Our goal is to raise the standards of this industry so seniors and their families don’t have to settle for a telephone call and an email to find a quality assisted living services. The excellent service providers in the nation deserve a better service delivery system so they can concentrate on what they do best, giving quality care, not chasing leads of questionable quality.”
Bongiovanni, a social worker by trade stated that “CarePatrol uses the Social Work model in our service delivery with our clients. Our clients are never “leads”, they are families and families deserve choices, services and a friendly hand to hold or a shoulder to lean on.
