Choice Connections was the perfect starting point for us when faced with the task of finding more appropriate care for our loved one. Lisa was with us through the whole process and has circled back numerous  times to make sure that our choice was still a good fit . The temporary solutions that she offered to our problems were insightful and invaluable in keeping my mom safe and happy. We have recommended Lisa to numerous friends already.

I first met Lisa in the Fall of 2017. My Mom's health was declining and I needed to find a senior community for her in a short timeframe. The task was very overwhelming with so many communities to choose from in the Richmond area. Lisa came to the rescue! We discussed Mom's needs and interests and she quickly identified a list of potential communities. Lisa was professional, responsive, and added a personal touch that I really needed while making this emotional decision. Mom enjoys her new home and while it has been a journey, we are so thankful for Choice Connections for making the right match for our family.

“As an update, and a most sincere “Thank You,” Sara and I (with the help of Tender Care) moved Bob from the rehab to the Assisted Living.  By all accounts, the transition went smoothly and was relatively void of any agitation for Bob.  As we left him yesterday at his new Assisted Living home, he seemed to be resting comfortably and was awaiting a hearty lunch from Elisha and Dawn, both very welcoming and caring.

 It was our understanding that Hospice Services would come by later in the afternoon.  Of course, we will follow up to insure all is in place. 

We can’t thank you enough for your time, energy, expertise and caring in helping us find a solution for Bob (and our family).  Sara and I both feel that the environment and care will be a blessed fit.

 Again, many thanks to you!  We have been blessed by your skills and caring.”

“Two years ago, my brother and I began our journey to find a “home away from home” for our 90+ year old mother. Dawn Michelle was recommended to us as someone who could help us navigate this overwhelming world of assisted living choices. She was a godsend! Dawn knew these facilities inside and out, so was able to provide us with educated guidance. As Mom faced some health challenges while we were still interviewing, Dawn went above and beyond to find us additional places that more appropriately met Mom’s changing needs. Dawn was always a wonderful listener, showing patience and kindness to us along the way. Because of her diligence and support, we were able to place Mom in a lovely Memory Care facility that feels like such a “good fit” for her.”

I am writing to commend Dawn for her outstanding service to me and my wife Hannah. Hannah suffers mid to late stage Alzheimer’s Dementia and I could no longer provide sufficient care for her in our home. From the moment Dawn met Hannah to assess her needs, through all of her counsel and communication with me, during numerous tours and assistance in the decision process, culminating yesterday in assisting Hannah move to and settle into her new home, Dawn has been simply magnificent. I truly believe Dawn is an angel, and Hannah and I have been blessed to be in her care. Lisa, I am available to provide Dawn and Choice Connections the most glowing referrals on demand, you have only to ask. Thank you for the wonderful service you provide.

We could not have been more impressed with Lisa Hollier and her Choice Connections Team. Lisa's knowledge of the Central Virginia senior communities obviously comes from years of experience. She thoroughly vetted our needs, our travel limitations, our resources, etc. and presented us with options that met our requirements, along with arranging "tours" of those communities we were most interested in for our family member. Most important, her professionalism, networks AND caring were omnipresent throughout the process, ultimately (and expeditiously) finding us the perfect solution. Again, kudos to Lisa and her Choice Connections Team!

“Delores exudes compassion, has an extensive knowledge of the various health-care settings and the resources our Hampton Roads community has to offer. Her kindness and calm demeanor are exactly what families need when facing the difficult decisions of placing a loved one. I highly recommend Delores and the wonderful services Choice Connections provides.”

— Heather Withrow, R.N.

 

Lisa's guidance was a lifesaver at a very stressful time for us. She prioritized working with us in a very compressed timeframe and provided excellent guidance.


"I wanted to take this time to thank Delores for helping our family during a difficult time. Delores is a very professional, knowledgeable, and most of all kind and caring person. She assisted us with a difficult discharge plan and found a wonderful facility to care for our loved one . I am so grateful for the opportunity to have met Delores and so very pleased with the care our loved one received. During such a difficult time God sent us an Angel. Thank you forever."

I can't thank Lisa enough for helping us navigate the process of finding a retirement community for my dad. She was super knowledgeable, friendly and easy to communicate with. Her relationships with the communities in Richmond make the tours and scheduling easier as well. Thank you so much!


Lisa at Choice Connections is a gift. She helped my parents find an assisted living facility that met all their requirements on short notice. We wouldn't have been able to manage this process without her help. Lisa showed care and compassion not only for my parents, but for me and my siblings as well.

Lisa and Choice Connections were delightful to work with, I recommend them to anyone who needs assistance!

- Susan


Absolutely amazing! I don’t recall which healthcare-related person recommended Lisa, but I’m so glad they did. Lisa is caring, thoughtful, patient, knowledgeable and an excellent listener. She understood the challenges we face and provided guidance on all aspects of this very tough transition. It was important to us that my mom was in a safe and vibrant community where the staff and management care about the well-being of their residents. We also needed nice and new accommodations. She understood our concerns and took my brothers and mom to visit a few places based on what our needs were (I had covid and couldn’t be there in person but was on FaceTime the whole time). We were pleased with our final selection and Lisa was there every step of the way. She went above and beyond my expectations and I’ve recommended her services to everyone I know who is trying to make sure their parents are in the best environment possible to live a happy life.

“Lisa is an amazing asset for anyone evaluating senior living options. She was exceptionally helpful when we had to move my mother-in-law into the area very suddenly. Just chatting with Lisa gave my husband peace of mind that we could make the right decision during what was a very stressful situation. She also was extremely helpful in advising us on resources to assist with my mother-in-law's health needs related to MS. On top of her knowledge and connections, Lisa is wonderfully kind and compassionate. Highly recommend!”

— Mindy


“My experience with Choice Connections was great! I needed a great place for my mom to be cared for as her advancing Alzheimer’s was too difficult for me to continue to care for her myself. As my unique circumstances proved difficult for me to find a place that was the right fit for my mother, Dawn helped me through everything. I didn’t even know where to begin my search but Dawn was very patient with me and explained everything about the whole process. Dawn helped me find the perfect place for my mother that fit all of her needs and finances. Mom is so happy in her new memory care facility, I can not thank Dawn enough! I would highly recommend Choice Connections to anyone that needs help finding the right place for their loved one. These kinds of decisions are hard enough but they make it a lot easier.”
