Adenir M.

Adenir was a companion for my father from July 2020 until the end of September 2020. Dad had dementia and Adenir worked four hours each weekday afternoon to provide companionship and to give my mother a little break. She was punctual, flexible, nice, and very caring. Adenir did some light housekeeping and medication reminders, and occasionally ran to the pharmacy or did other errands. If dad was napping, she would help mom with whatever was needed. Adenir left to deal with a family emergency, and when she returned, dad was in the hospital and subsequently passed away. If the timing had been different, we certainly would have welcomed her back.

Adenir started working for my parents in September 2006. They were in their early 80s at that time. She worked for them until November 2015, and then continued to help them out for a few months each year when they were in New York, until they permanently moved out of the area. Though she started as a housekeeper, as my parents aged, her responsibilities changed, particularly for my mother. Adenir helped her with bathing and dressing as needed, and did more of the cooking. She is an amazing person and my parents love her. Adenir is honest, sweet, intelligent and hard working. Because she was so kind, when my uncle moved into an assisted living facility and needed some extra help in July 2019, we didn't hesitate to hire Adenir to help him. He's not an easy character, but she was great with him. She stopped working for him in March 2020 because of Covid, but even now, continues to repair tears in his clothing and check up on him. I highly recommend Adenir as a person and a caregiver.

My mom suffers from Alzheimer's disease and lives in an enhanced assisted living facility. In October 2014, Adenir began coming in three times a week to assist mom with activities of daily living, and to take her to doctor appointments and to get her hair done. Adenir has access to mom's credit cards and spending money to take her out for lunch and out shopping. She is very perceptive and able to really anticipate mom's needs. My mom is a rather difficult person who sometimes makes inappropriate comments and can be downright nasty. Adenir has a really thick skin and is wonderful dealing with mom's outbursts. She is excellent at keeping in touch with us, most of the time via texting, but she is very responsive and will call us if a problem arises. Adenir is a soft spoken, thoughtful person with a tremendous amount of patience. I have no reservations recommending her to any family needing a caregiver.

My mother adored Adenir and really thought of her as a daughter. She cared for my mom from September 2011 until she passed away in March 2013. My mom had severe arthritis and complications from a urinary tract infection. Adenir came in daily and helped mom with bathing, dressing, and meals. My mom was the most wonderful parent. She worked very hard her entire life, raising nine children. We were so lucky to find Adenir, because she treated mom with the respect she truly deserved. She massaged mom's tired feet and always kept busy. She is incredibly compassionate, meticulous, and soft spoken. Adenir has a great work ethic and she couldn't be more positive.
