She is organized and developed a management team to achieve outstanding care management objectives by focusing on the needs of seniors at Brookdale Senior Living. She presented leadership development sessions with the staff and hospital employees to make sure that the seniors we cared for were receiving the highest levels of care and she coordinated a specific resident service plan focusing on positive quality relationships with residents and their immediate families. Julie has always gone above and beyond my expectations when it comes to meeting the needs of seniors.

What people say...
Dear Julie - On behalf of Bea and her entire family, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You were always professional, as well as compassionate, with every situation! You always knew exactly what to request, as well as how to evaluate the situation. No matter what time of day or night... you were always there for Bea and our family. Thank you for being Bea's "Doctor lol", "Family Therapist", sounding board and hand holder. We will always be grateful forever to you.
Dr. Levin & Family
We cannot thank you enough for your loving care of our Father. He had an amazing last few years due to your care, guidance and support. We just knew from the moment we hired you that we were "all" in good hands. You became part of our family. We honestly can say you were the best referral we have ever gotten and we don't know where we would be with you.
