Karen V.

We hired Karen to care for my father who had Alzheimer's. Karen worked 12 hours a day, 3 to 4 days a week, from January 2017 until my father's passing in September 2019. If I had to go out of town, Karen would step in and serve as a live-in caregiver. In the time Karen was with my father, it was truly a pleasure. Karen took a tough situation and addressed it with kindness, compassion, and skill. She followed my father's care plan, made great suggestions, and established a positive connection with my father. Karen provided hands-on care, reminded my father about his medication, and went to doctor appointments with him. Karen was reliable and trustworthy, and went above and beyond to make sure my father was safe and comfortable. I had 100 percent confidence in Karen's caregiving skills, and was very comfortable when I was out of town, knowing my father was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Karen as a private caregiver and would hire her again if another family member of mine needed care.

In 2000, my father was starting to show signs of dementia. We lived in a two-family home, but the rest of the family was out most of the day so we hired Karen to be with him to keep him company and keep him safe. She was his primary caregiver for more than a decade until his death in 2011. Karen was mature and responsible. She knew him well, and understood him, and as his dementia worsened, was able to keep him calm when he got agitated. She gave more as more was needed. Karen's responsibilities included medication reminders, meal preparation, help with showering and dressing, laundry and light housekeeping. I saw Karen every day and observed the caring and compassionate way she was with dad. She was keenly observant and communicated well with me. I am confident in recommending Karen as an excellent caregiver.
