“Lisa Krauss and her team at Growing Options are by far the best elder care team that I have ever worked with. Lisa is professional, responsive, and caring. She is an expert in the field of elder care – and can help you with EVERY aspect of caring for your elderly parent or loved one. She has helped me with every aspect of my mother’s care. Lisa will help you through the challenges that our aging parents and loved ones are facing. She will treat your parent or loved one with respect, care, loving kindness, and professionalism. I highly highly highly recommend hiring Lisa and Growing Options.”

“Lisa and her Growing Options team have attended to our older sister for more than 5 years. We live out of state, our sister has several health issues and we now have full confidence she is well cared for, and most important, our sister trusts and feels very comfortable with Lisa and her team!”

“I enthusiastically recommend Growing Options as a wonderful and caring group of professionals to work with. Carly and her team provided expert oversight and care to my aunt for 3 years. They consistently communicated with us when necessary and made thoughtful suggestions to manage difficult situations. Carly always asked us about our values and helped us to clarify what was important to us as a family. This ensured dignity and respect for my aunt in the last years of her life. I never questioned their motives and always trusted their judgment. They were compassionate, reliable, friendly, and all around great to work with. Call them today!”

“Lisa and her team have been providing assistance managing our elderly sister in Naugatuck CT for many years. Their services are comprehensive and incredibly valuable for our sister allowing her to continue to live independently with both physical and mental disabilities. This has provided our family with peace of mind and improved our sister’s quality of life immeasurably (we believe even saved her life more than once). We could not give Growing Options a better recommendation.”

“Our family has used Growing Options to help us coordinate care for an elderly family member for over 4 years now. Both Carly Cartisano and Lisa Krauss are caring, knowledgeable, respectful, and very reliable. Thanks to them and their network of trusted providers, our family member has received outstanding care and support and is safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Growing Options as care managers!”

“My grandmother suffers from dementia. Just when I had lost all hope of keeping my grandmother in her own home, I met Lisa Krauss, of Growing Options. Through Lisa’s expertise and care, my grandmother’s quality of life has greatly improved and she remains happily in the home she has known all of her adult life with a loving caregiver found by Lisa. It is clear from working with Growing Options that all of their clients are a priority, and they genuinely cares for each and every one. Lisa and I have faced many difficulties during my grandmother’s journey with dementia, and she has been there for both my grandmother and me every step of the way. I no longer feel so helpless and alone in navigating through the challenges of this horrible disease. I am so grateful for Lisa!”

“Growing Options provided loving support, guidance and care for my mother over the past few years. It is so challenging to deal with the aging of a loved one and the associated care requirements over time. Lisa Krauss and Growing Options provided the sensitive support and guidance we needed at a very difficult time. I would highly recommend her skilled support to anyone facing the challenge of caring for a loved one who is facing the challenges of age and the associated loss of capability.

— Anne Mulcahy – Fairfield, Connecticut

“Lisa Krauss, and her team at Growing Options, have been an invaluable resource over the past 1½ years. As my mother’s health has deteriorated, she has provided our entire family with support and counseling, while never losing sight of the fact that her primary advocacy role is for her patient. Her plain speaking to her patient and family allowed my mother to articulate, and her children to truly understand her wishes, and make decisions with those in mind. Her access to trained caregivers allowed Mom to stay at home until recently. When that was no longer possible, she helped us navigate the transition to a skilled-care facility without sacrificing the personal attention that has given her comfort. We were all frightened and thinking only about the crisis that brought us to Lisa initially. She encouraged us to begin talking about the long-term, providing information and resources to educate us every step of the way.  Navigating the process of a family member aging with dementia is painful for everyone. Aided by Growing Options, our family is providing the care, dignity and respect that our mother deserves.”
