About Aimee

I cannot get your form to select senior care. My comments are based on Aimee tending to my 62-year-old late wife while on hospice. My wife had struggled with ovarian cancer for 3 1/2 years, and was on hospice for 86 days at home. It is difficult enough to be dealing with a patient that is concerned about their own mortality but the family is also deeply concerned. Having a confident, and competent medical professional available on the care team can not be overstated. Aimee cared for not just the physical well being of the patient with palliative care, but also provided advice and counseling to the family members concerning their part in caring for the patient. She advised us on what to expect , and what signs to look for, how to administer medications, etc. She was a a very valuable team member. She listened to concerns and always took the necessary time to insure no questions remained un answered. While my wife often had friends over during her period on hospice , I truly believe she enjoyed the visits by Aimee, and the fear of dying and the possibility of afterlife were sometimes philosophically discussed. I believe my wife felt more relieved for having asked Aimee talk about it. Aimee always gave me a reassuring hug as she left the house, and reassured me that I was doing well as a care giver. That meant a lot to me, a nuclear submarine engineer thrust into a full time caregiving role with no medical training, and a dying spouse. Aimee sharing a few minutes of conversation over a cup of coffee while observing the patient, and answering questions concerning care greatly reduced the family stress levels.
