Most recent review
David was hired as a 2nd helper for my mom but stepped up when our 1st caregiver left 2 weeks later. He worked 7 days a week changing, bathing, feeding & running errands for my mom. Though only needed 2-4 hours per day, he did this for many months taking few breaks. He never let my mom down when she called needing help late at night even though he had already been to her home that day. Those days were difficult, but he kept her laughing with love and compassion and mentally stimulated with interesting stories and history. In the last month of her life, David cared for the lady I was helping as a caregiver so I could be with my mom every day. David helped my client after surgery (cooking, driving, showering, laundry) as well with home maintenance (lawn, gutter & minor roof repair, plumbing, laying pavers & sod). He also came to my mom's at night to help with two person tasks. The skills and human qualities he shared with us were a treasured gift. We highly recommended and love David!
