Assisted Living Locators Northern Arizona

Ashley went out of her way to find a home for my mother and brother not only on New Year’s Eve but New Year’s Day. There is no way I could have done it alone. I beyond recommend her and her service.Garry Abbott

In a time of disintegrating customer service and communication skills, ALLoNA is a more than welcomed exception. I could not have relocated my father to a new assisted living facility straight from the hospital within 48 hours without all that they did to make it hapen (especialy considering I was stuck in New Jersey and unable to make it out there).-Tom S.

Ashley from Assisted Living Locators compassionately listened to me and my family’s wishes. I think because Ashley has a medical background coupled with having walked recently walked in my shoes; she knows. She knows how to navigate through the placement process, she knows what information to ask the case workers at the hospitals. She knows how difficult this process is. Ashley has worked alongside the people in this community building relationships. She came highly referred. Ashley arranged in this crazy Covid times, a beautiful care home for my dad. She arranged transportation and hospice services from an attentive service. All because ‘Ashley knows’. This should be her slogan. Guess this says it better – Ashley’s Heart Knows! From the bottom of my heart, thank you Ashley for your service and for caring as much as you do!

As a care home owner, I have worked with many placement agencies over the years. I want to share my experience with Ashly Blackwell. She truly is an angel in our community. Yes she is professional, knowledgeable, responsive , an RN, loving and caring etc. etc. etc. but what stands out for me is her dedication to follow through in making the transition of moving your loved one as seamless as possible. She helps us coordinate everything from paperwork with doctors and hospital discharge ,arranging home health, physical therapy, to helping coordinate with a new pharmacy and even getting equipment set up on time, etc etc etc . Whatever we need, she is there for us as well as for the family . This is a rare quality that I appreciate so much. She takes pride in her profession and it shows! I am proud to say that I support and recommend her unconditionally! Iam proud and honored to have her represent me and my carehome.

This was the best phone call I ever made. I was not sure what to do or how to do it when my mother was suddenly in need of assisted living. We had looked into keeping her at home with around the clock care and quickly realized the cost was astronomical! There was definitely no way she could afford it.I received this information from the hospital before she went into rehab and called. When I spoke to Ashley she was very helpful and we set up appointments to visit different assisted living places in the area. We were able to get my mother into a great place. She was fine there for awhile. When she had another issue and was in the hospital for another 10 days we decided to look into a different place for her. I called Ashley again and again she was wonderful and helped us find a better place for my mother. She and my family are very happy with her care and could not have done it without Ashley and the Assisted Living Locators of Northern Arizona.

Dearest Ashly Blackwell of Assisted Living Locators Northern Arizona,This is in no way going to fully express my sincere and fullest admiration and appreciation for you, your business, your time, your compassion, your advice, your expertise, your experience, your advocacy, your full attention to detail, your family...for giving me YOUR EVERYTHING in helping our family through a crisis situation with my Dad.We had no idea how to navigate a dementia "breakdown" that occurred with him where he was combative, inconsolable, confused, frightened and unrecognizable.This led to police involvement, a fall, and an ED admission. He was not safe to himself or others and we had no plan, no resources, no idea of where to go or what to do, let alone even begin knowing where to start.Your information was provided to me by the Arizona Crisis Team (THANKYOU ACT!). I called and you answered by prayers and dire need for help. You spoke so calmly and knowledgeable about what I was going through. You were forthright and honest in your assessment of my options and I thank you for your candor and trust. You guided me through the monstrous process of admitting him into the capable hands of Christopher Zambakari and Desert Haven of Arizona. You were constantly present and available until the process was complete.You advocated on my behalf with the hospital staff when they were ready to discharge him without regards to his or my family's safety. Your reassurance of the path we were on and the quick decisions we were having to make were like a blanket of comfort. The unbelievable knowledge and experience you have with the jargon and bureaucratic BS in dealing with such institutions is parallel to none.My family cannot thank you enough for all you have done for us. We will never forget how steadfast and strong you were while we wavered into unknown territory. You will be our first thought when encountering others that will no doubt need to navigate such life changing circumstances with their loved ones. HUGE THANK YOU TO YOU ASHLY BLACKWELL!!

When faced with the daunting task of needing to find a facility for a family member, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information I found on line. Thankfully, there was a link to Ashley's service. I knew from the moment I heard her voicemail message, she was someone special. I received a call back within minutes and my first impression was confirmed. Her knowledge, guidance, compassion and commitment were beyond my expectations. Having never had to deal with a situation such as this, having an advocate as wonderful as Ashley significantly reduced my stress level. Thanks to her, we found the perfect place.We highly recommend her and the valuable service she provides. Thank you Ashley!

We are so thankful for Ashley Blackwell and her help and guidance in finding the right Assisted Living facility in the Prescott area for our disabled Veteran. Ashley was professional and enjoyable to work with and our friend is thriving in his new apartment.

In short:"Excellent help finding a place for my brother and excellent help months later finding a way to keep him settled AND reduce costs."The longer version:Ashley Blackwell helped us find a place for my father-in-law's brother, a veteran. That process went so well we didn't really think too much about it.Fast forward one year: His care needs have increased, the costs are taxing his budget, and now we're in a pandemic which means availability is limited. After 3 weeks with a terrifyingly incompetent agency that others had suggested, and a week of fruitless phone calls on our own, we finally remembered: ASHLEY!!!In less than an hour, she came up with an idea that resolved all the issues, talked to all involved parties to see if it could work, and got it all confirmed.There are no words to convey our relief and our appreciation for your phenomenal expertise and kindness.THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
