Anoushka P.

My husband and I searched for a companion for my mother-in-law who recently turned ninety years old. We interviewed several applicants from, and around, Boca Raton. They all had something to offer but no one struck us as having that sixth sense of compassion and understanding until we met Anoushka, or Annie, as we call her. We are both in the health care industry, my husband in medicine and myself in Nursing Home Administration. Knowing the 'average' companion would find my mother-in-law a challenge due to her tireless search for knowledge and entrenched opinions, only a special person would be able to fill the position -- someone who shows respect for the years lived and appreciates the experiences of a widowed woman -- in other words, a nurturing friend, as well as companion. Annie is reliable, dependable and caring. We have never worried, even though twelve hundred miles separate us, having Annie with my mother-in-law. Although Annie is only with us part-time, we have full time peace of mind. I can only say Annie is a treasure, a jewel, a gem. My mother-in-law is happy with her (as evidenced by other members in the family) and that's a testimony, not easily gotten. We know anyone lucky enough to get Annie in any capacity is truly blessed.
