About Erica

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I'm Erica! In late 2012, my family faced the difficult decision to place my grandmother in a nursing home facility as her dementia progressed. Unfortunately, we quickly realized she was not receiving the level of care or dignity she deserved. Witnessing her mistreatment was a turning point for me; I chose to quit my job and move her into my home to provide her with full-time, one-on-one care. Caring for her until her passing in 2018 was one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my life. It gave me a firsthand, intimate understanding of the physical and emotional needs of the aging population. I learned that beyond medical assistance, seniors need patience, advocacy, and genuine companionship. Since 2018, I have dedicated myself to home health aide positions. I stepped into this professional role because I know exactly what families are going through and, more importantly, I know exactly what their loved ones need to feel safe and respected in their own homes.

Erica has a rare gift for navigating the 'difficult days' with incredible grace and a calm energy that immediately puts my mother at ease. Whether it’s finding creative ways to encourage her to eat or simply sitting with her and listening to the same stories with a genuine smile, Erica has become a part of our family. She didn’t just provide care; she provided peace of mind for all of us. Thank you for making Mom’s last days ones that we will get to cherish forever. I speak for the whole family when I say we couldn’t have done it without you!
