"Ever since I started taking your classes, I've learned a lot.  You've enlightened me, allowing me to bring information back to the family I work for.  Because of you I now know more about the disease and symptoms and what to do.  I have used the information a lot.  Now I enjoy going to work because I have the knowledge and don't have to be puzzled. "

Rhondine Sutherland, LivHome Caregiver

"Thank you Tiffany for all your help.  This class, and your help, has made such a difference in my life with my mom - and my dad.  You helped me effectively explain to my dad, in subtle ways, about the progress of Alzheimer's and the patience it takes to live with someone with the disease.  I know that being in your sessions gave me the best support that I needed for keeping my patience and sanity.  The support group has been such a blessing in so many ways.  Thank you so much."

J. Talbot - Morgan Hill, CA

"A good coach is a must.  We cannot imagine navigating the Alzheimer's waters without Tiffany's experience, compassion, information, guidance and humor.  She has continued to be a blessing to us as we respond to, and prepare for, the ever-changing needs of my parents through their illness."

John and Sue Size - San Jose, CA

"When dad was first diagnosed with Alzheimer’s we sought support through Tiffany’s monthly support group.  She not only gave us daily tools to deal with the care-giving stress, but we were able to see that we were not alone by hearing and learning from other families going through the same thing.  When dad took a sudden fall and we needed to make decisions quickly, Tiffany’s advice was invaluable. She helped us make critical medical care decisions based on his current condition.  She gave us the tools to navigate a wonderful place for dad to be in his final days and that was a comfort to all of us.  Tiffany is not only knowledgeable about all aspects of care-giving, but helps with a genuine and caring heart."

"Dementia Care Coaching was a godsend in our family's time of need.  Tiffany Mikles' style in educating my family regarding dementia was full of genuine caring.  She set up a practical plan for my family to follow which is enabling us to use new methods of loving our Mother in this critical time."

S. Darrow, LCSW - Campbell, CA

"Dealing with an aging parent for the first time, I had no idea what to expect, but seemed to somehow manage until my father started having cognitive issues.  I wanted to help and support him, but my way of going about it proved sadly inadequate.  My frustration level was getting progressively higher until I found Tiffany Mikles.  Meeting with her was like having a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders.  She offered tools and suggestions on dealing with my father in such a way that was compassionate, respectful, and understanding without making him feel like he was being a burden (as he had felt in the past).

Working with Tiffany was exactly what I needed, when I needed it."

Dr. Deb Sell - Prunedale, CA

"I was overwhelmed when I learned that my elderly mother, living in Florida, was showing signs of dementia.  Tiffany provided me with information and emotional support as well as practical advice.  This included educating me about what dementia is, possible care alternatives, organizing a medical record binder, questions to ask doctors and care providers, and strategies to use with a person experiencing confusion.

Tiffany helped me develop a plan to use when I went to assess my mother's situation.  Tiffany was readily available to talk with me in person, by phone, or via email.  The service and support she provided was priceless."

Pam Pell - San Jose, CA

"The staff here at Los Gatos Meadows really appreciated the helpful, encouraging tips given by Tiffany Mikles.  Several residents who have been challenging in the past, are now much more calm and comfortable with their caregivers.  I highly recommend Tiffany's services for personal, as well as professional, settings to assist in understanding dementia."
