About Jerome

Jerome is amazing! I hired Jerome through care.com when my 93-year-old father fell and ended up in the hospital with a fractured hip. After he was released, he moved back home to my mother, but was for the first time in his life confined to a wheelchair. Jerome immediately began working full-time five days a week as his primary caregiver, assisting him with bathing, physical therapy and learning a new way of being in which he could no longer walk. This was a long journey of many months for my father, and Jerome was there the entire time as his right hand man. Jerome‘s knowledge of caregiving and his ability to communicate well were some of his greatest assets. But I would say that Jerome‘s most important quality is his genuine intelligence and warmth which make him an extremely present and trustworthy person who had no problem making my parents feel comfortable and welcoming of him into their lives. My father loved having Jerome there, and I could see how his healing process was largely successful due to Jerome‘s presence and diligence helping him adapt and learn how to perform tasks on his own. Jerome pushed him in his physical therapy, taught him how to overcome his inability to walk in order to still perform basic life tasks for himself, and helped him gain the strength he needed to overcome this fall and fully heal at age 94. My mother also loved having Jerome‘s company and he often helped her with other tasks around the house when she asked. Jerome is a terrific conversationalist and always brings a spark of happiness and joy into the house. All of my family feel very fortunate to have found Jerome as my father‘s caregiver, and we could not be happier with how he helped my father get over this major hurdle in his later life. We highly recommend Jerome as a caregiver to anyone considering hiring him.
