I am reliable, kind and compassionate. I would like to help by being a companion to someone that needs attention. I would be willing to do errands/ shopping or if you need someone to help with transportation to doctor appointments. Also, to be sure medication is taken on time. I took care of my father who had Parkinson's and had a job taking care of a wonderful 93-year-old woman who had dementia for over a year and a half until her passing. Also, if you need same day surgery I can be of assistance.
Linda was a huge help to me and my mom and I would recommend her without hesitation. Linda cared for my 93 yr old mom for over a year. Confident in Linda, I was able to get out of the house several days a week. Initially, my mom was mentally strong but physically weak. Linda provided her with good companionship and assisted with meals and light housekeeping. As my mom declined, Linda was always willing to assist us in any way possible with her calm demeanor and attention to detail. My mom's anxiety would flare up whenever I had to go out, but once I said Linda would be there, she would calm right down. She was comfortable with Linda around; she could relax and/or rest without feeling obligated to entertain "company". Linda was always punctual, courteous and drama free. While I was out, she would contact me when necessary. She always kept me informed as to what occurred during my absence, whether it be activities, phone calls, or visitors.
