Testimonials

"Robin Staver of Staver Care Management LLC has been an absolute lifesaver in helping me find in-home assistance for my 94-year-old widowed mother. I had no idea that there were financial resources that we could apply for through the VA and Medicaid. The applications and review processes are complex and daunting. SCM helped us wade through it all. Thank you!"

"In the time when I was dealing with the steady physical and mental decline of my husband and facing the elaborate maze of the Medicare/Medicaid system, Robin got me started. She and her team stabilized me, found me an elder law attorney, a home attendant and consistently kept in touch. She was a life saver!"

"Robin Staver started working with my mother, an 85-year-old suffering from dementia, in 2010. Robin and her associate Georgia Tsamasiros organize every aspect of my mother’s health care, from scheduling her doctor’s appointments, to keeping exhaustive records, and organizing prescriptions. They also schedule her round-the-clock in-home care, dealing with the last-minute changes and complicated personnel issues with good cheer and efficiency. They have made excellent suggestions for enrichment activities for my mother including art therapists, personal trainers, music classes all of which have greatly enhanced my mother’s routines. In short, they are the architects of the happy and healthy life my mother is enjoying, despite the limitations put on her by her disease. But this is not where it stops. They always go the extra mile making sure that just because something isn’t broken, doesn’t mean that it couldn’t be better. Robin and Georgia really care about my mother. I rely on both of them for their incredible kindness, superb professionalism, discretion, humor and excellent judgement. I can’t imagine our lives without Staver Care Management."

Robin and Julie are truly a remarkably thorough and caring team. We feel as though they are part of our family. The expertise and resource they provide during an incredibly challenging time of change has been of infinite value to us. I highly recommend Staver Care to anyone needing guidance in the elder care, disability support planning space. They are warm and caring while also being straightforward and clear in discussing the hard stuff. We are full of gratitude for Staver Care Management.

”I want to thank you and Julie for all your help over the past months. You have been an invaluable resource to us as we navigated my father’s affairs. Again, thank you for all your gentle care and kindness. It is truly appreciated.”

"Six years ago, when my father had suffered a stroke and my mother was diagnosed with dementia, I was told I needed to arrange for 24-hour care. I had no idea where to turn. Fortunately, the psychologist handed me Robin’s card and that was a turning point. Robin was the warm and knowledgeable expert to whom I could turn whenever I had a question about how to care for my parents. She connected me with wonderful people, including home health aides, a music therapist, and an in-home nurse practitioner and dentist, all of whom were able to serve my parents' evolving needs. She assisted with trouble-shooting questions like whether my parents would be better off in a nursing home, what kind of intellectual and emotional stimulation to provide them, how to manage a team of 4 aides, where to procure a hospital bed, and when to put them into hospice care. Most of all, Robin was always available to talk through complex issues, and never failed to have constructive suggestions and make me feel better during what was a long-term and emotionally difficult process. My family will always be grateful to her for providing invaluable support and enabling our parents to live their final years in their own home."

Allowing my mom to stay at home to spend her final years, months, days and hours was so important to my brother and me (and certainly to her), and I just feel that so many people don’t realize the opportunities that exist. I am no expert on eldercare but the program Robin Staver told me about made all the difference in the world, knowing of the Consumer Directed Care program and that there was a way I could enable my mom to stay at home despite not qualifying for Medicaid.

"My dad, a kind but rigid man, was born in NYC and he said that would be the only place for him to finalize his last days. Through the luckiest of luck, I found Robin Staver, who changed both our lives forever, in the very best of ways. She is professional with attentiveness to every detail, managing caregivers and helped to facilitate the medical and social aspects of his care. Most importantly, it was as though a dear family member was personally involved in his care over an eight-year period. She is warm, compassionate and a trusting person to guide one through the difficult issues that arise at this time of life. My husband added that Robin was a Godsend."

"Robin worked as a care manager with my father-in-law for 7 years. She assessed his needs, interviewed companions, coordinated home care, accompanied him to medical appointments, and arranged for hospice so he could live his final days at home. She was always professional, thoughtful, communicative with our family, and no problem was too large for her to solve, always with a smile on her face and a warm heart. Our family is forever indebted for the care she took of my father-in-law, and the support she provided us when we couldn’t be there."
