I want to thank Functional Lifestyle Solutions - Carrie, Andrea and staff for their excellent care with my father. Our family knew his condition was serious and he would not be with us for a long time, so choosing assistance to help with all the basic needs was EXTREMELY important. FLS offered the very thing we needed and beyond. They are truly a group of individuals that have been called to do something so unique and they do it well. I knew my father was under the best care while he was with us. Thank you so much for being his earthly angels!

Functional Lifestyle Solutions has been a Godsend to our family !!!!! I reached out to Carrie, the owner, from a recommendation of an OTA that works for her who was helping with my sweet dad’s therapy at his home. We had been using another home care agency for 4 months prior, after his release from a skilled nursing facility. We were getting zero consistency with caregivers there , inconsistent reliability , and caregivers who weren’t capable of caring for my dad. Carrie listened to my concerns, promised consistency , reliability (she even mentioned that if a caregiver becomes unavailable at last minute notice, she or another administrator will personally go out and take care of him ) , and a caregiver who can care for his needs. She impressed me on their first visit, as she wanted to come and meet our family and assess my dad’s needs with the caregiver. Since that visit, we have had wonderful, compassionate daily caregivers… Casey , Tamara and Sarah. I’m a nurse myself and would hand pick them every single time . THANK YOU !!!! ❤️

Our first experience with Functional Lifestyle Solutions started before it was even an agency. I needed help caring for Kathy at home, knew Andrea from her work as my wife’s physical therapist, and asked her, and then later Carrie, to provide care to give me a break from the 24:7 care that I had been doing. Initially I was naïve as to how much of an impact caring for my wife was having on me, and just how much help I really needed. Andrea and Carrie provided the advice I needed to get past the “I can do it all by myself” attitude that I had, and thankfully so. For over three years FLS staff helped me with home care for my wife, and they have continued to provide care following her to stays in the hospital, Hospice In-Patient facility and now at a memory care facility. And FLS serves as an integral part of my wife’s care team alongside the memory care facility staff and administration. Some of the advice provided by FLS staff may seem unimportant or unnecessary to some but is meaningful, and often critical, to someone who has no children, no local relatives, and little other assistance, for the most part. For example, suggestions/advice concerning appropriate clothing and sizing, medication considerations, recommendations/resources for dementia-related household and personal care items, etc. Due to the care provided by FLS staff I have been able to once again get a good night’s sleep knowing that Kathy is well-cared for and safe. And I have found the time and motivation to renew some of my social interactions. But, most importantly, their help has decreased my stress level. FLS continued to provide care to my wife after I had to move her to a memory care facility. No memory care facility has the staff necessary to provide the on-going care that I felt my wife deserved/needed, and so I asked FLS to provide 24:7 care for her. And they did just that, lovingly and effectively, until her death. FLS is very flexible with scheduling, and, I believe, quite unique in not requiring a minimum number of hours, or a deposit, and not requiring a contractual obligation. The invaluable support, advice and counsel from Andrea and Carrie, and the care provided by all of the FLS caregivers (whom I call “My Earthly Angels”) have, quite literally, saved my emotional life, and quite possibly my physical life. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend FLS.

Right now the employee from Lifestyle is fantastic. At the beginning I had different employees constantly forcing me to have to train the about the house. This was corrected with the use of the same great employee all the time.

Carrie and Andrea went above and beyond with my mom in her final months. Their team did many things including helping to encourage her to eat during meal time, making sure she was not lying in wet depends, and helping her to walk the circle in the assisted living facility so she got some exercise. They were dependable and even helped to get her hair cut when we didn’t think it would be possible. Thank you for everything!!!
