What Others Say
"While we were initially a bit skeptical about how Dial-A-Daughter could be of help to us, we have quickly come to the conclusion that Maxine is priceless. Her assistance in the move of our parents to a retirement residence has been invaluable. Her genuine concern, hands-on help and knowledge of Victoria resources is tremendous, as are her efforts to keep us up to date by phone and email. Maxine has become a dial-a-sister!"
- Catherine and Sheila Weaver, Calgary, AB
"Maxine Demmler of Dial-A-Daughter Solutions Ltd., is like the daughter my mother never had."
- Ryan Pettersen, Victoria
"Your service is an absolute blessing! Thanks."
- Jackie Hinde, Courtney, BC
"Maxine was the answer to my prayers during a most critical period in my life when I needed to move my mother from Mississauga to Victoria. I could not make any arrangements myself since I had taken a new job and could not leave. Maxine not only found an apartment for my Mom, but also picked her up from the airport, and made many arrangements even after my mother had arrived. Vital contacts were made with the health care and banking establishments, not to mention personal care about grocery shopping, outings, and visiting the Senior Center, all of which made my mother feel at home and taken care of. Thanks to Maxine, my mother and I have accomplished these necessities, and Mom is happy, and I still have a job. Thank you, Maxine, for the efficient, caring, and personal service you have provided."
- Family Member, California
"Thanks Maxine. Honestly if it wasn't for you, I would be beside myself worrying about Dad. Thanks."
- Diane, Ottawa, ON
"It means a lot to all of us to know you are there keeping
an eye on Norman and giving us your insight. Thanks."
- Margaret, Toronto, ON
