Kind Words

Essential Next Steps recently helped move my 80-something mother from her independent living apartment to an assisted living facility.  Leah and Jon Harlig coordinated everything!  From downsizing and dispersal of 'stuff' to supervision of the movers.  They offered patience and kindness and just the right amount of 'push' to keep mom focused.  Essential Next Steps provided confidence and comfort to my family during this stressful time.  And thanks to Leah and Jon, my mother is now in a beautiful and functional living space, surrounded by treasured belongings.  She loves it!

I wanted to thank you for doing such an incredible job moving our new residents into Silverado with such short notice and over a holiday weekend. They stated you were a lifesaver and that they could not have made it through the day without you. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your professionalism, care and partnership in working with our client. I will call you every time I have a family needing your service! I'm so thankful you took the time to come tour our community and tell me about your service. I'm even more grateful that I had you to call when I needed it.

Last year Sam and I made the monumental decision to move to a continuing care community.  Leah and Jon were instrumental in helping us decide what to take and how to fit our furniture and treasures into our much smaller space.  They measured, drew multiple furniture arrangements for each room and helped us hang our art work.  We haven't moved a thing!!  They held our hands the whole way!
