When our family members realized we needed assistance during the progression of our father’s
dementia, Sentinel (now an Avenues Home Care agency) was wonderful to work with from the
beginning. Sentinel’s initial in-home assessment reassured us that it is okay to ask for help. They
were very knowledgeable of services our dad might qualify for and quickly set up a calendar of
days and hours they could provide care. Our entire family felt the love in their care for our sweet
dad, and we will be forever grateful for that!
