAssured Advocacy

I highly recommend Debra Kooser. She is very compassionate, knowledgeable, patient and professional. I did not know where to begin when looking for a place for my mom and Debra was so supportive and helpful answering all of my questions and concerns, setting up appointments for me to look at locations, and meeting me there. We found the perfect place for my mother and I couldn’t be more grateful.

Debra instantly took the stress and anxiety off of my plate when she told me she would take me to tour different types of assisted living facilities and explain how they each operate. She helped me figure out what was important to us and knew the questions to ask. I highly recommend Debra

Debi was so helpful in finding a memory care facility for our dad. Debi’s knowledge and compassion was very helpful when making the decisions about different types of homes and locations needed for our dad’s care. Our dad is now in a great home care facility. We would highly recommend Debi Kooser to take care of your special loved one!
