Best caregiver. Gentle, thoughtful, trustworthy, experienced, dedicated and hard working.

Donald is a reliable, responsible caretaker. He came to us when a family member was released from the hospital, and was able to get her back on her feet. 

Punctual and dependable just two of Donald's many qualities. The first day he came to our home to help with my brother  (who was born with cerebral palsy and mentally handicapped) we knew we made the right decision. T was 67 yrs old when they put him on a feeding tube, something very new to us. Having Donald there and witnessing the care and compassion he showed my brother along with the respect he showed my 90 yr old mother was life changing. You won't find a better person anywhere. We miss you D.

Donald took amazing care of our mom during her period of hospice until she passed away. Donald was very professional and cared for her  with great empathy and compassion. He has great care skills and can be totally trusted. We highly recommend Donald and we can be contacted for reference check.

I cannot say enough about Donald to portray how appreciate we are of his kindness will willing to care for others. He truly is caretaker on so many levels. My father was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and it came to a point where we knew we would need assistance. After searching for a short while we came across Donald, who seemed to fit the criteria we were looking for. He was willing to come by to see how my dad and him would interact. We even received recommendation letters from prior clients. 

My dad and him hit it off. They became best buds and he was always around for him. My dad loved having him around. He would perk up when Donald would come by. Donald was always very polite and respectful. My mother also noted how much she enjoyed having him around. 

The things that stood out for my family: 
- always dependable and punctual
- always respectful
- always proactive
- always flexible with time
- always offered to do more

You can't go wrong with Donald.

Donald took care of my 78 year old father who had cancer and progressively became more weak until he passed. He was SO very compassionate, kind and patient with him. He was vigilant and stepped-up to help out every chance he could. He's professional, attentive and very skilled and capable. My Mom really loved having him there and he was the only person she trusted aside from my brother and I with him. She was comfortably and confidently able to leave him at home with Donald. He is clean, smart and responsive. He became like family; my Dad would light up when he walked in. We would 100% recommend him!

Donald worked for my family for nearly 7 years taking care of my father as he suffered from a benign tumor in his brain stem. He always provided my Dad a safe and comfortable environment - especially as his health began to decline and he couldn't walk very well. Donald literally became a member of our family and my father's best friend. I feel like he is my brother and my sisters feel the same way.  My mother also formed a tremendous bond with Donald over the years and he continues to check on her since my father's passing unfortunately about a month ago.  We invited Donald with us to Las Vegas a few years ago and Virginia last year so my Dad could participate in those family trips.  Donald is professional, reliable, kind and extremely sympathetic in his care-giving skills.  Any family or person to hire him for care-giving would be enormously fortunate.  I will always keep in touch with him as a brother and friend.

Donald is a very kind individual. He works very hard and is very dedicated to helping the patients he is assigned to. I would hire Donald again in a heart beat.

Donald came into our life when my Dad needed some help to take care of himself. Donald cared for my Dad for almost 7 years and became part of my family. He gave my Dad friendship, patience, dignity, and love. Even my two-year old asks to see him when we go to Nana and Papas house.
