What Our Clients Say About Mark

Mark was fantastic in helping us find an AFH for my Mom. He took a big load off our shoulders at a stressful time, after the Memory Care facility told us they could no longer safely care for her. In very short order, Mark identified a number of AFHs that he felt might work for us, given what we told him we were looking for. He arranged all the visits, and was very good at asking all the right questions (and answering ours). A very compassionate person, Mark came through for us, and we will always be grateful for everything he did to help us.

Craig

Redmond

Silver Age Senior Housing Referrals came into our lives at the perfect time. A friend recommended Mark to me, and from our very first conversation, I felt relieved to know I wasn't alone in finding a safe and affordable adult family home for my father. Caring for someone with dementia is incredibly stressful, but Silver Age helped alleviate my confusion and concerns, guiding me at every step of the process. I am so grateful for this service!

Amy

Marysville

Mark of the Silver Age team quickly identified four adult family homes that met our criteria. We visited our top choice, and he helped us move quickly to secure a spot. I was skeptical that an adult family home was the right choice, and now that my mom is settled and content in a beautiful and caring home environment, I can’t imagine a better place for her.
