Vivian has had my back for several years now. As a senior with multiple health problems, sometimes I need someone to help negotiate healthcare, insurance and just life issues. I know if I suddenly go in the hospital Vivian can help me out as she has proven several times. At one point a few years ago, assisted living was considered. Vivian crunched the numbers and showed me a spreadsheet letting me realize I could stay independent a while longer. With my permission, she coordinates my care, if needed, with my sister in another state. Both my sister and I feel much more comfortable with my living independently with Vivian and the others at Preferred Living standing ready to help when needed.
Vivian McLaurin is an angel on Earth. Vivian helped me move my mother with dementia into assisted living from out of state to Raleigh in a very short period of time during a pandemic. Vivian shows professionalism and compassion in everything she does. She continues to help me navigate the complex system of managed care for my parent on a regular basis. I will be forever grateful for all that Vivian has done for my mother and me.
Contacted Preferred Living Solutions (Vivian) for help with finding resources for my mom (81 years old). We needed help quickly, after one phone call, Vivian understood the situation in its entirety and in few days they provided us with multiple solutions to help with the care of my mom.I highly recommend their services!!! they did an amazing job and are very comforting to have on our side during a very stressful situation.
Super helpful to our elderly relatives in NC when all other family is dispersed all over the country. Learned everything I know about elder care from these folks & got excellent referrals to other outside services in their locale. Realistic pricing & clear but flexible contract to maximize available benefits & adjust to evolving needs. Just super, super helpful. Really glad I found them.
I recently had the privilege of mutually serving a client with Vivian from Preferred Living Solutions. She guided this client through a very challenging life transition with the highest level of professionalism while exuding grace and understanding through the entire journey. Its a true pleasure to serve the senior community alongside folks like Vivian who deeply care for their clients. I Highly Recommend Vivian and the Preferred Living Solutions Team!
Cannot say enough good about the folks at Preferred Living Solutions. I was dealing with the terminal illness of my wife, when my mother had a stroke and had to be hospitalized. Needless to say, I was overwhelmed, but when I was referred to PLS,, I found the help I needed.Ashley went right to work, arranging for in home care and coordinating my mothers discharge from the hospital to the perfect time for me to get there. She returned to the house with us to make sure all was as it should be, and then continued to help us over the next few months with numerous issues. She helped my mother, and she saved me by always having my back, and knowing just what to do when needed.I highly recommend their services, and thank them for the much needed help.
My friend was at wits end about finding a new independent living retirement home in which to live.After trips to several apartment homes and to retirement homes, there was still no good fit.Another friend introduced me to Beth Levine, Aging Life Care Manager from Preferred Living Solutions. Within two days, Beth was able to find the perfect solution—an Independent Living Retirement Community that was affordable provided three meals/day/had physical therapy on-site/medical care on-site. It had a convenient location, transportation to specialty doctors, etc.—Everything that was needed was at the facility.Beth made it so easy. Within a very reasonable time, the client was in the new facility. Beth had signed up a primary care doctor, a digestive care doctor helped organize medications (dates, quantity, times to be taken.)Beth has been very professional in all her dealings with my friend, even finding reduced costs for dental work that was badly needed.Beth has always been conscientious about setting up appointments, securing transportation, keeping track of appointments, calling with friendly reminders, etc.She has been most diligent about any follow-ups that were essential. She is an excellent communicator with me, keeping me apprised of events before they were happening, and asking me for help with transportation for the client if needed.Beth has been constantly “on the ball” with everything. So much so, that one day I asked Beth, “Do you ever stop Working?”Beth has been like an angel from heaven who came into our lives just at the right time. I would highly recommend Beth Levine if you need help with any Senior Living service.
Beth Levine has been a wonderful care-manager for me. She is a fine communicator and always follows up on what she says. She has advocated for me within the Medicare/Medicaid system. She has made appropriate referrals for me to excellent legal professionals. She is kind, interested, supportive and available. I trust her fully and Im grateful she keeps an eye on my case ongoingly! Strongly recommend....
Beth was a Godsend to my family. My parents had been caring for my uncle (who had Alzheimers) for several years. When they became unable to continue, my Mom became overwhelmed with the process of finding a good fit for him. Upon finding Beth, she took the torch and made everything easy and seamless for my Mom. She helped secure a place for my uncle and communicated with us as things came up either by phone or Zoom. She truly made my Moms life easier during a very difficult time for her. I cant say enough good things!
Preferred Living Solutions has been a God send in assisting with my parents healthcare. I live out-of-state, but Vivian accompanies my parents to their doctor appointments, provides reports to me and explains/reinforces the doctor’s instructions. She also checks in on them and provides a knowledgeable, comforting resource when I cannot be there.I highly recommend Preferred Living Solutions.
Excellent team that provided much needed help and support during a rough two years in a family members life. Highest recommendation.
I was in a predicament with caregiver burnout and knew I needed to get more assistance for my elderly mother when I found out about Preferred Living Solutions. I reached out to them and was connected to Vivian. She was an absolute Godsend! Not only did she help me navigate the complex terrain of being a child of an elderly parent with changing needs, she was very patient with me, as I was stressed and overwhelmed with what was ahead of me. There were many pieces of the “puzzle” I had to put together to get mom placed in the right situation. Vivian researched all the options and even visited some facilities on my behalf when I had to work. Vivian and Preferred Living Solutions continue to provide me with their support and knowledge when I need it. I truly cannot not recommend their services enough, as they are experts in all things elder care management!
Great help from Preferred Living Solutions, their booklet is a wonderful resource to guide you through conversations with elder relatives.
As a family scattered across the map, we could never have managed dads evolving needs without the resourceful, compassionate guidance of Beth Levine. Beth brings a rare combo of pragmatic problem solving and emotional generosity to her work, making her an invaluable asset as challenges inevitably arise during dads advancing years. Her understanding of elderly life transitions -- and the planning that these require -- mean that we have an expert set of eyes locally and a partner in advocating for the best possible care. Beths long career in education has only enriched her natural warmth as a communicator. A deep and attentive listener, shes extremely easy to talk to and works wonderfully with families. The Blum family strongly recommends Beth Levine to help navigate the complex landscape of eldercare which can otherwise leave loved ones feeling so overwhelmed.- Laura Blum
Very unprofessional and unethical staff
