Oasis Senior Advisors
"My dad needed assisted living following a surgery and continued decreased mobility. Julianne Rizzo at Oasis was extremely helpful in helping me navigate the process of finding the right place for him, to provide quality care, while being mindful of managing expense. Julianne provided a local list of options and gave me her professional, experienced opinion. The process can feel overwhelming at times, and Julianne gave many good suggestions, promptly answered my questions and came up with questions I didn't even think to ask! I greatly appreciate the expertise Oasis gave to my search!"

"Although things didn't work out for us because of my father's suddenly rapid decline, Julianne Rizzo was simply spectacular in her assistance as we looked for a Memory Care facility. She quickly responded to my questions, set up virtual tours just as quickly, and helped me to arrive at a decision about a Memory Care place for my father with great ease. She accomplished all of this in the midst of some major snowstorms and some frigid temperatures. Nothing deterred her from helping me to get things done. Even with the many questions I had about the process, she was always ready either to answer or to pass my questions on to the facility. Of all the individuals I have worked with over the past few months as my father declined, no one was more helpful, more friendly, more thoughtful than Julianne Rizzo. She is without question one in a million!"

"Our family worked with Julianne Rizzo out of the Southwest Chicago office. She was beyond patient as our journey took multiple twists and turns in finding different types of facilities for my dad. Her knowledge and connections were extremely valuable and really helped ease the burden on us in navigating a complex situation that involved a search for memory care, and two different stints in two different rehab facilities after hospitalizations. I would wholeheartedly recommend Julianne to anyone who finds themselves in this often overwhelming and daunting situation."

"My 76 yr. old boyfriend has been living with Altzheimers for the past 5 years. His condition started to worsen about a year ago. After caring for him at my home for 6 months and then hiring a 24 x 7 caregiver for 6 months in his home, it was time to move him into a Memory Care Facility. I am his only support and loved one. His family did not want to participate in his care. I knew I could not do this on my own and that is when I met Julianne Rizzo from Oasis Senior Advisors. She talked with me about the type of facility I wanted to put my boyfriend in and then she went with me to each one until I found the right fit just 4.4 miles from my home. She stayed in communication with me during and after the process. I can't thank her enough for holding my hand through this process. She is very knowledgeable and is also a nurse. Please don't try to do this on your own. Senior Oasis Advisors will make the process a lot easier and there is no cost to you. "

"I had the great pleasure of working with Julianne Rizzo. I was taking on the task of moving my step-mother not just from another facility but from another state. I had no clue on what to do, when I casually mentioned to a co-worker, "I just need someone to guide me through the process and help me find a good place", when she responded to me, "I know someone, she helped me with my mom!". She referred me to Julianne and a few months later my step-mom is in her new residence, closer to family and happily adjusting to her beautiful surroundings and new friends. I have no idea how far I would have gotten without Julianne's assistance, she made a scary and lengthy situation smooth and short-lived. My initial contact with her put me immediately at ease and made me realize bringing my step-mom back home to IL was possible. She walked me through every step and facilitated the contact and communication between the previous facility and the new one and once she got the ball rolling there was no stopping the progress/process. I remember getting a text from her saying "We're cooking with fuel now!" No truer words could have been spoken, a week later we were moving Susan in to her new residence. I am eternally grateful for her knowledge, guidance and kindness, honestly do not know what I would have done without her."

"I am forever grateful for Julianne from Oasis. It was hard enough for me to juggle the day-to-day care of my aging parents who have multiple chronic illnesses. But as both my parents' care needs began to rise, finding a place for them seemed difficult. Julianne's expertise was indispensable in helping me find the right place for mom and dad. She gave excellent guidance, helped me narrow down options from the myriad of assisted living choices, and kept me pointed in the right direction. She arranged facility tours, came on visits with us, and helped us ask the right questions. We were quickly and confidently able to select a place I felt my parents could thrive in. I believe having Julianne in our corner was crucial for that success. She is a consummate professional that will genuinely advocate for you. I highly recommend her."

"My 85 year old aunt decided it was time to move closer to us and wanted to find an independent living facility that fit her needs. I’m so glad we had Julianne with Oasis Senior Advisors to help us. She came to visit my aunt and I to determine our criteria for a facility and most importantly took the time to learn what was important to my aunt. She helped us tour and choose a facility that my aunt loves and made the process both easy and enjoyable, and so much more efficient than if we tried this on our own! Thank you Julianne"

"Julianne and Oasis was a godsend in helping us find a memory care placement for my father. They were always available, listened to what we needed, our budget, and came back with many options. She arranged tours of the facilities and went with us to make sure we got all our questions answered. Once we picked a place, she worked with both the hospital and home to make sure transportation was smooth. We couldn't have done this without her!"

"Julianne Rizzo accompanied me on a tour of the Admiral on Foster Avenue in Chicago. She stayed with me all the way and sometimes asked questions of the tour guide that I didn't think of. Later she sat down with us to talk. She was friendly and helpful, and later gave me a recap of what we had discussed. I am grateful for her presence and concern. Thank you"

Oasis Senior Advisors
"We had worked directly with Julianne Rizzo and couldn't say enough great things about her. She took the time to sit down with our family to talk through the different options available to us, scheduled visits with different facilities and provided her professional opinion on each option. She was an amazing support system when visiting the facilities, making sure we had answers to all of our questions and even asked many of her own that we hadn't thought of. Julianne knew this was a difficult decision for us and was very empathetic, caring and patient throughout the entire process. We would strongly recommend using Oasis and especially Julianne."

"Excellent! Julianne recommended several independent and supportive senior living facilities that fit my Dad’s lifestyle, limited budget, and changing medical needs. I was impressed with her wisdom, medical knowledge, and her judgment-free attitude. She was detailed, timely, and really helped me sort out what was best. I’m forever grateful to her! Thank you!!!"

"Oasis Senior Advisors were extremely helpful. Julianne provided timely and thoughtful assistance during the process of locating and securing a memory care placement for my mother. Once we identified a location, Julianne met us there to participate in our tour. She asked questions of the facility to assure that my mom’s needs would be met. We were able to find a quality facility with placement in one day. I highly recommend Oasis Senior Advisors and Julianne should you be experiencing this type of decision-making."
