Lorraine J.

For three months in the fall of 2022, Lorraine started to help care for my mother. Lorraine was a caring, thoughtful, intelligent, sensitive, and well-spoken caregiver who was very knowledgeable on all issues that arose involving my mother and dementia. Lorraine always knew exactly what to do to make sure that my mother’s needs were met and that she was always happy.  Lorraine did crafts and puzzles with my mom and spent hours talking with her and taking her for walks and enjoying meals together. Lorraine’s communications with my mother, with me, and with the other members of the care team were outstanding. She kept detailed notes and could always be counted on to be clear and thorough in her reports. She helped my mother until she passed. Lorraine is a very special person and my mother and I were very lucky to have her to help with all my mother’s needs and then some.

My mother had brain cancer and was rapidly declining when we hired Lorraine in July 2019. She help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and also meals. My mother's left side was almost totally paralyzed so she also needed Lorraine's help to transfer. Lorraine did everything needed and she was amazing. Unfortunately, my mother died two months after Lorraine started. We would highly recommend her.

In February of 2015, I fell on the ice and developed a bad infection in my leg. I couldn't walk, lost a lot of weight, and became very weak. I spent almost six months in a rehab facility and Lorraine was one of my caregivers. Without question, she was one of the best caregivers there. Her philosophy was to treat patients the way she would want her family members treated and she worked hard to do that. It was obvious to me that she does not do this job just for the paycheck. She really cares. I was in a very difficult situation and she made it as good as it could be. She always had a positive attitude, whether it was helping me with an ice pack, assisting me in the bathroom or washing me, or adjusting my food tray. I trust her implicitly. On a scale of 1-5, I would give her a 10.

Lorraine was my husband's caregiver for almost 3 years. She was with us from 2012 until he passed away in December 2014. My husband had Parkinson's so I needed assistance at night so I could get sleep. Lorraine lived with us for those 3 years, and I honestly can tell you that we couldn't get anyone better. Lorraine was just wonderful and we loved her. As I said, she would do the night shift, so she changed his diaper, and helped with bathing, taking his medicines, and everything in between. She is a hard-working, honest, and trustworthy person. I can't say enough good things about Lorraine. She is an absolutely wonderful human being. Her laugh is completely infectious. If I ever needed anyone, I would call her immediately.
