Teresa was a godsend during the last six months of my uncle's life. I was his closest family and almost 1000 miles away. Teresa did a far better job working with the hospital, doctors, and nursing home than I could have done in my home town. But perhaps the best reference is from an email my Uncle sent to me " I'm so grateful to you for finding Teresa - she has made a huge difference in my care, and I feel better than I have in years. I'm very serious here when I say that if it hadn't been for her, I would be dead today!
I have known Teresa for over 20 years as a colleague and friend. She is one of the most caring and empathetic people I know. There is no limit to her knowledge. I highly recommend her to care for your family member. She was always there for me and my parents as they aged. You cannot ask for a better patient advocate for your loved ones.
I have used the nursing services of Teresa Parker for the past six years and I have found her to be the consummate professional. She has provided nursing care to several of my elderly clients and for one of them she literally saved her life. She is my go-to person whenever any of my elderly clients require any type of skilled nursing services.
I have known Teresa since 2014 after she took over the care of a mutual patient; we worked closely together caring for this patient for 4 years. Teresa has an extensive medical knowledge base, combined with excellent clinical acumen and instincts. I could always rely on her to provide accurate and timely information. Her communication skills are excellent, and I knew if she requested me to see our patient, then we needed to make this happen. Just as impressive as her medical knowledge is her caring heart and dedication to her profession. For several years Teresa eloquently managed complicated patient medical problems in the midst of a difficult social situation. She went above and beyond what would be expected of any caregiver and it was heartwarming to see the transformation of our patient made- physically and emotionally. Teresa’s medical expertise, compassion and dedication to her patients is unmatched.
Teresa is my lifeline. I don't know what I would do without her. She does so much for me. She knows all of my medications and medical history by memory, has a wonderful rapport with all of my physicians and keeps track of everything for me. Teresa would do anything for her patients and is the nurse that every patient needs.
I was stuck in a recurring cycle of Emergency Room visits and repeated Hospital stays. The doctors told me to expect this to be my "New Normal". I had never heard of a Registered Nurse Patient Advocate, but the concept had a wonderful logic: a medical professional with training and experience with only the patient as a client, no institutions. As you age and your health begins to decline, our complicated healthcare system demands that you make some extremely important decisions. How can you be expected to make the right ones when you're not at full strength? That's when you need a Patient Advocate, someone to help guide you to the best possible outcome. Thanks to my Registered Nurse Patient Advocate, that hospital cycle has been broken and I feel better than I have in years. Our association has been especially helpful at doctors' appointments. My Advocate knew what questions to ask and what information I needed to find the best road to my destination: Balanced Healthcare. It's important to have a guide who is exclusively on your side and your side only.

Teresa was an answer to my families prayers. Our world was suddenly torn into pieces when my brother was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer and we were told to surrender and to give up because no surgeon could save him. We literally had a team of doctors who told us that were crazy to have hope and faith but in that moment of darkness my gut instinct led me to contact Teresa and within a matter of moments she was at the hospital advocating and supporting my brother. Her willingness to be open minded and stand by our decision to fight was life altering and a huge part of the miracle we received. I am happy to report that my brother is still here three years later and doing well and that can only be attributed to grace and Teresa's unwavering commitment and service. Highly recommend!
We were truly blessed when Teresa came into our family. My sister was not doing well at all. After Teresa started working with her and her doctors, she did a complete turnaround. Now she has a different and more positive lifestyle. She is a different person with a will to live. After meeting Teresa for the first time, you feel like you have known her all your life. Thank you, Teresa for all your support and compassion you gave my sister and our family. Most of all thanks you for your love. Words cannot express our many thanks. We love and appreciate you so much.
As a psychologist, I appreciate people who can make my job easier. Ms. Parker has been such a person. Over the past months, I have seen her coordinate and advocate for a mutual patient and have been impressed by her diligence and competence in so doing. Her professional instincts and judgments concerning patient care have been remarkably accurate. In addition, Teresa is very warm and approachable as a person - treating all with the respect and dignity that define patient advocacy.
Teresa was key in helping my family with my late mother's care. She attended "care meetings", Dr's appointments, visited my mother and helped with caregivers and the facilities! Made a very difficult and stressful time much more bearable. Highly recommend!
Patience, Love, and Compassion are only three of the thousands of words to describe how Teresa's clients, co-workers and friends feel about her. She is truly an inspiration and touches everyone she meets.
