Calling Care For Life was the best thing I've done today. I found contact information
on the Trident Health System's website in its Resource Directory. Even though I am in the medical field, I didn't know where
I should start. I knew there had to be someone with the answers I'm seeking. I had gotten completely frustrated after two
hours of calling nursing homes and other agencies. Within 15 minutes, Sheryl O'Neal gave me three key steps to get me started
towards moving my mother from another state. I know she will offer more help along the way also. Thanks Sheryl for listening,
and thanks to Care For Life for being there.
Sheryl, on behalf of Roper St. Francis Advantage Program, thank you for speaking to our members at St. Francis
Hospital yesterday. You are a wonderful speaker and a caring person, and it shows in your presentation."
