I recently visited with Brandon at the Waukee, IA location regarding a family member who is dealing with dementia. She lives several states away and up till now has been dependent on help from neighbors and friends. I was looking for advice on how best to arrange proper help for her.Brandon was more than willing to help answer my questions. He listened to me describe the situation and was glad to make phone calls on my behalf to some of the care agencies where my family member lives. Later than afternoon I received a call from one of those agencies who put me in contact with the right people who could help me.His assistance was exactly what I needed. In less than 2 days, thanks to Brandon taking the time to steer me in the right direction, I have arrived at what appears to be a workable solution in helping my family member receive the qualified assistance she needs. When I didn't know what to do or who to call, Brandon took over and introduced me to the right people!I can't thank Brandon enough for his understanding, professional guidance, time and willingness to help. I give him 10 stars out of 5!!!!! What a relief for me and my family to have met him!
