Why a Dragonfly?

Dragonflies continue to be a bit of a nod from heaven, reminding me of my mom’s pride and joy she had in her four girls. They consistently show up at beautiful and meaningful times, and I silently greet them with a warm smile and loving memories of my mom. They also remind me of the hard times, filled with grief, goodbyes, and more than enough tears.

Testimonials

  • “Recently, a friend shared with me that serving as a caregiver for her aging mother was taking a significant toll. My friend knew she needed some kind of help, but she didn’t know where to start. LaVon Lenaway was able to explain the best options available and help my friend get started on the path to the exact help she needed, so that both she and her mother could have a significantly improved quality of life."

    - JB, Chicago, IL

  • "When I was walking alongside a friend who was at the end of her rope while providing elder care for her father, I reached out to LaVon for help. LaVon was able to provide support, affirmation, encouragement, wise counsel and direction to both public and private resources. My friend left our meeting with LaVon encouraged and feeling confident of the path forward as well as next steps."

    - DF, Elmhurst, IL

  • "LaVon was a wonderful source of guidance and support when I was trying to decide how to best help my dad sell his house and move into assisted living. She was very knowledgeable about all the different options and was patient as I talked through my concerns. She had good advice that I was able to put into action and it was a relief to know I could call her again if any more questions came up. I would definitely recommend her services to other families with older relatives who need help."

    -CH, Downers Grove, IL

  • "I first came to know LaVon when I moved my dad into a dementia care facility. She was with me and my dad for the entire transition. LaVon continued to be available to answer any & all of my questions & brainstorm ways to help with his behaviors. Her knowledge of dementia & the support groups she ran helped me through many difficult times."
