Katie G.

It is my privilege to recommend Katie to you as a caregiver. I am the owner of a Geriatric Care Management company in Bergen County. Katie took the most wonderful care of my client, who had dementia, for over 2 years, allowing her to stay happily in her home, until she peacefully passed away. Katie insured that my client was always comfortable and brought much joy to her and her family everyday. She assisted with personal care, preparing meals- and managing medications. When my client was able, Katie would take her for walks, and out for meals. She created a beautiful friendship, and my client so enjoyed being with Katie. Katie also took care of the day-to-day household maintenance, filling medications, taking my client to physician appointments and discussing physician recommendations with myself and family. Katie is adept in problem-solving, she's well organized, clean and extremely compassionate. I have been in care management for over 17 years and every so often an angel comes in the form of a caregiver that enriches my clients and their families' lives--Katie is one of the most special caregivers. Without any doubt, I am positive that Katie would be a great asset to you or your family.

I enthusiastically recommend Katie. Katie worked for my family from June 2016 through March 2017, as my mother's home health aide and companion. There are many kind and caring home health aides. Katie was not the first to work for my mother but she was far and away the very best. Katie is smart, kind, considerate, caring, and thorough. She took great care with every aspect of my mother's life. Katie was my eyes and ears when I couldn't be there, often seeing things I would have never noticed. Not only did Katie supervise my mother's daily routine, but she was my mother's companion and good friend. Most importantly, Katie provided my mother with continuity of care as she became more challenged and provided my family with great peace of mind. We trusted her implicitly and know that if it was not for Katie, my mother would have left us sooner. I have no hesitation in recommending Katie. My family loves her dearly.

Katie worked with my family from June 2015 through February 2016 as a home health aide and companion for my mother. Katie stepped into my parents' lives at a challenging time, making a tremendous first impression that she only exceeded in the months that she cared for my mother. After the last string of caregivers quit, less than a week before my son's Bar Mitzvah, 200 miles away from my parents' home, Katie assumed the care of my mother. She quickly assessed the situation, identified my parents' immediate needs, including overseeing the packing, and accompanied them on the trip to our home. With such little opportunity to get to know them, her thoughtful and competent assistance ensured they were able to participate in all of the events of my son's special weekend. From that moment forward, Katie's efforts and talents were always apparent. With tremendous patience and a keen sense of interpersonal traits, she coaxed my mother (suffering from moderate dementia) to be more interactive, to eat, and even to get outside and exercise, all while providing her a level of comfort and peace of mind that we hadn't experienced with previous aides. Katie was also proactive with any healthcare and home maintenance issues that arose. She was quick to reach out to us to discuss her concerns and to take action when appropriate. Living so far away, Katie was sure to communicate with me frequently, and I always felt confident that my parents were well-cared for. And most of all, the love with which she performed her duties always shone through. In short, Katie is one of the most diligent, hard-working, trustworthy, thoughtful and caring home health aides I have had the pleasure of working with. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. As such, I am happy to offer my strongest recommendation for her as a home health aide.
