"I contacted Elder Services of Northwest Florida some years ago.  My husband Henry is a client of theirs.  I am his spouse and caregiver.  It was so hard for me too try and take care of him before I signed him up for Elder Services.  I was suffering from stress and anxiety before Elder Services.  They have supplied me with supplies, support and help.  So now he gets to stay home in his old age because of the help from Elder Services.  They have been there for both of us.  We want to thank the staff and especially Felicia, Melana and Lela for the special attention to Henry.  Elder Services are a liefsaver for the Elder Community.  They are Part of our Family."

Thank you and God Bless
