I am writing to offer my sincere recommendation for Helena, who provided exceptional home health care to my elderly mother. Helen was with our family during a time when we needed not just support, but trust, kindness, and true compassion. From the moment she began working with my mother, Helen demonstrated all of these qualities and more. She was patient, attentive, and deeply respectful of my mother's dignity and independence. Helen assisted with daily tasks including personal care, medication management, meal preparation, and mobility support. She was always professional, dependable, and attentive to my mother’s changing needs. Beyond her technical skills, Helen brought warmth and companionship into our home — and most importantly, into my mother’s life. As a family member, I always felt reassured knowing Helen was there. She communicated clearly, kept me informed, and approached every situation with calm and confidence. It is not easy to find someone with both the heart and the skill that this kind of care demands, but Helen embodies both. I recommend her without reservation to any family seeking a compassionate, reliable, and highly capable home health aide. If we needed a home health aide again, we would hire Helena immediately!
