"Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful." L.R. Knost

“My family and I will always remain grateful for your help during the final stages of my mother’s illness. You helped her maintain her independence and dignity by getting her the care she needed to remain safe at home. Thanks to your service we were able to spend quality time with Mom.”

“Life can be very puzzling at times. At the age of 92 it is good to know there is someone I can talk to and share my tales of woe. I am so fortunate to have been referred to you. I keep your phone number in my phone book and it makes me feel safer somehow”

“SOS assisted my family with bringing my father home after a knee and hip replacement. They helped with everything! It started with getting a wheelchair, filling out medicare forms, getting a nurse and a home health care aide. We should have been helped by the Rehab Center’s social worker but unfortunately were not. At a stressful time they could not have been more knowledgable, efficient and compassionate. They took care of everything. I don’t know what our situation would be today without the help of SOS.”

“As a hospital-based dialysis social worker and a private practitioner, I am always looking for reliable, effective resources to refer my patients to. One of the challenges I have been confronted with in recent years is providing my homebound patients with compassionate and therapeutic counseling services. I have found this resource in Senior Options Systems…a homebound counseling service that utilizes licensed clinical social workers to provide emotional support and counseling services to those individual unable to leave the home. Historically, this has been a population that has suffered in silence due to their physical limitations. Senior Options Systems has advanced the delivery of mental health services by meeting the patient where they are…they provide an invaluable service to this popualtion!”

Options is the defining word when I think of this company. When I think of Senior Options I think of Excellence, Quality, Integrity, Respect and Effectiveness. They are the ones I will always call first for help with geriatric issues. Thanks Senior Options Systems!”

Both my parents needed to activate their Long Term Policy three years ago when my father had a stroke. Needless to say we were overwhelmed and did not know where to begin. I contacted Jennifer Rogak upon a recommendation from a friend. I was so glad I did. She was more than helpful, compassionate and professional. She helped us decipher the policy and guided us through the whole process. She was always there if we had questions and was willing to make calls on our behalf to the insurance company that holds the Long Term Policy. She was a life saver especially during this time of need with my family. I highly recommend her services and I still continue to contact her with questions. She is always willing to help and offer advice.

Jennifer met with me weekly during my darkest days. After having a tremendous loss and moving to a assisted living facility I did not know if I would ever feel better. Our weekly sessions helped me gain insight and perspective on my life. I will be forever grateful for her understanding and compassion she offered during this difficult time in my life.
