Agrey is everything you need and also many things you didn't know you needed. There were times when we were uncertain and Agrey's wisdom and loving presence held it all together. A team of us friends came together to care for our decades-long elderly neighbor who had no family to care for her. I found Agrey on care.com and even from our first phone call I felt Agrey's kind and experienced support. Agrey provided full time care for our friend for the last four months of her life and she was a guide and support to our team of friends too. Agrey is an expert at taking care of someone's medical needs. She's a keen observer who knows what's needed and she also anticipates challenges. Her patience is endless. She pays attention to daily shifts in mood and motivation and adapts quickly. Agrey's coordination with hospice is precise, and her experienced assessments are invaluable in the process of navigating healthcare with doctors. She is five stars on all medical and bodily needs and her attention and energy about all of it is constant. My neighbor's home has never been as clean, tidy, and organized as when Agrey was there. My neighbor herself hadn't looked so put together in years! My friend's hair finally had the attention it needed, her nails were always clean and beautiful, and Agrey picked out sweaters, scarves, and socks that were cozy and perfect. This daily part of life became a delight rather than a burden, and this is a special gift that Agrey has. She makes it all possible with a loving presence. It's hard for me to write a short review. I keep thinking about meaningful moments with Agrey - she made my neighbor's birthday special. She made the holidays beautiful. She knew how to make my neighbor comfortable and noticed everything. Our team of friends was able to focus on connecting meaningfully with our friend because Agrey handled everything. Whatever the situation is, I know Agrey will be there with wisdom, patience, and an inspiring generosity. I am forever grateful.
