What a wonderful resource Jill Piazzi is. She is incredibly helpful, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and kind. And engaging her services is affordable as well. She helped me in the last few years of my father's life, as I had to help him navigate life and medical care from a distance. Bringing Jill onto my dad's care management team was a true game-changer for me and my dad; I couldn't have done it without her. Jill was my eyes and ears, and was always available when I needed her. She is very knowledgable about the local hospitals, rehab and other care facilities. She was able to speak with doctors and nurses on my behalf; she kept the family informed and was in ways almost like a member of the family herself. Before working with Jill, I had no idea this type of care management was available, and I only stumbled across Gray Matters through online searching for a "geriatric consultant". What a lucky day that was! Without the slightest reservation, Jill Piazzi and Gray Matters Care Management gets my most ardent and absolute recommendation!

My parents have elected to "age in place" and remain in their home of many years. I am remotely trying to help them with making sure they have access to necessary services and that they think about and make appropriate modifications to the house to allow them to live safely. A friend referred me to Jill Piazzi and she has been the answer to my prayers! She has been "boots on the ground" as a resource for referrals to care agencies, suggestions for vendors to do tasks like install grab bars, and make recommendations for in home medical equipment. Jill is great at listening to the challenges we are facing, validating concerns and making suggestions for how to approach a solution. She continues to follow up with me periodically to see how my parents are doing and to offer her assistance. It is very comforting to me that Jill is a resource I can call on now and as our needs evolve. I highly recommend Jill and the services she provides!

I cannot overstate the quality and diligence of Jill Piazzi's care for my ailing stepmother, Paulette. For over five years, Jill (as "Gray Matters") consistently demonstrated her expertise in elder care. When Paulette was merely "challenging," Jill offered sage advice. But as Paulette's dementia advanced, Jill oversaw every aspect of her care. Jill's phenomenal understanding of -- and extensive experience with -- dementia patients was crucial. But it was Jill's wisdom-tempered lovingkindness that has made her (by far) the single most important person in the last years of Paulette's life. Paulette continues to be comfortable and, as possible, to enjoy life, but she cannot express "gratitude." On the other hand, *I* will be grateful to Jill Piazzi for the rest of MY life.

We enlisted the help of Jill Piazzi to assist with placement of our elderly family member to a memory care facility. Jill was an amazing resource who was thorough, a great communicator and supportive. She visited my brother, advocated for him and accompanied us on a tour of the new facility. I highly recommend Jill if you need assistance with finding a living situation for your loved one. She really knows the systems and resources available. Her rates are very reasonable Her empathy and work ethic are impeccable. Thank you JIll!
