Testimonials

"Julie Gilleand, owner of Just Ask Julie, is an extraordinary resource for helping caregivers secure daytime, in-home, and long-term care for their older adult loved ones. Her vast professional experience previously operating an assisted living facility and a memory care center, as well as her extensive network of dedicated eldercare specialists, makes her a perfect resource for helping families navigate the aging journey. Julie has assisted numerous families with alternative care solutions whose loved ones attend Peachtree Christian Health Adult Day and Brain Health Center. The feedback from these families has been consistently exceptional. Moreover, these families commented that they couldn't have conducted the search and known what to ask and look for without Julie. They also were relieved that Julie's fee for services is paid for by the placement center or facility. Unlike other elder care placement services, Julie truly is a "one-of-a-kind gem" who pours her heart into understanding the family's needs and desires and becomes a lasting advocate well after placement. In addition to making preliminary visits to prospective centers and facilities to meet with staff and tour the premises, she presents her recommendations to families based on first-hand knowledge and then accompanies them to explore viable options. Families feel confident and comfortable with having Julie by their side, every step of the journey. Even after placement, Julie continues to follow up with families and their loved ones to ensure their satisfaction. I would not consider using or referring any elder care resource or service other than Just Ask Julie!"

"Julie Gilleland at Just Ask Julie was the angel I needed so badly. I had started a search, mostly using friends who had loved ones in a facility, as my resource. I didn’t feel like I was doing a good job and then I found Julie. I was referred to her by a veteran Senior Personal Care Living Industry leadership person who spend many years in the industry, the first clue that Julie was going to be a great resource. After contacting Julie, all communication was open and candid, as well as prompt and clear. My situation is probably similar to many who have a loved one affected by Alzheimer’s and Dementia - but this was me, and my situation is important. Julie was very empathetic, as well as knowledgeable about my situation. She knew what I was dealing with and assured me she would make it easier. The inside knowledge she has about the facilities, their staffing, leadership, and many other aspects of the business was invaluable. One of the things I liked best about Julie was her no pressure approach. I was upfront telling her I was in the “Gather Info” phase as I wanted to be ready in case something happened to my wife, or more importantly, to me, as I was her primary Caregiver. It was in August, 2023 when we linked up; since then there’s not been one hint of pressure for me to decide. She also enlightened me about Adult Day Care, a service I was not aware of. She stays in touch to make sure I’m ok, but no pressure. I’ve told Julie that when the time comes, she will be my representative to lead the execution of my wife’s move. Thanks to Julie, I have two facilities to choose from that meet my needs. I highly recommend you use Julie to lead your search to identify the right facility for your loved one."

She dedicates the necessary time to educate her clients, ensuring they find the best possible solution for their unique needs. Her invaluable experience and genuine passion to guide and support families in finding the right senior living community truly make her an invaluable resource."

"There are moments in life that are just hard. Fortunately, there are people to help guide you through them. Julie is just that…..an advocate to lead you through some difficult decisions. Julie helped my parents find the perfect living situation following a hospital stay for my mom. We had to make a change quickly. Mom could not go back to independent living but needed to be in memory care, but my dad was still very capable of living on his own. Julie talked with us, assessed the needs for both parents and made a recommendation that suited the needs of both mom and dad. They wanted to still “be together” while living independently. Julie guided us through the entire process, from the tour to the paperwork and throughout the move. She was the person we could lean on when we needed questions answered or just an affirmation that we had made the right decision. Julie continues to “check in” periodically to see if we need anything and to make sure that all is continuing to go well. She is never more than a phone call away. I am happy to say we made the right choice and they are both still doing well. Thanks, Julie!"

"Julie helped us when we needed to find a new community for my mother in law. Julie saved us lots of time by narrowing down the choices.  Previously, I had to call the assisted living home and then go visit if I thought it was a good fit. 

She found out what we wanted for our loved one and a general area in which to move her. 

She found some communities that met 

our needs as far as price and location.  

We were looking for a place that would stimulate our mom more than where she was.   

She set up the appointments for us to tour the facilities. I visited one that I really liked and she agreed that she thought it would be a great fit. Julie was helpful in the days before we moved our mom when I had questions and she even came on the move in day with a vase of flowers that brightened up Mom's room.

I  would definitely recommend her services  to anyone looking to place a loved one. She is kind and patient and she understands Senior Living!"
