Shorena K.

Shorena was our angel. She lived with my mother for about two years and worked 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Shorena would keep my mother clean, and she would cook and take her to the bathroom. She would also read to her, which my mother loved. When my mother was no longer able to chew her food, Shorena would puree everything for her. All of the food she prepared was fresh. Shorena would stay past her shift just to make sure the weekend aide was taking good care of my mother. She truly cared. I don't know what we would have done without her. She is the reason my mother lasted for 2 more years. She was my mother's best friend and my mother was not an easy person to get along with. From the moment she showed up to work with a bouquet of flowers to greet my mom, I knew we hired someone special. She is kind, loving, conscientious, and compassionate. I am going to start to cry just thinking about how wonderful she was. She not only became close to my mother, she became part of the family, We still get together with Shorena. She truly is the best of the best.

Shorena cared for my dad for about 3 years, up until he passed away in May 2015. My father had been hospitalized from some dental work and dehydration, and when we brought him home, we realized that we couldn't leave him alone any more. My mother had passed recently, and he needed help to care for himself. We hired Shorena and she lived with him from Monday to Friday. We were so blessed to have Shorena taking care of my dad. She would help with medications, preparing meals, bathing, and keeping the house clean. She would escort him to doctor appointments on the transportation bus that came around in our town and I would meet them at the appointments. When my father passed, Shorena was there with him. She really became part of our family and I still keep in touch with her today. I would recommend her to anyone. She handles difficult situations very well and I love how much patience she has. I would never be able to do what she did for us.
