Adele is the ultimate dependable and courteous care giver anyone could ask for. She developed special skills working with both my disabled brother suffering from cerebral palsy leaving him wheelchair bound and my mother who suffers from a rare and progressive form of Parkinson's called Multiple Systems Atrophy. From the day of her working interview she was dedicated to her tasks including learning the specific medical requirements my family needed which included many duties that typically require a level of skill only registered nurses have. She was always willing to learn new things. She was extremely patient with my mothers early onset of dementia along with the overwhelming 24 hour intensive care my wheel chair dependent brother requires. The only reason we stopped employing Adele full time was due to a permanent move of my family back to New Mexico. I would HIGHLY recommended to anyone that has an aging parent / disabled family member. She is the BEST!
