What Our Families Are Saying About Us
Dawn is our neighbor and she was a tremendous help when we were having problems with our Dad in Memory Care. Dawn has personal experience dealing with Memory Care that was very helpful in her advising us. Dawn is so loving in the way she approaches her coaching. I highly recommend her if you are looking to find a place for a parent or loved one, or if you are having troubles caring for an aging parent or loved one. Lots of good advice coming from a very loving person. 5*

I can’t even describe how helpful and amazing Dawn is. We were so stressed, we didn’t know where to turn in getting care for my Dad. I am so happy I found Dawn! She held my hand throughout the entire process. She did tons of research for us, found the facility, and even went to go tour it first to let us know if it was a good option. She was there the day we moved my dad in and continues to check in on us. Dawn has been a true advocate for our family and I am so grateful for her!!

“Dawn saved my dad, family and I from an incredibly difficult and discouraging life situation. My dad experienced a truly unfortunate accident which left my family blindingly navigating the skilled nursing care system. I was given false guidance, and lied to by facilities which left my family feeling hopeless. Dawn gave my family hope and provided guidance on other options for my dad. She was there every step of the way, and continues to be a part of our lives. If it wasn't for Dawn and her support, I honestly do not know what would have happened to my dad.
You can trust Dawn, and she will fight wholeheartedly for your family and loved ones. My family and I are forever grateful for Dawn and our referral to Graceful Transitions.”

Very knowledgeable, friendly, prompt, honest, hard-working. She was a very good resource to find excellent memory care facilities for my elderly father. Highly recommend.

Dawn was amazing to work with. She is extremely professional and caring, always looking out for the best interests of her clients. Communications were easy and timely, she made herself available to help with every detail of our needs. Her research on our behalf was thorough and exactly what we were looking to find. Her support gave us time to concentrate on other issues because we knew her research and suggestions would be the best decision for our needs.
I have worked in the past with other ‘free’ services, but never received the true support that Dawn provides. I feel it is worth it to ‘hire’ someone rather than engage the free services if you want your loved ones living in the right place for them.
I would highly recommend Dawn if you were looking for the perfect place for your loved one to receive the support they need.

Dawn is a great resource for seniors and their families when they need to make difficult decisions.

Graceful Transitions Senior Advisors helped me find a quality place ready to care for my mom with our dwindling funds. On top of our funding obstacles, my mom has multiple sclerosis (MS) and her current building could not provide the care she needs. I was in a hopeless place, but Dawn at Graceful Transitions gave my mom and me some hope. I highly recommend utilizing Dawn’s expertise and services to help you find the right place for your loved ones.

Dawn is amazing! She takes the time to help you navigate through this new stage in life. Moving our parents was a challenge and we didn’t have much time to work with. Dawn was with us every step of the way and continues to help with every and any question that we have. She knows how to keep you calm in this stressful time with explanations and can make you chuckle at the right time where you can stop and enjoy the process a bit. She spent time with my parents after the move to make sure that they were happy and made them feel more at home. She even brought them a little “welcome home” gift which was so nice of her. She goes above and beyond what other senior placement services do and becomes part of your family. She chose this line of work because she cares. I highly recommend Graceful Transitions!

Simply put, Dawn is amazing and you must work with her! I would have been lost without her. Fortunately for us, we had the luxury of time while finding a suitable place for my father. She spends an unbelievable amount of time with us touring places all around the western and southwestern suburbs. Not all senior living facilities are the same, and Dawn knows them all. Not only does she have expert-level knowledge of these facilities, but she also understands all the other aspects of making a move like this. If there are aspects that are outside her expertise, she will connect you with an expert that can assist in coordination with Dawn. I honestly can’t say enough nice things about Dawn and the way she does business. I just wish there were more people like her out there doing this work.

Dawn is absolutely wonderful. She is so caring and worked with us to get my mom in the best possible memory care facility. She is honest, helpful and a blessing to our family. She continues to check in with us to see how my mom is doing. We cannot thank Dawn enough for all she did for my mom and our family.

Dawn is fantastic! We needed to find a memory care facility for my mom and the process was so overwhelming! Dawn simplified it for us. She did her research, talked to the facilities, and scheduled tours ahead of time. She knew all the important questions to ask to ensure the one we selected was the best one for my mom. Dawn’s knowledge, demeanor, and professionalism made this difficult and heartbreaking decision a little bit easier. It was an absolute pleasure working with her.

Dawn’s the best! She was so helpful and informative! And truly-just a kind person. She really loves the people she’s working with!
