“I highly recommend Isabelle from Tournesol Services. Isabelle possesses a combination of intelligence, compassion, resourcefulness, energy, kindness and enthusiasm, which are all great assets in her line of work. So many people would benefit from her guidance and experience. Recently my 90-year-old mother broke her hip and required surgery. This already difficult situation was made more difficult due to my mothers increasing dementia and by the COVID-19 virus pandemic. Isabelle provided information, ideas, guidance, recommendations and emotional support during a week of crisis. My mother is now recovering in a rehabilitation facility. I recommend Isabelle’s services to anyone struggling with transitions and in need of help with managing major life issues, especially those involving the elderly. She will also be there to provide support, as would an empathetic friend. She will listen to your needs and help solve your problems with caring compassion. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to her.”

“I was very fortunate to be introduced to Isabelle last year just as I was about to be overtaken by the clutter in my house that had been accumulating in the nearly 10 years since my husband died. She is amazing! There were so many things that I should have parted with years ago, but couldn’t. In a truly supportive and non-confrontational way, Isabelle helped me “downsize.” We started with office files and moved on to clothing, books, items to be re-gifted...and we’re still at it! Isabelle is terrific, and I recommend Tournesol Services wholeheartedly. ”

“Isabelle has been helping my mom get to places, organize her week, take her to doctor’s appointments, and with whatever else she needs, including teaching her how to use a computer. She is super organized, friendly, and upbeat, and always wants to know how she can make things easier, which is particularly valuable to me with all I juggle. My mom has grown to see Isabelle not only as someone who can help her get where she needs to go and get done what needs to get done, but also enjoys her companionship and being with her. My mom has debated continuing to live with my daughters and me, or to move into a senior residence, because of the challenges of no longer being able to drive; Isabelle has made it practical for my mom to stay with us, helping her not only to get places, but also finding activities that she enjoys and pushing her to get out. She is exactly what our family needed!”

“I can’t recommend Tournesol Services enough. Isabelle came through for me several times, often at the last minute, with some of my elderly clients. I do bill paying & estate services and there are times I need someone like Isabelle. She is patient, kind, compassionate & non-judgmental. Isabelle has helped me manage care coordination with some challenging early dementia clients and has served them well. I would highly recommend Tournesol Services.”
— Paul, Daily Money Manager (2013 - 2017)
“I worked with Isabelle and Tournesol Services to help an elderly parishioner of my church settle his affairs. An avid gardener and self-sufficient gentleman, he had been living alone for many years, aging in place in a house that was deteriorating around him. Isabelle was able to create the bridge to his family who were living out of the area, handling all the arrangements, coordinating his move with his son’s family, preserving his independence through the process. Her care and sensitivity in providing the broad constellation of services, whatever was needed, was a great comfort to him and his family.”

“When a person doesn’t have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. Aperson can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude.”
