  • Alan Figg - Former Employee, Bickford Senior Living and Retired Account Executive – WTHR-13, NBC

    From the very first day, what I saw was a ferocious fighter in Patric. What I learned was that most people who brought their parent or loved one to our senior care community realized they were in trouble, their loved one’s needs exceeded what they can do at home and desperately needed help.

    What I saw in the first steps, the fact finding process, was a rather lengthy and sometimes a complex maze of questions the administrator, medical team and families had to discuss. Patric showed tremendous compassion in this process and made it very easy for families to peel back the layers of raw emotions to find the information necessary to determine the next steps. What I learned was just how caring, supportive and empathic Patric could be with these families. She graciously soothed their pain and erased the confusion to give the family a sense of calm and comfort.
