"Autumn Passages has been
providing my 24hr care since
June of 2007. With the
company van and electric
lift chair, I go out
regularly to shop and eat
locally as well as to
Manchester and Nashua. I
have a variety of caregivers
who bring their experience
and unique personalities to
my daily care plan which is
always flexible due to my
desire to travel frequently.
Every request I have is
always fulfilled by Nancy
personally and my favorite
caregivers. I feel very
fortunate to have one agency
providing everything I need
to remain at home with my
dignity and control."
