Client Testimonials

“It was Betsy who got my mother onto the three-wheeled adult tricycle, and the adventures they had—cycling around inside and outside the retirement community buildings and grounds, talking about people and memories and everything under the sun—those adventures were among the very brightest spots in my mother’s last years. Betsy is and will continue to be a beacon and a blessing to all those who are fortunate enough to know her.”

“I have seen firsthand how Betsy’s love for older adults and her passion for keeping them moving make a difference. It is a joy to see how she so warmly connects with and motivates her patients with her smile and her professional acumen. The best part is her patients simply enjoy her company!”

“Betsy has made such a difference in the lives of my clients. Betsy and her team are knowledgeable and incorporate techniques to help those with cognitive impairment enjoy their time together and not consider it a task but rather an enjoyment. She helped one of my clients go home after the family really believed he'd spend the rest of his life in skilled nursing care, but she got him strong enough to return home. Amazing!”

“Betsy and Justin are miracle workers! They are professional, patient, kind, and very well trained to handle complex and challenging physical issues with clients who suffer from dementia. For example, my mom was confined to a wheelchair due to a significant knee issue and the progression of her dementia. They got her walking again! It was amazing to witness her short bursts of walking with their support and a rollator, as well as exercise within the pool.”

“Betsy and I were co-workers for over a year. She is one of the most passionate, empathetic, and knowledgeable clinicians I have worked with. Betsy cares deeply for her clients and goes above and beyond to meet not only their goals and their physical needs but cares for her clients and their families on a personal level. We need more Betsy’s in the world!”

“Justin’s enthusiasm is infectious; he and Rob talk and laugh throughout their session and all the while Rob is doing more and more! Justin’s background in exercise physiology, his longtime participation in sports and fitness, and his enthusiasm for making a difference in Rob’s life make Justin perfect for what Rob needs. Thank you Justin and GeriActiveNC!”

“Betsy is amazing with seniors who need lots of encouragement to keep trying. What makes Betsy special and so effective in her work is that she is not merely a physical trainer, she is also trained in physical therapy. With this knowledge she is able to pinpoint one’s weaknesses and focus on them. Within a couple of months of working with her, my back pain eased enough so that I no longer depended on a walker.”
