History behind the name
BESTEMOR means “Grandma” or “Best Mom” in Norwegian. This is a picture of me, Julie Hvitfeldtsen, as a child, celebrating my Bestemor Ragna & Bestefar Jakob Hvitfeldtsen's, anniversary. Also pictured is my Aunt Sighnhild and cousin.
My experience in senior housing began when helping my own mom find senior housing. It was a very stressful time for our family, and we didn’t know where to turn to get her the help she needed.
With the high cost of care, we worried that she would run out of money and didn't know that we had other options if lack of finances had become an issue.
Through my own personal journey and working in the senior housing industry for over 10 years, I have been able to assist many families going through what I experienced.
I would be honored to assist your family as your trusted senior housing advisor!
Please call me or fill out the contact form so I can contact you. I am here to assist your family!
BESTEMOR is in honor of Bestefar Jakob and Bestemor Ragna... Jeg elsker deg Bestemor og Bestefar!
Norwegian Translation: I love you Grandma & Grandpa

Guidance in finding Veteran’s Aid & Attendance Pension Benefit
VETERANS, might be eligible to RECEIVE UP TO $2,100/month. We will assist in determining if they qualify. This most important benefit is overlooked by many families with Veterans or surviving spouses who need additional funds to help pay for care. Most Veterans who are in need of assistance qualify for this pension if they meet the financial requirements.
Aid and Attendance can help pay for care in a nursing home, assisted living facility and adult family homes.
