Mum Depended On Her Late Partner
John Waters
At 93, our mother lost her long-term partner, and we realised very quickly how dependent she had become on him and that she certainly couldn't live independently any longer. We needed to find our way through a thicket of regulation and process - in a hurry to find a suitable placement for our mother, Lorna.
John speaks about his experience with Danielle Robertson and DR Care Solutions, and how he can't imagine how other 'newcomers' would identify the required tasks, their sequence, and manage the whole process.
We Couldn't Find Aged Care For Dad
Andrew Maguire
We were having all sorts of trouble getting a placement at an aged care facility for Dad who is living with dementia and Parkinson's. Yet in under 24 hours after engaging DR Care Solutions, Danielle had gathered our family together and taken our history, and had us checking out different aged care facilities to see which one best suited us!
Andrew talks about his experience with Danielle Robertson and DR Care Solutions, and how the whole family are thankful for Danielle's professionalism and empathy.
We Needed Respite Care For Mum
Jason & Megan van Genderen
After almost five years of looking after Jason's mother - Hendrika 'Oma' of "Oma's Applesauce" and "Everybody's Oma" - at home, the van Genderen's were intensely nervous about taking the step of organising respite care. Considerable research only served to add confusion rather than make the pathway understandable and easy.
Jason and Megan talk about their experience with Danielle Robertson and DR Care Solutions, and how Danielle gave them the clarity, confidence and surety that immediately put all their concerns to rest.
I Could Spend Quality Time With Dad
Dylan F.
When Dylan could suddenly no longer look after his father's increased care needs, he found he had very little time to make alternative care arrangements. Dylan found Danielle and DR Care Solutions who helped him assess the best outcome for Dad and arranged a placement with a care home in which Dylan had previously been unable to secure a place.
Dylan speaks about his experience with Danielle Robertson and DR Care Solutions, and how he fondly calls her "The Care Whisperer" - she can talk to people in the care industry in a way that gets results!
Mum Had Complex Health Needs
Morgan Lander
When Morgan's mother's complex health needs and medical conditions took a turn for the worse, not only was the right care required, but it was required urgently. Morgan and the Lander family engaged DR Care Solutions to help find the right care solution swiftly for mum with amazing outcomes.
Morgan speaks about his experience with Danielle Robertson and DR Care Solutions, and how the presented options and solutions helped his family through what was a very traumatic time.
It Changed My Relationships With Dad
Philippa Rowlands
When she saw her father wasn't coping as well as he had been with his level of in-home care services, Philippa suspected he needed additional care support. She engaged DR Care Solutions, and Danielle Robertson promptly highlighted that the high care provider management fees were eating into her father's available care hours.
Philippa speaks about her experience with Danielle and DR Care Solutions, and how the recommended changes have positively impacted the dynamic of her relationship with her father.
We Struggled To Help Our Friend
Tim Clarkson
Watching a friend struggle as their degenerative disease begins its debilitating process - and life quickly becomes much more difficult - can be a tough and confusing time. So when Tim could see his friend Nick needed assistance, he contacted DR Care Solutions to see what care and help could be found.
Tim speaks about his experience with Danielle Robertson and DR Care Solutions, and how he feels "lucky" to have met Danielle, who continues to check in on Nick and his friends on a regular basis.
We Needed Urgent Aged Care Placement
Lile Judickas
When her mother needed urgent care, Lile contacted DR Care Solutions. Both in-home and residential aged care options were provided and a tour of aged care facilities organised. Danielle Robertson joined Lile on the tour, guiding her on what to look for and what questions to ask specifically for her mum's care needs.
Lile speaks about her experience with Danielle Robertson and DR Care Solutions, and how Danielle's personal support and care made all the difference to her and her mother.
If you ever need to find the best possible care home, anywhere in Australia, for someone you love, you need Danielle.
Many residential care homes could not offer my loved one a place. Danielle tirelessly approached so many over four weeks using her contacts: people who respected her reliable, discreet professionalism & appreciated her warm, friendly way.
I can't imagine how I would have survived the process without her compassionate support. There aren't enough words to express my admiration and gratitude!
Thank you, Danielle, for lifting such a weight. Your kindness goes way beyond business.
Your assistance navigating the process and finding the right carer has made an enormous difference to Mum and Dad.
I don't know how anyone manages the process with the guidance you offer.
Dad, while frail and terminally ill, advised how much he appreciated your help to find his next home.
You acted quickly and professionally and arranged in-person tours in the Tweed Heads area. You ensured there was a manual wheelchair in each location for dad. You explained things as we toured but, most importantly, you obtained the feedback from dad for each place.
It was dad's decision; he's moving in within three days of the tour. Having you guide us through the maze that is aged care helped enormously and took the pressure off all of us.
Thanks for all your help, Danielle. We could not have done it without you and dad loves you!
Knowing Dad is safe, clean and cared for is a great relief for my sister and me.
I didn't think I would feel such a weight off my shoulders. We have been so focused on Dad and his needs and wants, we have ignored what that has been doing to us and our families.
The LifePlanTM you developed for my clients is that; this is brilliant! To put it simply, you have probably saved a life (or two).
I'd like you to come and speak to my colleagues when you have time; many of them will have ageing clients who might be in a similar position as my clients. Thanks again.
Thank you for sending through the LifePlanTM.
My daughter and I spent time reading through it and are very impressed by your thoroughness. it's good to feel at ease about my future ageing challenges and know how I can call on you for assistance as I feel the need.
I appreciate your sharing your knowledge and expertise and look forward to further discussions in the future.
Exhausted after years of caring for our parents who were declining in health, we hit crisis point. With the stress of daily life, trying to find the time to understand and navigate the aged care arena and nursing homes was confusing and overwhelming.
Danielle helped find the best nursing home to suit them, RAD negotiations, and organising for our parents to be together in one room while converting the other room into a lounge room for them.
Without DR Care Solutions, I doubt we would have found such a great place so quickly that could care for them together. At such an emotional, traumatic time, they took all of our stress away. Thank you.
We were in a tough spot after Dad's fall in Tweed Heads and desperate to get him into care before the COVID-19 doors closed in Sydney.
We know DR Care Solutions moved mountains and we are forever grateful that we secured the right place for him in nearby Lane Cove.
It took a herculean effort to do this inside two weeks. We need a rest but best wishes for DR Care Solutions' future success.
Danielle's passion is to help people keep their loved ones at home when they become dependent.
My mum has been very ill for over six years, recently needing 24-hour care. Despite having financial resources and learning how to cope, there's no way that we would have managed to organise Mum the best possible care without Danielle's advice, experience and expertise. There's no doubt Danielle has given us the ability, resource and peace of mind to keep Mum at home with the best care, and her services have meant Mum's decline has slowed.
Mum is extremely grateful and feels very loved, and we know we are giving her our best.
We had 10 days to find Mum 24/7 care, complicated further by COVID-19 and Christmas.
Danielle's wealth of experience made me feel like I was in safe hands. She helped us secure a new home for Mum that we're all really happy with.
I don't think I could have been able to do it without her!
"I am living in Singapore and my parents’ health (physical and cognitive health) deteriorated. Dad was in hospital and Mum’s diagnosis of dementia and progress of deterioration meant that she couldn’t remain at home any longer. My sister-in-law had used Danielle Robertson from DR Care Solutions to find home care for her own mother and suggested I reach out to her to find my parents’ next home. We were unsure whether Dad would be coming out of hospital or when. His mobility was severely compromised. Danielle spent time with all siblings to understand Mum's and Dad’s needs, wants, and wishes; she took the time to understand who they are as people to determine which home would suit them best.
We needed to find a home that would accept the couple together with their differing care needs. Mum and Dad and two of my siblings live in the Central Coast of NSW.
Danielle commenced work quickly and efficiently and identified five homes that may have suited Mum and Dad. She undertook due diligence of the homes, arranged a day of tours and encouraged Mum to come along for the tours so she could have ‘buy in’.
Danielle ensured that Mum and Dad were clinically accepted and that the homes had a couple’s room available. Tours were undertaken in one day. Danielle walked alongside the family on this journey. Mum identified which home she felt most comfortable with.
Mum moved in soon after the tours and really enjoyed the activities (including dancing), food and being well cared for. Dad joined mum after a month or so. There was quite a long settling in period for Dad. At times, the family didn’t think he would settle at all.
I flew in to see Mum and Dad last week. They made a real effort to be happy when I was there. They told me numerous times about how lucky they were to be there. From my perspective this is the happiest that I have seen them for a long time.
Mum goes for a walk every day without Dad, just around the gardens. I suppose now that it is getting colder she will walk around the building more. I was lucky enough to be there in concert day and everyone had fun.
Mum was dancing and Dad was singing away. He remembered the chorus of Elton John’s ‘Crocodile Rock’ and we sang like drunk teenagers. Mum was dancing away…
Dad is fond of his carer Ben. Ben is soooo patient with him and because he is a bloke Dad has time for him. Ben set us up with a lunch on the balcony and both parents rave about the special treatment they were getting.
They are as happy as they can be given their situation. It’s quite sad that their decline has been so steep, and we are all still shocked.
Both parents thanked us (myself and siblings ) for finding such as nice place for them. I told Mum that even though she doesn’t remember it was her choosing with your help.
Once again thanks for your help, guidance, care and support at a time when we most needed it. It took all the stress and pressure out of an already stressful situation.

"I applaud you for working in the aged care industry, Danielle. What you do is so important!
The elderly have so much to offer the broader community and need to be settled into comfortable and safe homes that have teams who respect them. Thank you for helping us find the right new home for our loved ones.
Congratulations on eight years of caring."

"Thank you for your care and attention to detail, Danelle! We could not have achieved a smooth transition into residential care for my in-laws without you!
We were in the middle of COVID restrictions and had no idea where to start. You quickly organised a shortlist of appropriate facilities, online 'walkthroughs' and an added bonus of a few certified organisations that could help with financial advice as well.
They are both happily settled in now despite the sudden change in their living arrangements.
You were our guiding light and we're so grateful for your help... all that from following you on LinkedIn all those years ago!
Wishing you continued success - your service to families is so valuable!"

"Bob is settled in the dementia unit in care. The nurses, mainly from Nepal, are wonderful and caring. All the staff know Bob and most of them know me by name. I could not have done any of this without your help. When Jacqui and I went around to view nursing homes with you, I was in a total fog. Asking the appropriate questions to get the right outcome made it so much easier for us. I learnt a lot through the process and by having you walk by our side allowed us to 'feel' what would be the right home for Bob. So thank you Danielle, so much."

"I apologise for not contacting you before; I've been 'behind the scenes' managing all Dad's financial affairs and typically visited him on the weekend when I could escape my three young kids for a few hours. I just wanted to thank you for the expert advice and support you have provided to me and my siblings. Dad's carers were great. They provided him with company and the ability to stay in familiar surroundings until the end. I am very grateful for that. I know that's how Dad wanted it to be too. Having the support from an external person took much of the emotion out of the situation. Thanks for getting in touch and checking on us."

"Danielle Robertson was recommended by friends to my sister and myself to help us move our mother into the next stage of her living.
Danielle is a saint!! What sets Danielle apart is she does what she says. She communicates and responds immediately to any questions, problems or concerns. We were in communication for a couple of months prior as our mother, who is in her nineties, was reluctant to move, make any decisions or commit to a plan.
Then when we did need to make decisions for her, and we had to move quickly. Danielle was there.
We moved her from a large house in Brisbane to residential aged care in Sydney. No mean feat. Danielle helped us select the perfect place for our mother. It ticked all the boxes except it was not as close to our house as we would have liked. Danielle asked us to trust her and she was correct. The travel time of 30 minutes is insignificant to the care and support our mother gets in her residential aged care.
The story does not finish there. Our mother was a bit tricky to settle into the home. Every time we were unsure or unsteady in moving forward, Danielle was there with extra support for not only our mother but my sister and myself. Today, this continues six months down the track from placing our mother into residential aged care.
We are eternally grateful for the support, understanding, compassion and care Danielle shows to all our family."

"When Dad fell at home and ended up in Acute Aged Care at hospital, respite care was required.
Danielle Robertson came recommended to me by a mutual friend who had engaged her services. I reached out to Danielle and I was contacted promptly.
She met with us and obtained a very clear understanding of our urgent need to find Dad a suitable new home. A strategy plan was put in place to visit care facilities that Danielle had deemed to be suitable for Dad's needs.
We found the ideal new home for Dad quickly thanks to Danielle's diligence. She was very proactive with communication and was always ready to answer any concerns that we may have had.
The prospect of placing a parent into care is traumatic in itself, but the idea of finding a suitable facility was enough to bring on even more anxiety and worry. Danielle alleviated this angst and made the transition seamless. We were also referred to a Financial Aged Care Planner who gave us expert advice on the best way to manage assets.
I would highly recommend her services to anyone who finds themselves in such unfortunate and stressful waters.
I don't know how we would have navigated this difficult journey without her and the financial adviser."

"Our family was lucky to be referred to DR Care Solutions for advice and assistance in finding appropriate residential care for our 93-year-old mother and mother-in-law, Lorna. Danielle Robertson provided us with prompt, professional, and caring advice and guidance, understanding that the world of aged care was completely unfamiliar to us.
Danielle took care to understand Lorna's needs and helped us find an excellent residence for Lorna. It was a real comfort to our family to have Danielle help us through the difficult task of finding care for Lorna - we couldn't have done it without her."

"Danielle helped myself and my family place my dad, who's got dementia and Parkinson's. We're having all sorts of trouble getting him placed into an aged care facility.
We were put in contact with Danielle and from the very start she was great; she had our whole family in, she sat us down, and she really got to know our family history and what we're about… And, you know, within 24 hours - not even – we were off checking out different aged care facilities just to see which one best suited us. Danielle came out and met us at a few of them. She also did some walk-through tours with the staff there, she guided us into the right places to go and what would be the best suit for us and for Dad.
We ended up settling on Summit Aged Care up at Randwick and it was the best choice we could have made and if we didn't have Danielle working for us and with us, we would never have never have got there and who knows where we would have ended up.
So just wanted to, on behalf of our family, from the Maguire family, just say a really big thank you to Danielle Robertson for everything you've done, and we'd highly recommend Danielle just for her professionalism and just the ease in which she made our family feel. So once again thank you very much, Danielle, we really appreciate it."

"My sister and I needed to find a place for our father to relocate to in a very short time frame.
Danielle's experience, empathy and professionalism made the whole process painless and efficient.
Danielle met my father, visited his home, spent time getting to know him and us. As a result, the shortlist of places that we were shown demonstrated a level of understanding, insight and consideration that in itself was worth its weight in gold.
Danielle was there with us at the tours, asked all the questions that my sister and I would not have even thought to ask. She has relationships with all the homes which helps with the application process, however it's still clear that she is there on your behalf, making sure you find the place that is perfect for your loved one.
Cannot recommend enough."

"My wife, Joan, was first diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (with primary progressive aphasia) in 2018 when she was 73 years. We had been married for 50 years at that stage and it came as a shock to us all as Joan had always been healthy and was an avid exerciser. Initially, Joan's symptoms were mild and with a few adjustments, I was able to manage the situation at home. A home care assessment was organised as were assessments for respite care and permanent residential care with My Aged Care.
Over the next few years, Joan’s condition progressively deteriorated - compounded by her aphasia. Her behaviour was becoming harder to manage and the level of required support was increasing. By early 2022, it was apparent that specialist care was fast becoming a necessity.
Despite contacting 25 aged care homes in the general area seeking suitable accommodation for Joan, I had no success. However, I did manage to obtain short term respite accommodation. Unfortunately, during her time at respite, a misunderstanding occurred and in frustration, Joan hit out at one of the nurses. This was noted on Joan’s record as “aggressive behavioural tendencies”.
In June 2022, Joan had a suspected stroke and was admitted to Prince of Wales Hospital.
Following the hospital’s assessment of Joan’s condition, we were informed that Joan was unable to return home but needed to go direct to an aged care home, specialising in acute dementia care. The hospital indicated that they would be looking for us to make the appropriate arrangements within 3 weeks.
We had spent many months trying, unsuccessfully, to find suitable aged care accommodation and now we had the added pressure from the hospital for Joan to be moved on.
Coincidently, my nephew had attended a seminar presented by Danielle and recommended her to us. That was the turning point.
The initial Zoom call from Danielle gave my family and I a great deal of confidence. We were impressed with her knowledge of the aged care industry, the Government requirements, and her empathy with what we were feeling. Danielle immediately devoted some time obtaining an understand of the “pre-dementia” Joan. This enabled Danielle to prepare a comprehensive Overview for Residential Aged Care Placement document that gave the recipients a good understanding of Joan’s requirements including her likes and dislikes. In addition, Danielle recommended an appropriate aged care financial adviser to model the financial options for the aged care accommodation and undertake the means tested aged care fee assessment.
The Behavioural Management Plan prepared by the hospital featured Joan’s aggressive behavioural issues and regrettably the comments didn’t quantify the frequency or extent of these behavioural issues. This made a balanced assessment by the aged care homes difficult, and this added to the challenge of finding a suitable aged care home.
That said, Danielle was unfazed and systematically got the placement service underway, gradually expanding her area of coverage. Over 85 aged care homes were approached by Danielle. At all times, Danielle kept us informed of progress and accompanied us (either physically or virtually) to view several aged care home possibilities. Finally, after inspecting the facilities and meeting the people at a home 30 minutes from me, we were confident that we had found an aged care home that would meet Joan’s care requirements.
Joan quickly got into a regular routine there, and we have been very happy with the care she is receiving.
At the same time, the aged care accredited financial advisor proved most worthwhile and we were able to formulate a financial package which was acceptable to the provider, without having to sell the family home.
Danielle, we sincerely thank you for your prompt and caring way you went about the challenging task of finding a first-class aged care home for Joan. We sincerely appreciate your outstanding efforts and would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone in a similar position to ourselves."

"My mum had been in Wyong Hospital for nearly six weeks when they advised she was unable to return home. I am based in Sydney and was feeling the pressure of visiting Mum every weekend for the more than two months that she was in hospital. One of my work colleagues referred me to Danielle from DR Care Solutions as he felt she would be able to support me to find Mum's next home, closer to me in Sydney.
I started looking at aged care facilities myself but was quickly overwhelmed by the situation; I really didn't know where to start. Danielle was calm, professional and took the time to get to know Mum including her likes and dislikes. An overview was prepared (LifePlanTM) and sent to the top pre-vetted aged care homes close to where I live. Mum was clinically accepted and then tours to four homes began. We reduced it down to two homes we liked.
The other key issue for me was how complicated the financial issues are with aged care. Danielle introduced me to an Aged Care Accredited Financial Adviser to ensure we could afford Mum's aged care costs going forward. The desired home was chosen and Mum was transported down from Wyong Hospital into her new home. She (and I) are grateful she's close by and settled. I can't thank Danielle and her team enough for her support, empathy and care throughout this process and would encourage others in the same predicament to reach out to her."

"In May of this year my friend Anne explained to me that her husband Gordon, who I have known for many years, was in hospital after suffering a fall. Gordon has had mild dementia for some time which was exacerbated by the fall. Anne was told that he needed respite care, at least temporarily and possibly permanently. We had no idea how to find a suitable nursing home for him when the one recommended by the hospital did not prove suitable.
Gordon was a difficult patient for the hospital because of problems associated with the dementia, and we turned to Danielle for help.
Danielle stated very clearly in advance what her aims were and what the cost would be. She has more than fulfilled our expectations. I think it might have been challenging even for Danielle; she must have spent a lot of time choosing from a long list of possible places ones that would best suit Gordon, then she and Anne went to a few to look. We were so thankful that Danielle has contacts in many places, and from her experience was able to guide us.
I am delighted to say that Gordon is now comfortably settled.
There were so many difficulties involved in this and it was clearly a very emotional time for Anne and Gordon. I know that for Danielle this is her job, but her commitment went well beyond that. She is a genuinely caring person, with the experience and expertise to be able to reach a successful conclusion.
I have no reservations at all in wholeheartedly recommending Danielle; her work in this field is clearly outstanding."

"The "Eagle has landed" and best news: no ruffled feathers! Mum loves it and can't thank us all enough.
Danielle, may I take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of the family for all your assistance in navigating the minefield of aged care. Without your guidance, we certainly would have struggled to get a placement, but to achieve an outcome where Mum "loves it" is an outstanding outcome that should not be understated.
Thank you also for connecting us with an Aged Care Accredited Financial Adviser. Whilst it's still early days with them, we feel very comfortable that through you, we will be in good hands."

"I first met Danielle after accepting I would need some assistance caring for my wife.
Initially, she organised some patient and compassionate home carers, allowing me some much-needed time off.
Unfortunately, my wife's condition eventually deteriorated. She ended up in hospital with a fractured arm after yet another fall. The hospital demanded that she be moved into aged care as soon as possible and arranged to have her transferred to a facility they assured me would be satisfactory.
After touring it, I saw it was far from satisfactory and refused to consent to the transfer.
I came under intense pressure from the hospital staff to organise alternative accommodation, but none of the facilities I contacted had any places available.
Danielle dropped everything to swing into action. She fielded calls from (increasingly belligerent) hospital staff, reached out to her care industry contacts, quickly organised tours of several excellent facilities, and arranged for my wife to be moved into the one I liked best within 48 hours.
Danielle was there for us when we most needed her. I have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone who may need a skilled and passionate advocate during a challenging time."

"When my father, who I'd been looking after for the previous 18 months or so as his primary carer, was suddenly in a position where we could no longer look after him, I was then in a very difficult position. It was particularly difficult because even with the care providers coming into our home, we couldn't continue to look after him, and I had a very short amount of time to arrange anything.
I discovered Danielle and spoke with her. Her experience was so clear, so obvious, and she spent time with me to really help me think about what was going to be the best outcome and best result for my father. There was some discussion with our family, "Is this something that would be the right thing to do?", and within 24 hours Danielle had arranged a meeting with a care provider. It was such an amazing experience to have that level of support, and particularly after that very same care home had told me they didn't have a place for my father - yet within two days of talking with Danielle we had an amazing room and wonderful people there looking after my father.
It was absolutely special because it meant that I was able to spend really quality time with my father and just really share that time.
I wanted to thank Danielle. I now call her "The Care Whisperer" because she's able to talk to people int he care industry in ways that I wasn't able to. She's a really amazing person. I know that she will support you in helping you get what you need in your family."

"My Dad had several falls at home in his apartment and ended up in hospital. I didn't know whether we would be able to bring Dad home with care or whether we needed to relocate him into a residential care home. It was Dad's decision (while in the hospital) to relocate into care.
During the midst of Covid, we were very much restricted on doing tours. Given the tight restrictions, Danielle felt it was absolutely imperative that I was on the ground, and she came in remotely for all the tours to guide, support and ask appropriate questions.
We loved one place which didn't have the availability but were prepared to relocate into respite nearby and wait until a room became available at the favourite home. It wasn't too long before Dad was relocated and settled.
I can't thank you enough for being such an amazing support through what was rather an emotional time. You do amazing work."

"Following a stroke, my father's dementia progressed rapidly and I found myself in a situation where I urgently needed to find suitable care for his needs.
Navigating the mine field that is high-level aged care would have been impossible had I not contacted Danielle.
Right from the start she stepped in, directing and assisting me with every stage of the process. Danielle undertook a thorough assessment of Dad, as a person - who he is, where he came from, and what he needed. She then took all the steps necessary to find the best home for him and was endlessly persistent in keeping in touch with all of the local aged care facilities together with liaising with the hospital to find the right fit for Dad. She was constantly in contact with me, updating me at every stage of the process.
Danielle was also a great support to me during a very difficult time; I felt like my Dad was being represented and that I was being represented.
Dad is now safe and content in his new home and that is such a great relief. As a parent of two young children, I would have been lost attempting this undertaking on my own and I am incredibly grateful to Danielle as I simply could not have done this without her hard work and expertise."

"If you ever need to find the best possible care home, anywhere in Australia, for someone you love, you need Danielle.
My loved one's circumstances were most unusual; many homes would not - or could not - offer her a place. Danielle tirelessly approached so many over four weeks using her contacts across the city, clearly people who respected her reliable, discreet professionalism and appreciated her warm, friendly way.
I can't begin to imagine how I would have survived the process without her compassionate support until we found the perfect home.

Thank you, Danielle, for lifting such a weight. Your kindness goes way beyond business."

"My dad, whilst frail and terminally ill, advised me how much he appreciated your help to find his next home.
You acted quickly and professionally and arranged in-person tours in the Tweed Heads area. You ensured there was a manual wheelchair in each location which assisted dad to relax as we did the tours. You explained things as we toured but, most importantly, you obtained the feedback from dad for each place.
It was dad's decision as to which home he chose and he is moving in within three days of the tour. Having you guide us through the maze that is aged care helped enormously and took the pressure off all of us.
Thanks for all your help, Danielle. We could not have done it without you and dad loves you!"

"Thank you, Danielle, for prioritising the aged care placement of my second cousin last week.
We were under extreme pressure from the hospital to relocate him into care and quickly. You sprang into action, provided us with five suitable options, toured four facilities and, within three days, had a lovely room in a facility close by to my home.
I have no doubt that your mum would be so proud of the work you're now doing with families like mine. You absolutely are an angel.
John is settling in fine and although it's a massive change for him after recently losing his wife, it's a great outcome. I truly couldn't have done it without you. Thank you again."

"In 2020 was I referred to you by a close acquaintance who is a medical professional. My sister, her husband and I were struggling to find help with her demanding home care needs.
Before contacting you we had tried to negotiate the labyrinth of services and organisations on our own with little success. Our most pressing need was to change my sister’s care provider as the one we had found proved to be very unsatisfactory. Your swift, compassionate and professional response resolved that issue in record time.
Your assistance and advice did not end there. During the course of my sister’s illness, you provided continuous and invaluable support and planning as various issues arose. Given how complex health needs can be, especially at times of personal stress, your advice was of enormous support to us.
On behalf of my sister’s family, I want to say how grateful we are for your help throughout her illness, and we recommend DR Care solutions to anybody trying to find the best solution to their health care needs."

"My sister and I reached out to you in crisis. We were told that Mum could not return home and needed to be urgently placed into care. We phoned you and within a 48-hour period (before a weekend) and during Covid-19 lockdown, you were able to 'pull a rabbit from a hat' and find Mum the perfect place for her end-of-life care.
You moved swiftly and compassionately to ensure Mum could be moved. Unfortunately, Mum's condition deteriorated to a point where the hospital advised she could not be relocated.
We appreciated your help when we most needed it, thank you so much. We are missing Mum every day but getting on with things and hope that now that the lockdown is finished, we can get back to something that resembles normal. I think there will always be that nagging feeling that something is missing now that Mum is no longer with us. I hope others feel comfort knowing you can help them at such a tumultuous and emotional time, quickly and professionally."

"In July 2021, I reached out to your company, DR Care Solutions, to get urgent help for my wife Amanda who is only 57 years old and has early onset dementia.
Initially I thought we could manage her with a bit of external help and some funding from NDIS. Her condition was deteriorating, her behaviour became quite aggressive, and her existing carers were constantly abandoning her and would not come back as they could not manage her behaviour.
Myself and my 2 teenage daughters (one doing her HSC) were basically desperate and lost in what to do next.
After contacting you at DR Care Solutions, you came out quickly to assess Amanda and developed a very detailed and comprehensive Life PlanTM for her with very clear recommendations. Thereafter you gave me a choice of thee quality home care providers with carer profiles which matched what was required in your detailed Life PlanTM for Amanda.
Once you helped me choose a suitable new care provider you also helped organise a support coordinator and a professional case manager together with a behavioural specialist to review Amanda’s current NDIS plan to get Amanda much more funding which would cover her needs now.
The new carers are highly skilled in dementia care and, together with altered medications for Amanda, have given her a more settled and comfortable daily routine.
I just want to thank you and DR Care Solutions from the bottom of my heart for all this you have done to make not only my wife's life easier but also mine and my daughters' lives have now had much stress and pressure taken off us.
Now Amanda can stay at home much longer which makes me very happy.
Thank you again, Danielle."

We had done initial Googling, we'd hung on the phone for two days trying to get information, and we were more and more confused than ever.
When we spoke with you, Danielle, you gave us a clarity and a confidence and a surety that put us at ease straightaway. You are just incredible to work with.
And we were at a massive crisis point... and you just made everything happen and it just took a complete load off of us. It meant we could concentrate on what we need to, which was Mum, and we got a result and it was incredible how quickly it all happened and you pulled it all together.
We got the best result for Mum and for our family at the same time. So eternally grateful for all your help. Thank you."

"I was significantly injured after being hit by a car. I needed support to keep my home running smoothly and my insurer agreed for me to have some domestic assistances.
A friend recommended that I reach out to Danielle from DR Care Solutions. Danielle sprang into action and organised a fabulous provider to assist me for several months. Their service made a big difference for my recovery. It has been extremely helpful to have those extra hands when needed the most.

"Danielle was literally the 'Angel' who helped us navigate through what was to be the final week of Dad's long life.
Dad has been hospitalised five weeks earlier and the family had little experience in how the hospital systems operated. Whilst the doctors and nursing staff were doing everything they could, the family felt that Dad's life might be prolonged and more comfortable if he could be at home.
Trying to facilitate this was hugely challenging. He was going to need 24-hour care and I was getting totally bamboozled by the advice that was being given by the social workers, occupational therapist, and nursing staff. It was totally overwhelming.
I remembered that Danielle, an old family friend, was in the care industry but I hadn't realised the extent she was involved and the care and assistance she was ultimately able to give us. With one phone call, she provided the clarity and support that we so desperately needed.
Danielle immediately came to see Dad and readily assessed the situation. She stepped into action and had 24-hour nursing staff lined up plus all the equipment that would be necessary to care for Dad at home. During a very emotional time, she provided comforting support to us all.
On the day that everything was to be installed at home, Dad ultimately decided he was too sick to leave hospital. One phone call to Danielle and all the arrangements that had been put in place were cancelled. We were able to spend our time with Dad rather than trying to unravel everything that had been organised.
Sadly, Dad passed away later that night. As a family, this had been the most challenging time we had all had to face together. Danielle navigated us through with love, compassion, care and understanding.
With our love, thank you, Danielle."

"My Mum was based in Melbourne and became very unwell quickly. After being in hospital for a month, we were told she couldn't return home and would need 24/7 medical care moving forward. My brothers and I had 10 days to find her care in Sydney, complicated by COVID-19 restrictions.
In what was an already stressful time (and over the Christmas break), Danielle got to work and was able to shortlist five potential nursing homes in lightning speed time. We walked through all five in the space of a day.
Danielle's wealth of experience within the industry made me feel like I was in safe hands. She knew what to look out for, asked all the right questions, and helped us secure a new home for Mum that, as a family, we (and importantly, Mum), are really happy with.
Navigating the minefield that is aged care homes was made infinitely easier with the help of Danielle. I honestly don't think that I would have been able to do it without her!"

Her professionalism, due diligence and empathy was beyond our expectations. Danielle's communication in every aspect was extremely transparent giving us great relief that Danielle had Dad's best interests at the forefront every step of the way.

"We used Danielle to navigate the nightmare that is the ACAT process and entering into aged care. The Government has made it very difficult for the average person to wade their way through all of the forms and procedures.
Because we are both busy running businesses, we didn't have the time to devote to the process.
Danielle made it easy and she really cared about the future of our 90 year old father. She quickly got the ACAT Assessment done (when he was in hospital after a fall) and then proceeded to explore a number of Aged Care Facilities suitable for his needs. She took the time to take him to a number of facilities so he could assess which one he preferred.
She even put us in touch with a Financial Advisor to assist with analysing the financial implications of the various options.
She found the perfect place for our Dad and he has settled in well.
Unless you have an enormous amount of time and patience, I would strongly recommend that you use Danielle and DR Care Solutions services as she makes the whole process seem like it is easy."

For our own situation, I wish we’d have known you 15 years ago when we were starting to make difficult decisions about my wife’s Mum, who lived with us for 11 years. It may not have made things any easier emotionally, but it certainly would have given the direction and clarity that, back then, was just so confusing to manoeuvre through. As I’ve said previously, you’re one of the very few people that I’ve come across in my life that I believe have found their calling in life. I’d count the total number I’ve met or known on two hands!

"I engaged with Danielle Robertson from DR Care Solutions to assist me to find respite care for my mother who had been hospitalised for many weeks. She required full time care and we were unable to offer the care and supervision that my mother required in her own home, she was deemed a falls risk and was non-compliant due to language barriers.
I didn’t know where to begin searching for a nursing home and coupled with all the requirements and paperwork needed with external organisations, I had no idea where to start.
From the moment we engaged with Danielle, she’s extremely efficient, understanding and was able to manage the process for us. Within a few days we were already doing virtual tours and walkthroughs of a selected facilities and only a few weeks later Danielle had placed my mother into a nursing home close to home and spoke my mother’s native language, Italian.
Using DR Care Solutions took the burden and heart ache away from finding suitable care for my mother.
I’d highly recommend Danielle and her company in assisting anyone with finding the right care solution for your family member or loved one. She made the process easy; everything was seamless."

"I still pinch myself for the absolute amazing good fortune you brought to my life to help me find and settle so quickly into the hostel environment providing low level care and support at Hunters Hill. We are all over the lock down. We cannot wander around the property, nor visit the cafe – ‘no problem I say’ as the facility must contain traffic throughout the property. Shame we cannot use the lovely grounds but that will come around in the not too distant future, I am sure.

"Danielle’s passion is to help people keep their loved ones at home, when they are ill and become dependent, (rather than needing to be put in a hospital or home).
My mum has a progressive lung disease and been very ill for over six years. For the past 18 months, Mum has needed 24hour care. I live in London, one sister lives in Mexico, one sister has a young family, my father is partially deaf. None of us are in a position to be full time carers.
Despite having the financial resource and learning how to cope along the way – there is just no way that we would have managed to organise mum the best possible care without the advice of Danielle’s experience and expertise.
First thing first, care is very expensive and can feel like a full time job to manage.
There is no doubt that Danielle has given our family the ability, resource and peace of mind to keep mum at home with the best possible care.
Danielle’s service consists of a holistic care program to include government funding, carers, physios, occupational therapy (to get the right set up at home), a palliative care team (to keep mum comfortable and with the best quality of life)- everyone visits mum at home with great coordination to ensure the correct pace and communication.
There is no doubt that Danielle’s services have meant mum’s decline has slowed and of course we know that we are giving her everything that we possibly can, no stone unturned. Mum is extremely grateful and feels very loved and we know we are giving her our all.
It’s important to add, Danielle does not do a ‘one size fits all programs’, her services and recommendations have been tweaked to fit our needs and right family personality fit.
It’s a very emotional and stressful time. We are incredibly grateful.
As an added benefit, Danielle is warm, kind and a great counsellor. Our family has a new friend."

"A note to thank you, Danielle. My parents, both in their mid-eighties, have lived in their home for 60 years. Both are carrying chronic health issues. They did not want to leave their home if they could possibly stay there. When my mother was being admitted again for treatment to a chronic leg ulcer, I became worried about how Dad would cope without her at home.
Mum’s specialist vascular surgeon would not release her from hospital this time unless she had nursing care regularly attending the home and a reduced workload so she could keep off her leg as much as possible. I was faced with helping my parents navigate the complex area of home care and aged care services.
I looked on the web and was baffled by the number of services to choose from. Where did I start; Danielle was the answer. Danielle knew which services to recommend and helped us to come to where we are now with both Mum and Dad at home receiving weekly carer support, and gardening services from a home care services team who listen to my parents’ wants and desires. We as a family are very happy with the result, and I am so glad that I had met Danielle."

"Thank you so much Danielle for your support in finding the perfect residence for our 91 year old Dad. My sisters financial advisor recommended Danielle when we were unhappy with the carers that we had employed. Danielle came to visit Dad at his house and created a plan for him based around his needs and interests. Then Dad had a fall and ended up in hospital. Dad was unhappy in hospital, so when the doctors advised us that he should not return home but enter into care, my 3 siblings and I panicked. We had just a few days to arrange respite with a view to permanence.
Danielle immediately launched into action and found us a wonderful facility that even had a coffee shop. Knowing that Dad could wander down for a cuppa and a chat was really comforting as this was one of his favourite outings. Danielle continued close contact with us, we had not visited residences before and were still worried that there may be a better one out there for Dad. Danielle demonstrated caring and patience as she ran two Care360 reports and accompanied us to visit another 7 residences. We needed the reassurance that where Dad was, was the best place for him.
After all the running around, we knew that the first place Danielle had found was indeed the best. Our whole family can’t thank you enough, you were our heaven sent guide during an emotional and stressful time. You worked so quickly to find the perfect place for Dad and we shall be forever grateful for your patience, understanding and caring nature."

"Thank you, Danielle, for all your assistance and support with arranging care for my mother and brother recently. It’s one thing to have to navigate the aged care system for my mother, but to also have to navigate NDIS, Centrelink and carers to assist with my brother’s care when he was diagnosed with Early Onset Dementia, at the same time, was overwhelming and complex.
You listened to our concerns and wishes with empathy and acted with haste to ensure that care was in place as quickly as possible - offering guidance and support at every stage. I have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone who is in the unenviable position of arranging care for their loved ones. Appreciate all that you have done for my family – thank you again."

"Mum is doing really well and don’t think I’ve ever seen her as happy in years. She’s practically running the place. The head nurse mentioned recently they should be paying her!!! The staff love her because she has her marbles and can participate in all the activities. She’s started a knitting club, in charge of the garden areas (watering etc), heavily involved in celebrations Halloween, Melbourne Cup, Christmas decorations, shopping and setting up. Thank you so much for helping us find the right care and accommodation for Mum. We couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome."

I find it quite amazing that the availability of good quality carers is just as bad in Australia as it is in Canada, our Government has made some moves towards making that profession more attractive financially, hopefully that will attract some people.

"My brothers and I approached Danielle to see if she could help us when my mother needed to move quickly from interstate to Sydney and into respite and possibly longer term high level care. We were so glad we did.
Danielle moved smoothly into action, working with my cautious and unwell mother to ascertain her needs and preferences (by phone), identifying suitable options, working with us to arrange visits so we could finalise an option for respite, and identifying and sourcing all support needs to move my mother from Queensland. Everything went so smoothly. Somehow Danielle met everyone’s requirements and serviced everyone’s emotional needs too.
And the process meant the family was very involved with staff from the get go. My mother moved in and Danielle supported her in discussions for alterations to her room and routine and care. By the end of the respite period, Mum had decided to stay at the home - her health had improved enough for her to enjoy the expansive gardens.
Danielle again swung into action, helping us to negotiate with the home and settle all terms and conditions. Mum has been there a year - the family meets for lunch in the gardens most weekends."

"It all started with Shingles! We secured a temporary carer using the Commonwealth Package... eventually the Aged Care Package became available. Now we had a further challenge: we did not know where to start! The Aged Care System is not easy to understand or navigate. We wanted a quality provider for our mother and fortunately we were aware of Danielle’s expertise through her former business, DIAL-AN-ANGEL.
From the outset, our family felt relieved and comforted to know that we had an advocate who was knowledgeable and someone we could trust to provide suitable options & recommendations for our mother.
After an initial assessment, Danielle was able to narrow our search down to a few suitable providers to consider for weekly in house support. Without Danielle’s assistance, knowledge and tremendous support, we would have found this task extremely difficult.
Our mother is very happy with her regular care person who attends on a weekly basis. It gives our family peace of mind as we know we can schedule doctor’s visits, have her groceries purchased with the carer visiting on a regular basis."

"You have been such a great help in navigating and negotiating Aged Care for my wife and me. Both of us are 87 years of age and I am my wife’s primary carer. I was finding it very tiring and I really didn’t know where to turn. We had previous experience of having carers sent from a large organisation which proved incompatible with our family. My wife was not keen on having care and support services reintroduced. Danielle came along and listened carefully to our wants and wishes and introduced the right care provider to match our needs. Care and support started last week and I am pleased to say that Ann has accepted the help quite well. Thank you again for your involvement, it has taken enormous pressure off me."

"I wanted to thank you for all your help over the last few weeks.
As you were aware, we were in a desperate position trying to find a nursing home for Jeff’s parents, who both suffer from dementia. We looked for weeks trying to find a suitable place, however the aged care system is a minefield and we were out of our depth.
Thank goodness you found a place within three days and it was such a pleasure dealing with you and so easy. You listened to what we needed and found us exactly what we had in mind, this took a huge burden and stress off our shoulder. Within two weeks they were in accommodation and being taken care of.
We can’t thank-you enough for your making our lives easier and finding the perfect place for Jeff’s parents."

"Our neighbour, Fiona was concerned about our health, safety and wellbeing and made contact with Danielle from DR Care Solutions. We contacted Danielle and had a brief chat about where we were at. Danielle arranged to visit us to determine the best way forward for our long-term care. Danielle informed us of all the options available and what she felt might be best for us.
Given the fact that we are 94 and 95 years of age, the family felt it best we move into a care facility close to an area we were familiar with. Danielle professionally assisted us to locate the right facility with two rooms next to each other. We were able to set one up as a bedroom and the other as a small living area. There is a shared bathroom just outside the rooms.
We knew it would be quite difficult to find a place that could accommodate both of us together in the area we wanted. We were just so grateful for Danielle’s sage advice and guidance. We would highly recommend DR Care Solutions to anyone who is unsure of their next steps."

"Having cared for my husband 24/7 for eight months this year I reluctantly had to put him into respite care in a nursing home nearby. Danielle Robertson was instrumental in getting him in there, overnight. We were very fortunate because it was the only bed available. After an unfortunate episode, he was admitted to hospital with aspirated pneumonia and spent 8 days there.
Upon his return to the home I was very anxious that it should not happen again. I voiced my concerns to Danielle, with the thought that we might need a carer. Within 24 hours Danielle had arranged for carers to attend my husband seven days a week. They attend to his needs and give him breakfast, etc, and look after him until I get there to give him lunch.
It has made such a difference for me to have peace of mind that he is getting individual attention. He is more alert and, today, with the help of his carer was walking for the first time in two months. The staff in the nursing home have nothing but praise for the quality of the carers and, I know, it is because of the vigilance of Danielle that things have gone so smoothly."

"Thank you for your sensitive attention to the care needs of my friends and neighbours. We have lived in the same apartment building for some 20 years, so I have become close friends to them.
She has relatively little mobility and has suffered from several falls in their apartment over recent months. He is in better health, though nearing 94 year of age, when she falls he is not strong enough to assist her.
Some five weeks ago she fell once again, and you were good enough to respond quickly and at the weekend, made a comprehensive care assessment of both of them and arranged for carers to come to the apartment on a 24/7 basis.
I was impressed with your professionalism and understanding of what was required. The Care Provider you organised were also very capable and gave the couple good support for several weeks.

"At age 94, and after successfully living independently for almost 30 years, my mother’s health began to decline. As her only daughter and relative in Australia, I was at somewhat of a loss to know how to help my mum into aged care, which was the only realistic avenue open to her.
Thankfully, Danielle’s services were recommended to me. I found Danielle’s knowledge, advice and wonderfully warm manner invaluable in helping me navigate the aged care system. I would have been quite lost without her support and guidance and am thankful that our paths crossed.

Her response was immediate and to the point. She elicited co-operation with our family doctor for review of recent medication and offered some coping mechanisms for me in the meantime.
We discussed other strategies to be able to keep this much loved family member at home where he is familiar. It took a huge weight off my shoulders being able to talk with a professional in aged care, whose main thrust is to provide support, not only for the client but their family as well. We thank you Danielle."

"I was in a complex and stressful situation with my elderly mother. I urgently needed help and guidance to work out a new care arrangement and, despite working in health and aged care, I was at a loss to work out how to begin to make this happen. I was dismayed to learn just how confusing and stressful the whole process was. The mountain of paperwork and assortment of phone calls I made only added to the stress and confusion. Despite a lot of time and research spent on this, I was getting a lot more concerned, not less.
I was then referred to Danielle Robertson. She took the time to discuss my mother’s situation over the phone and then, quite promptly, met with me in person to more thoroughly understand the entire situation. Danielle also took the time to personally meet with my mother in the nursing home where she had a temporary respite arrangement.
Danielle’s 30 years of experience was very evident in her professional approach, but she was also gentle and personable. Our situation was complex and we needed services recommended to us. Danielle clearly listened to our situation and found a high quality care provider for my mother very quickly! I was also recommended to an Aged Care Specialist Financial Planner, who was also an enormous help.
At all times I have been made to feel supported by Danielle who has communicated very well with me during this stressful time. I have no hesitation in recommending Danielle Robertson Consulting (DR Care Solutions) to anyone wanting a personable and professional team who will support and guide them when the time comes to help an elderly parent or loved one in a crisis."

We were able to appoint a care provider very quickly after Danielle's assistance, she provided a very professional and caring service to Mum and we are very grateful."

"I am most impressed, Danielle. Your work is very professional and comprehensive. I have absolutely no reservations or concerns about your processes, they are excellent. I am more than comfortable to be recommending you for further work after reading your executive summary and even more likely to have a preference for you to manage the navigation part of the process than me."

"Thank you so much for the time you have taken to complete the health and well-being assessment summary. I have let all the family read the document and printed a copy for my dad to read too. I can’t believe how much information you managed to gather from the initial meeting. You really gathered so much and it seemed like a casual chat rather than an interview as such. You seemed to make the family feel at ease and thus they were more open.
In relation to the recommendations you made, we will be working with Dad and Mum to make these happen. Thank you again."
