Why Clients Trust Us

  • ~ Sarah E.

    "Blue Ridge elder care has provided excellent guidance for my 80 year-old father. They're very knowledgeable, easy to work and very affordable - and they truly care - I do see another review here on Yelp and that review is clearly a disgruntled human who only leaves bad reviews- I have personally recommended Kate and Blue Ridge Elder Care team to 5 of my friends who are all struggling with a variety of issues with their own aging parents. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Highly recommend!!!"

  • ~ Patrick W.

    Navigating my wife's Alzheimer’s journey was the hardest thing I had ever faced. I was not alone thanks to Fred D. Jung and his counsel and recommendations. From our first meeting, he provided steady assistance and advice, reflecting his empathy and invaluable guidance. He offered suggestions to navigate my very difficult and impossible situations. Even after my wife’s passing, I remain grateful for the compassionate support and recommendations that he provided to me, which helped me set a direction to close my wife’s situation and move forward after her passing. 

  • ~ Gene T.

    "When my father had a stroke at 92, he had been living independently and wanted to continue to do so, but it was clear that he could no longer care for himself. He and Kate were able to come to our home and advise us on everything: making our house safer and more comfortable, daily practices we could enact, and dietary guidelines to support my father's recovery. Their service was an important safety net, in case of emergencies. In the end, my father made a remarkable recovery — to the point where he has regained his ability to live semi-independently as he approaches his 95th birthday. Fred and Kate were an essential part of helping us achieve that."

  • ~ Jana C.
