"Founders Message"

Dear Friends,

I am humbled to share with you why partnering with Friends of Marci is crucial in today’s society to provide the best care for your parents.

Being the youngest of 8 children of immigrant parents who moved to America from the Philippines, I’ve witnessed how my parents worked hard to give us the best quality of life. They worked endless hours to provide the best for us. Whether it was the simplest things in life, from helping with homework to purchasing a piano, my parents did it all because they loved us.

As my parents aged and their health deteriorated, it became apparent that caring for them would be life-changing. Although I have many siblings who could help, we were never prepared for what was to come. The constant concern of who would assist with their daily activities, who would advocate for them when they couldn’t speak, who would be their companion when they didn’t even recognize us, who would manage their medication, and so much more, became overwhelming. The reality is, when you face these challenges without a plan, it can cause conflict and tear families apart.

In 2023, after my mom, who was the matriarch of our family, passed away, I vowed to dedicate myself to living by her legacy. I often wondered, what would Mom want me to do? It was then that Friends of Marci was founded and came to life. As a non-profit organization, I am dedicated to helping families connect with professionals who share the same passion for ensuring our senior citizens have the best quality of life in their golden years.

Friends of Marci is committed to providing best-in-class services to help you plan and prepare for your aging parent golden years. Through our network of licensed, insured, and trusted professionals, we will provide the resources to find the best care for your parent.

Dedicated to my mom, Marcelina Ramos Milan (1928-2023), together we can make a difference.

May you find peace knowing you have us to help you every step of the way.

Yours truly,

Aurea
Founder, Friends of Marci

See What Clients Say

Friends of Marci is Truly Priceless! We found ourselves in complete panic when our Mothers care needs changed form Home Care to Nursing Home Care due to an unforeseen medical issue. FoM stepped in and assisted, making it a seamless transition. They updated Marci's RoadMap and have truly been a wonderful partner (and really part of our family, now).

I am the sole care taker of my 83 year old father and was overwhelmed with the amount of things that needed to be done. Friends of Marci was able to help me create a map, prioritize and execute a plan that has been spot on and fits my budget. As a matter of fact, my fathers health has seemed to improve with some of the social wellness activities that we included in the Plan. I couldn't thank you guys enough.

We had no idea where to start, we just knew we needed to do something. As a Project Manager, I knew my husband and I needed a plan. Friends of Marci's expertise and focus customer service was a breath of fresh air.
I will be recommending their services to all my friends and family.
