• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "Oasis Senior Advisors was recommended to me by a social worker at my mother's hospice care provider. I worked with Kriste who was very helpful in assisting my family navigate the process of finding an assisted living facility for my mother. Kriste was very familiar will all of the facilities in the area and gave us honest feedback about each one. I appreciated her guidance and openness as we discussed the options and made our decision. I would definitely recommend Oasis Senior Advisors as a guide to anyone who, like us, has never had to make the difficult decision of finding a care facility for a parent."

  "The worse nightmare of my life had happened to my 78 year old mother.. She had fallen and broke her hip. She has dementia and was living in her own home in Hagerstown. I had surgery for a spinal cord injury. I had not seen mom in a couple of months, but I had caregivers coming in 2 days a week looking after her. Ultimately she was admitted to the hospital and surgery immediately. Being put under caused the dementia to become much worse. The doctors found her incompetent and I was already her POA, but I never had to use it. After her discharge from the hospital she went straight to rehab. She has limited funds and I had very little knowledge of what I was to do!! I received a phone call from Cathy Baker. This woman was a godsend! She took me step by step of each decision that had to be made! She followed up on mom’s care. She called me practically everyday!, Cathy genuinely cares about me and my mom. I had to find permanent placement for my mom. I stressed I did not want her in a nursing home and if it had to be a home I promised my mom long ago it could not be Julian Manor. Cathy said ok then no Julian Manor. She and I discussed assisted living. I was a complete mess. There was so much to do and I couldn’t go to my mom for guidance. But, Cathy stepped right up and started scheduling virtual tours. I had to sell mom’s home. I didn’t have a clue! She contacted a realtor she had used and knew would help me. (The house was in contract after one weekend above selling price). Cathy sent me information on what questions to ask during the tour. Including what to look for during the tour. I saw Elmcroft in Hagerstown and didn’t look any further! Cathy and a representative from there named Deanna knew each other and have an excellent working relationship. Cathy worked out all the $$ and contract info for mom. Mom moved in last Friday. She is doing very well! She loves her room and the staff are so great with her! I have finally stopped crying and I’m sleeping again! Cathy called me yesterday just to check on mom and myself. She was so happy things are going so smoothly! She finished the call asking me to stay in touch. I never met Cathy in person! I would love too and it would be an honor to buy her lunch!, I hate to think what would have happened to my mom if I wouldn’t have gotten that phone call from Cathy! I pray that if you are in need of help with your family that you call this agency for assistance! I was never charged and got service and care as if I paid all the money in the world. Thank you Cathy Baker!"

  "When my mom and I made the decision that she needed to move into an assisted living community following a series of hospitalizations and short-term rehabs, I was totally overwhelmed with the task of finding a community. Thank goodness the rehab connected me with Cathy Baker of Oasis Senior Advisors. Cathy took the lead in researching and connecting with communities, based on my and my mom's priorities and taking our financial situation into account. My mom's complex medical needs made her ineligible for many communities, but Cathy tirelessly continued to seek out options until she found a community that could provide what my mom needed. With all the stress of the previous months of my mom's medical issues, I probably would have had a nervous breakdown if I had had to do this on my own. Instead, Cathy took all of the stress of this process off of my plate. She is trustworthy, professional, and compassionate - a wonderful person to work with!"

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "I was at the end of my rope trying to find an assisted living and then a nursing home for my father. I was referred to Senior Oasis and Kriste Kidd and Cathy Baker seemed to know all the key people in each facility and honed in on the one to best fit my father. I don't know what I would have done without them. He was a difficult placement but they were not deterred. I can't thank them enough. I highly recommend their services."

  Samantha Holt

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "Cathy is an absolute saint! When my grandfather was put into a facility I felt like I was in limbo with no idea what to do or even how to do it. After talking to Cathy my stress levels dropped to the lowest they've been in a long time. I highly recommend Oasis. The process of having a loved one go into a nursing facility is hard enough. They will help you every step of the way!"

  Kelsey Doggett

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "Having only come in contact with Kriste Kidd just over a one week ago, it is truly amazing what all has transpired in this very short time. My parents live 3 three states away from me and my brother and I have been trying without success to get my two elderly parents ( 95 and 90) into assisted living and possible memory care for well over one year. Due to an extreme deterioration in my mother's condition a couple of weeks ago, I reached out the county Adult Protective Services, my parents doctor, attorneys and more! No one seemed to have any workable plan for a solution that would assure the safety and well being of both of my parents. I did not want them to be found dead in their condo after almost 75 years of love and marriage so I took the wise counsel of a social worker in that county and called Oasis Senior Advisors. Very early on in our phone conversations I knew I had found someone dedicated to seeing my parents get the care they needed! It was never about the financial end of things. Kriste only receives what she very rightly earns directly from the care facilities and fortunately my parents had planned well and have the financial ability pay for excellent care. But they were too old, feeble and removed from reality to see that the time had come. There were some terrible incidents before Kriste really got involved where my mom left home to roam the neighborhood and many difficult things were precipitated by my dad's feeble condition. Once Kriste found a local in home provider and began to engage with doctors, government agencies and the local hospital she made it possible for me to remotely sign care agreements for both parents. She made numerous trips to visit my parents at their condo and was involved in lovingly coaxing my mom to travel to the behavioral wing for an evaluation. She made sure of arrangements to transport her to the memory center yet today! All of this would be amazing enough but remember this has all been accomplished in less than 10 days and totally during the COVID-19 lockdown in their ( and my) state! I will forever be grateful for Kriste's caring attitude, professional manner and her amazing ability to navigate this complex world of rules, restrictions and emotional challenges. The community of aged people and their children and spouses need to be made aware of this valuable resource named Oasis Senior Advisors and particularly Kriste Kidd! We have only met via phone and video conference but I do not know what would have happened without her dedicated service!"

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "It has been a pleasure to work with Kriste Kidd and Oasis over the past seven months. Kriste helped us find a suitable assisted living home for my brother in mid-2019 and then again when his circumstances changed at the end of the year. As we are located on the West Coast far away from western Maryland, her assistance was invaluable. She recommended available residences, organized visits, and offered sound advice based on long-time experience. I especially appreciated the fact that she has always spoken frankly about the advantages and/or disadvantages of particular locations. She is well informed about all the mind-numbing details related to elder care in the region. The service provided is the best, and I strongly recommend her and Oasis to prospective clients."

  J. Goode

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "My mother lives 4 hours away from me and had reached a point that she needed to go into assisted living. I was lucky to come across Oasis Senior Advisors to help me. Kriste and Gracie took my Mom under their "wings" and helped to make the transition smooth and stress free. They kept me posted every step of the way as to how the move was going and how my Mom was dealing with it. My Mom has dementia and is very disoriented, but Gracie knew how to work with her to make everything go smoothly. My Mom loves the new place she has moved to. I could not have done this on my own without their help. They even have connections with people to clean out Mom's house and get it ready for listing it for sale. If you need help in relocating a loved one, I highly recommend Oasis Senior Advisors"

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "I am writing to say thank you for the help you gave my brother in his transition from his home in Frederick to the assisted living facility in Brookville. As you know change is never easy for anyone, but you have been a steady presence and help in Ned getting use to the idea that he needs help in his day to day functioning. I was especially impressed with your professionalism and breadth of knowledge of the industry and your ability to find a location for Ned quickly at his time of need. When you live 800 miles away, as I do, your service has been invaluable."

  Bruce Kadoura

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "My family is so grateful of Oasis Senior Advisors for helping my father in law find a nice Assisted Living Home. Gracie and Kriste were so kind in helping us save time and stress by doing all the leg work. The free service they provide to seniors and their families was so beneficial to us and we really appreciate it. Gracie is so awesome! Kriste is so lucky to have such a great fantastic and wonderful person working for her. Gracie and Kriste made all the difference in choosing the right place for for my father in-law under circumstances out of our control. We wouldn't of known what to do without them. "

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "The process of finding the perfect fit for your loved one can be an arduous process. Without the assistance of Kriste and Gracie my father would not be in the home he is in today; the perfect fit. My story is so long w/details not fitting for a public post; my father has been moved twice in the last 15 months due to negligent care and treatment. With that said, I could not imagine navigating the waters of placement without the services and expertise of Kriste Kidd. Kriste promised to find the perfect place for my father and she did! Above and beyond my expectations; above and beyond! The care, compassion, and overall concern about my father and my situation was not expected and definitely not foreseeable; it seemed as if Kriste was caring for her own father. Kriste, Gracie, thank you so much, I can now sleep at night knowing my father is being well taken care of. God Bless!"

  "I am so thankful we found Kriste and the Oasis Senior Advisors. Their compassion and dedication is unmatched. My family and I can't thank you enough for guiding us through this challenging and extremely difficult time. Thank you for all your effort and for truly caring about the welfare of my father."

  Jason

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "I have a beloved 83-year old sister whose special needs for care combined with her acute intellect made it both imperative and difficult to find an appropriate assisted living facility as soon as possible. Depending on personal contacts, I had explored places in Tennessee --- where I now live ---and Maryland, where my sister was a resident. A faith-based facility on Maryland strongly recommended that I contact Kriste. at Oasis . Truly they were a Godsend! . Kriste responded to my phone call from Tennessee first by searching inquiry about my sister's needs, both immediate and anticipated, her interests and family ties . She then sent me detailed information on facilities she recommended for consideration in light of those needs and responded to my follow-up questions by phone calls and emails, including some from her personal experiences with the facilities , She arranged for tours of the facilities as soon as I could come to Maryland-- as I immediately did-- and provided Oasis' itemized charts by which to evaluate them and which caused me to consider factors I might otherwise have overlooked. Despite what I then realized was her already heavy schedule, Kriste accompanied me and a third sister to make a tour with comprehensive evaluation of the assisted living residence that we finally chose -- after further follow-up discussion with Kriste--- confident that it was truly right for our sister who needed care. And although she has been there for only a short time, her and our experience thus far has shown the wisdom of our choice and Kriste's invaluable guidance in helping us make that choice.. I cannot adequately thank her and Oasis."

  "I cannot say enough about how much my family appreciates Kriste and Oasis Senior Advisors!! When my mom had a medical emergency that necessitated her going to rehab and then an assisted living facility. Kriste was there every step of the way and helped us to navigate all of the complicated details. Kriste sincerely cares and it shows!!! I highly recommend Kriste and Oasis Senior Advisors for anyone going through this difficult life transition."

  Erin

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "I wanted to say THANK YOU to Kristie at Oasis, she is an amazing woman. My mother was in a bad way at Frederick Memorial Hospital. I reached out to Kristie and she came immediately to see me. She helped my mother decide where to go and how to get there. We went to Tranquility in Frederick, where Kristie helped us through the process. The staff was wonderful there and the facility was what my mother wanted. Kristie stayed in touch throughout my mothers stay there and I can not thank her enough, considering my sister and I had never been through this. I recommend Oasis to everyone and will continue to do so. Thank you so much again, we love you !!!"

  "My mother had a health issue and ended up in a rehab. The staff told me she was not safe to return home alone and needed 24/7 care. My friend recommended an online agency to start the process of looking for assisted living home for my mother. Although I requested my mom being in a certain distance from where I lived and at a certain price point, out of the five options this referral agency provided, only one was in her price range and none were in the location I desired. My calls were seldom returned and I was left floundering. The social workers at the rehab suggested I contact Oasis Advisor, Kriste Kidd. and stated that she was knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. They weren't kidding! I called her and we met in person just a few hours later. Kriste LISTENED to what I desired for my mother including care, cost and location. She not only scheduled the tours for me at my convenience, she also toured every assisted living with me. She knew all of the communities and staff as if she worked there! Very impressive. After touring, she further helped me process my decision on what assisted living I should choose, never giving her opinion, rather keeping me focused on my priorities that were important. After meeting with Kriste, my stress and worries virtually disappeared. She made a difficult task more organized and manageable. She made herself available to me in the evenings and even toured with me over the weekend. I don't know what I would've done without her assistance. She even referred me to a real estate agent that listed my mother's home and was under contract in the same week! If you ever find yourself in a similar situation caring for an aging parent, I highly recommend Kriste Kidd & Oasis Senior Advisors! Her passion for helping others is unparalleled and she is an angel! I am forever grateful. Thank you Kriste for all of your time and support!"

  "My Dad had a stroke and Christmas day and was recovering after his rehabilitation. I was struggling trying to find A rehabilitation center for continued nursing care after his release. After several days of calls computer searches and sleepless nights worrying what we are going to do with little help from the social workers. I luckily came across Kristy site my family’s miracle worker! After chatting with her one evening and reviewing my dad‘s information and level of care, her work begin. She sent out several emails on my dad‘s behalf looking for a suitable care facilities. To my amazement when I checked my email the next morning she had miraculously found a home highly rated within 15 miles from my house and close to Amenities my dad would benefit from in his recovery. Absolutely amazing experience! You my Dear are an Angel!! Blessed to have found you !"

  Karen Kane

  "Oasis Senior Advisors is a godsend..! Kriste made it all come together almost effortlessly. Without her help and knowledge of the landscape, I would not have found the best place for my mother. She brought invaluable insight on so many different levels of what I refer to as the "hardest thing I've ever had to do"... placing my mom into a care facility. If Kriste hadn't come along, I would have most definitely made at least one significantly wrong choice... and probably many. She is committed to providing the most honest and caring advice and guidance during a time when all of us are susceptible to so many (or so few) options and choices. Looking back on this difficult time, I'm enormously glad that I found Kriste to help me make the hard choices. I wouldn't want to have tried to do any of what I had to do without her guidance... and especially without her compassion and caring. She's an angel from heaven..! Thank you Kriste..!! =)"

  "Kriste Kidd was my guiding light throughout the traumatic experience I found thrust upon me when I needed to find assisted living for my 98 year old mother. My mother, who had been living with my sister in law in Vermont these past 12 years, had a minor fall at home resulting in her being taken to the Emergency Room at the University of Vermont Hospital in Burlington. There she was diagnosed with pneumonia and admitted to resolve her issues. But I received a call from my sister in law stating my mother was not welcome back to her home, where she had lived these past 12 years! I was angry, dumbfounded and overwhelmed in regards to finding a new home for my mother! I contacted my lawyer here in Frederick who referred me to Kriste. That was like having a life saver thrown to a drowning victim ! After I contacted Kriste her kind words and list of resources started to put me at ease. After Kriste and I discussed what was within my mother's financial means she provided a list of facilities to explore. Kriste not only provided the list of these facilities, but accompanied me through the tour of the facilities we had chosen! This was invaluable and above and beyond the call of duty!! She provided me with a check list of things to look for during the tour such as staff evaluation, available activities, dining options, etc. With her help I was able to find a new home for my mother within 72 hours of contacting her! She again accompanied me through the contract evaluation and signing! Again, a truly remarkable individual to have next to you through this entire ordeal! I was truly amazed there was someone like Kriste and her company out here to help those of us in need! My brother and sister, who live out of state and unable to assist me in this ordeal with our mother were amazed I was able to find something so quickly. Our family cannot express in words the gratitude we have for Kriste! Her compassion and invaluable and endless resources to guide us through this most traumatic ordeal was truly a guiding light in the darkness that fell upon us suddenly! But we are now in the light and have confirmed a room for my mother who I will be flying down in the next couple of weeks. Thank you Kriste!!"

  "I worked with Kriste Hartman Kidd. She is excellent--extensive knowledge, unbelievable compassion, and top-notch management skills. I could not have gotten through this difficult period without Kriste. She went well above her responsibilities, offering me support as she guided me through the process of placing my father in an assisted living facility for respite care. She took charge, kept me up-to-date, and worked within my schedule. Kriste even helped me with a billing issue at the rehabilitation facility. Her warmth and understanding relieved the stress I felt while making essential but emotional decisions. I highly recommend Kriste as an advisor."

  "Kristi Kidd did an amazing job helping me with my Mom recently after she left rehab in Frederick. She is a caring person who has an interest in all her clients and only wants the best for them. If you need senior living advice, from touring and placing your loved ones in a assisted living facility to help for them in their home, she is your advisor. I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done to help my Mom and I through this transition."

  Mindy Brennan

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "Kriste was a great help to me when trying to find an assisted living facility with specialized memory care for my mother who has alzheimers. With so many options, places and services to consider, I was feeling overwhelmed and second guessing myself about the right decision to make. Kriste came to my aid and her familiarity with all of the local facilities and experience with placing loved ones in assisted living really gave me peace of mind that I was finding a good place and a good fit for my mother."

  Lea R.

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "Kriste Kidd has been such a tremendous help this month here in the Frederick/Hagerstown area! I flew in from out of state on days notice that my great-aunt was in rehab and needed help. I had absolutely no idea how to care for my senior aunt or what to do or where to go. Social workers, Michael and Robyn at Northampton Manor Nursing & Rehabilitation called me to tell me what the possible next steps were. They recommended Kriste to me and she contacted me. She later explained to me that she likes to reach out to clients as in those moments, our minds are racing with a million things on a to-do list, that's one less thing for us to worry about. I thought that was great and it made a great first impression! She helped me sort out medical forms and of course was the biggest help in finding an independent living community that was a great fit for my aunt's budget, needs and likes. She took out all the research I would have had to do (that I had no idea how to do or what to look for) and gave me 4 options to look at, with more on deck if none of them were suitable. She arranged for tours and meetings within a matter of days as we needed to transition from rehab to a community quickly due to Medicare running out at the rehab center and she was having to pay out of pocket (private pay). She gave me recommendations for a good and trustworthy lawyer, Law Office of Lena A. Clark for a Power of Attorney and more. She also recommended a company that helps with moving furniture and items from home to a community, Stress Free Solutions, experienced with many situations like this in the area. She kept in communication with the social worker often and with myself, no matter the time of day or holiday (4th of July). She knows Senior community living very well and has been to every community that she recommends or takes clients to see. She has worked in this business for many years and has so much education and knowledge about Senior communities, whether it is assisted living or independent living or memory care/dementia communities. I have never had to do anything like this before as my own parents are still in their late 50s and working and living life on their own just fine, yet they themselves are learning this process with my grandparents (she also gave me a contact for Oasis in San Antonio, Texas to help them out if they need it and I highly recommended it to them). I have never had to work with this much legal or medical paperwork, especially Medicare. She helped me figure out what to do and what questions to ask and to whom. She also helped me with discussing this with my aunt as this was a challenging and stressful time for her. On my flight to Frederick, MD I was incredibly stressed out not knowing what I was going to do. I wasn't sleeping the first few nights, she completely cut my stress level in half the moment we started to work together. She was there at the community waiting for my aunt to welcome her with a sign, balloons and a gift bag of things my aunt enjoyed. It was such a nice touch! She was incredibly personable and realistic and professional. She gave me the facts up front, there was not sugar coating things, which is what I wanted, to be sure of all the facts. She continues to be available to me if I need anything or have any questions. We are settling in within the week at Edenton Retirement Community, currently staying at their guest house thanks to the arrangements Kriste made with Lauren here. Gracias Kriste Kidd for everything, I will never forget it!"

  "I was overwhelmed in making the decision for an assisted living facility for my 81 year old mother. Kriste was patient and kind and provided me information and guidance to make the best decision for my mom. Kriste was with me every step of the way. Now i can relax knowing she is in a good place."

  Deb Conroy

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "I highly recommend Kriste Kidd!! She has helped me plow through what seemed an impossible situation. I am the sole caregiver to my elderly mother and had just found out that I need open heart surgery. I had only limited resources to get my mother into an assisted living while I recover from surgery. Kriste helped me find resources as well as finding a good home for my mother. She helped me too by just being a kind, caring person during the working out of this process. I've been more than satisfied with Kriste's help and expertise!!"

  Sharon G.

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "I truly don't know where my mother would be living right now if it wasn't for Kriste. I told her and truly meant it when I said that she was a God send. My mother was receiving rehab in a local nursing home and had reached a plateau in physical therapy. As a result of this, therapy was discharging her. I learned that once therapy discharges a patient Medicare coverage also ceases. Her therapists were not recommending that she go home due to safety concerns. This is where I encountered significant problems. I was told that my mother was too high functioning to go into their long-term nursing home, she met criteria for skilled nursing and could not remain in rehab, and she didn't meet criteria for their Assisted Living because she had a stage 3 wound on her heel. I received minimal help from the social worker of the nursing home. She basically told me that there was nothing she could do, and my mother would have to return home against the therapists' recommendations despite the fact that a home assessment was never completed. The social worker emailed me a list of alternative places in the community and it became my job to try to find an alternative placement for my mother. From making calls I was referred to various people. One of those persons was Kriste Kidd. Kriste offered to meet with my mother and I that evening at the nursing home because the next day my mother would be private pay, which is $405.00 a day just for the bed. After Kriste talked with my mother and I, and got a good understanding of her needs, she connected my mother to an assisted living in the community. From Kriste's knowledge, experience, and connection with community resources, she helped to bring me piece of mind that night. A nurse from the assisted living facility was going to assess my mother the next day, and because of Kriste talking with the administrator, it was almost certain that she would be accepted. Kriste stayed with me for a couple of hours that night just talking with me and giving me assurance. The great thing about the assisted living facility is that it was half the cost of the nursing home's assisted living, and they were offering a special of 50% off their regular price for three months. I am so grateful for Kriste and all of her hard work and dedication in helping families, especially during a crisis. My mother was admitted to the assisted living the next day. Kriste visited my mother and sent me a picture of the two of them together. Kriste was a strong advocate, and performed duties that the social worker should have done. More nursing homes, hospitals, and private and government agencies should utilize Kriste's services more often. Kriste continues to keep in touch with me and assists me with various needs related to my mother. Again, I am so thankful for Kriste and she truly was a God send in a time of great need!"

  "Kriste , your service is beyond measurable! You go above and beyond for your clients. I had the pleasure of working with you for a short time and I was very impressed with your knowledge and your follow thru. Thank you for helping family’s make the most important decision in there life."

  "Witnessing a parent(s) decline physically, socially, and mentally is something that most of society must eventually endure. As children, our mortality is seldom considered until it is staring you in the face. Very few are prepared for this transition as it is never a good time for our parents to lean on their children for help. Some children evolve and become the caregiver. This is a task that requires not only a high level of commitment, but also a high level of networking to find advice and help with obtaining needed resources. Doing this alone will be something that very few will be able to accomplish. And, at some point, the best thought out plan and resources exhaust themselves and another transition is needed, such as moving to an assisted living community. Where is the optimal place for your parent that will give them the quality of life that they deserve? Getting involved with a professional in the field of senior care will be the best decision that you will make in the search for helping your parent(s). Not only will they give you the personal attention that you need, they will empower you with all the right questions to ask and things to look for when searching for an assisted living community. In doing so, you can make an informed decision of choosing the right place to live for your loved one. My experience with Kriste Kidd at Oasis Senior Advisors, was just that. It was personable, informative, and empowering. Most importantly, Kriste took the time to listen to what was needed with my family and not what was just out there. Kriste customized a search based on my family’s needs and made sure that each avenue explored was catered to our requests. Her approach is one that is tailored to meet your needs. She is completely hands on with all aspects of the search including all inquiries, scheduling tour appointments, accompanying on tours and follow-ups that occur throughout the process of finding the right assisted living. Her knowledge of the industry truly is a resource that you should not do without when exploring care for your aging parent(s). Kriste’s assistance with me, and my experience with her, has been nothing short of excellent. Her ability to streamline a process that is overwhelming for families and her personal connection is what is needed during this kind of transition. I could not have asked for a better resource with integrity and professionalism that is desired when searching for extended care of a loved one. Going forward, I will always recommend Kriste to anyone who needs help in finding an assisted living community or additional support resources for their loved one."

  "I would like to thank Cathy from Oasis for all her help when it came to our Father. Our Dad was in rehab right after the Covid started, we were not aloud to visit him but called him many times a day. Then Dad fell and broke his hip, he needed a partial hip replacement, within days he fell again dislocating his hip and had to have a total hip replacement. Cathy helped us every step of the way. Cathy took us on multiple tours of assistant living in the area until we found the right one, so that we could visit Dad. When Dad got worse and we didn't know what to do. Cathy was right there to help. Cathy went above and beyond to do what she could... as if we were her own family. Cathy is a very special lady that must have hidden wings, because she was an angel to us, we would have be lost if it was not for her. We highly recommend Cathy and Oasis to help with your love ones."

  "Hi, am a clinical social worker in VA and was referred by another assisted care facility to contact Kristy Kidd at Oasis because she could perform miracles. Our family thought it would be impossible since we were re-locating from North Carolina where the rates for assisted living facilities are much more reasonable. Well just after a day or so Kristy contacted us with three or four locations for us to choose from in close proximity to all our family. We immediately began the paperwork collection process to forward to the new facility and even though there were a few setbacks Kristy prevailed. We are so grateful for the service Kristy was able to provide through Oasis that provided gave the opportunity to reunite with our loved one with his grandson in Maryland! He is traveling today all the way from North Carolina! Thank you so much, the Segler family"

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "The path to finding the best place for your aging loved one is long and difficult. The biggest challenge was figuring out where and how to start. Once I found Oasis all that changed. Kristi and Cathy took the time to sit with me and my Brother and listen and learn about our Mother. They then gave us our best options and, with their help, we were able to visit, tour and discuss several different facilities. I am happy to say that my Mother has now moved into a wonderful new home and a much better living environment where she is receiving the care we could never have given her. Without Oasis we would probably still be searching. Oasis will also be there for you after the fact as well. Kristi continues to reach out to see what we need. I can never thank her enough. If you need help, this is the place for you!"

  "Kriste and Cathy bring such a wealth of knowledge, both personally and professionally, and are passionate about helping families in caregiving situations. If you are a caregiver or your family member is a caregiver, do yourself a favor and call Oasis. Even if you are not ready to place your family member in an assisted living or other facility, we learned how important it is to be proactive in planning ahead; so that if that time does arise, it is much less stressful. They really listened to our needs and there was no pressure. They also guided us regarding in home care. They provided very detailed information about the facilities in the areas where we had interest, really helped us narrow our choices, and ultimately place our family member at a very crucial time. They worked with our Hospice team and the facility to smooth out the process behind the scenes which was a relief. Thank you Kriste and Cathy; you helped give us peace of mind and quality of life for our family member! We could not have done this without you!"

  "I cannot give a strong enough recommendation for Kriste and Oasis. Kriste visits senior centers, knows the staff, and has placed other clients in facilities all over the area. She guided me through the process from start to finish. It was like having a trusted friend- or a great realtor- who helped me make some of the profoundly difficult decisions I faced when finding a place for my parents. Oasis is local, involved, and responsive. Call them!"

  "If you are looking for a place to help you find services for an elderly parents or relatives make sure you look to Oasis to help. Kristie Kidd at Oasis was an amazing resource to helping me find an appropriate forever home for my dad who just turned 90. She had contacts for every service that I needed. It was so nice to have a person give you contacts that were vetted and she had personal experience dealing with. When there was a problem during the process of getting my dad moved into his assisted living facility Kristie Kidd helped resolve issue. I literally could not have gotten through the last 2 months of finding an assisted living facility that was going to be affordable long-term, was a fit to my dad's personality, and was a manageable distance from my house. She managed all this with COVID restrictions in place. I would recommend Kristie Kidd & Oasis to help you keep your mental health and reduce the stress of caring for an aging parent."

  "My experience with Oasis Senior Advisors Frederick was absolutely great. I worked with Cathy Baker who handled the initial contact between myself and the various Retirement Communities and Facilities. She listened carefully to the accommodations I was interested in for my client and provided a list of Communities which she in turn reviewed with me, to set up those I wanted to visit. Once I made a decision, Cathy coordinated the initial interaction with myself and the Admissions Specialist. In addition, she also assisted with and referred me to a Transportation Service, for which and I am and will be, forever grateful. In dealing with Oasis, my experience was made seamless and very expeditious at a time when urgency was needed. Thank you Oasis Senior Advisors Frederick."

  "Cathy Baker was beyond my highest hopes and expectations for successfully helping me navigate the options for moving my needy sister into assisted living. Not only did she teach me about all the options, but provided choices and is filing the application for a veterans spouse financial aid program which is the only way we could afford this. Cathy deserves the highest possible marks for quickly and flawlessly handling all the steps to get her into a very nice facility and on a deadline that I thought would be impossible. But this was only the beginning of all the extra effort Cathy provided in a challenging situation for a family member who had no other person within 400 miles who could help with all the details. She coordinated and managed so many other matters like finding a good home for a pet, cleaning out her home, preparing it for sale, driving her to banks, stores etc. Cathy has promised to continue helping with personal assistance as my sister transitions to her new home."

  "Oasis Senior Advisors Frederick were very helpful in finding quality care for our mother. She went in to the hospital on a Tuesday. We came to a conclusion on Thursday that she needed memory care. Cathy Baker from Oasis contacted us on Thursday. She had us a scheduled appointment memory care community on Friday. We made the decision to go with that community. On Monday Cathy called to inform us that they did not have any openings. But she told us that she had another community that did have an opening. We chose to go with them. On Tuesday one week after our mother was admitted to the hospital. She was transported to the memory care community. Now our mother is safe and has the care that she needs. Kudo's to Cathy and the Oasis group! "

  "An elderly friend and former neighbor ended up at my doorstep. Her needs were many and much to great for me to handle on my own. Then through a turn of events my friend needed to go to the hospital. It was there that I came to know of Oasis Senior Living Advisors. I had no such knowledge that this type of service existed. I initially spoke with Cathy Baker (whom was sick at the time) and then was introduced to Kristie Kidd. I cannot say enough professional and wonderful things about Kristie Kidd. When I met Kristie I was completely overwhelmed to say the least. Kristie carefully listened to all of the needs and details of our situation. Then within one day Kristie emailed me a list of Senior Living Homes and Facilities as possible options for my review and research. Kristie was never pushy as a matter of fact she was a God send. I expressed interest in one of the affordable and closer senior homes. Kristie obtained my availability and arranged a tour. Kristie worked directly with the hospital Case Management team and my dear friend was placed in a loving, very homey yet equipped Senior Care Resident Home. To say that I am very, very grateful to Kristie Kidd and Oasis Senior Advisors is a huge understatement! The transition from the hospital to the Senior Resident Home happened within 4 days. Kristie ALWAYS listened openly, stayed focused and responded professionally and caring to me. Kristie Kidd was my life jacket when I was drowning trying to help my friend."

  "I have never been so pleased and comfortable to have both Kristi and Cathy advocating for me and my dad at such a critical time in his life. When I was referred to Kristi, I was at a point of complete disarray over the fact I had to move my dad out of my home permanently. After a bad fall in the house, he broke two ribs which started his rapid decline. The realization I had to find another home for him was overwhelming. Kristi immediately put my mind at ease and took over the process. Her gentle and professional way of dealing with my difficult situation allowed me to finally have peace of mind. Their search for a facility introduced me to Cathy who was equally calming and professional in the process. We visited several locations and in the same day was able to select the best fit for my dad. Unfortunately, their search had to turn into a Hospice situation, where they continued to help my dad find a comfortable place to rest. Although my 95-year-old Dad has since passed, Oasis Senior Advisors helped my dad come to the place he needed to take his final descent to be with my mom. I am forever grateful and will never ever forget what they did for me. In jest, I even asked Kristi if I could adopt her as my sister, since I was an only child. She made me feel as if I had a sister to go through this time together. Please know, however difficult it may be, Oasis Senior Advisors will treat you like family. Forever Thanks"

As you know from Becca, she has been at Brightview since Monday! She is settling in and the staff and residents are exceptional! You are amazing at what you do! You helped calm me and make the process easier! Thank you so much!"

  "To Oasis, Kriste Kidd and Bryant Woods Manor in Columbia, Maryland, I give my heartfelt thanks. My husband has Alzheimer’s dementia, and I needed to find a place for him that is able to care for him with compassion and empathy. Bryant Woods Manor provides my husband with excellent care in a very beautiful home atmosphere. All the caregivers provide him with sensitive, respectful, and compassionate care. Bryant Woods Manor is an excellent choice for the person you love and I would never have been able to find this wonderful place without the help of Kriste Kidd and Oasis. Thank you so much."

Thank you for all of the time you have given me and your patience with me. It is so very much appreciated. And, I am also thankful that I was referred to Oasis where it all began. Please give my best to Veronica, who was the first person I spoke to, and was so very pleasant and helpful. I wish for all of you a healthy and the happiest of New Year's."

  "Oasis Senior Advisors is the best thing that I could have ever asked for. I have had the pleasure of working with two different advisors and both experiences have been great! My most recent experience was and continues to be with Veronica. Veronica’s knowledge and caring compassion for helping others is more than I could ask for. She has expertise in Medicare and Medicaid with multiple contacts in the industry. She has been through every step with me from transitioning from one ALF to a behavioral hospital and then to my father’s last resting place, after receiving the help he needed. Oasis is not just a one stop service, they offer so much more. She assisted me in navigating all my options on not only a business aspect, but a personal note too. No matter the amount of questions or concerns I have had even after placing my father, she has shown attentiveness to my situation providing appropriate support and guidance. If you are in need of assistance or feel like you have no where to turn with finding care for a loved one who is suffering from dementia or just in need of more care than you can provide any longer, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Veronica at Oasis Senior Advisors in Frederick. You won’t be disappointed!! "

  "I would like to commend the efforts of Veronica Poole and Beth Montgomery of Oasis. For the last several months, they have both worked tirelessly to find the best follow-up care for my sister Urith Devilbiss. She is so much better now and, after many challenges and struggles, seems to be on a healing path at last. You can be sure that I will be contacting Oasis again in the next few weeks as my sister (and I) get ready for her next steps. Veronica and Beth are outstanding professionals who know how to get things organized and make what seemed to me like an impossible task, a safe and healing experience. Thank you - all of you - so very much again."

  "I can't thank you enough for all of your help with my parents. I don't know what my family would have done without your kind and compassionate support during such an extremely difficult time. We really appreciate your efforts in placing my mom at a facility we were happy with so quickly. We are so grateful."

• Oasis Senior Advisors

  "We want to thank Veronica and Kristie for working with us throughout this difficult process of getting Mom moved. She is settling in well so far despite the changes and will be back to calling her friends once her phone line is set up. I will definitely recommend Oasis to anyone as their first stop of going through this process. I admire your group for working with families and sites from the beginning to the end to ensure a smooth transition. "
