My specialty is Alzheimer's and Dementia care. Along with running activities and being able to connect with the clients I have also done personal care. I also have had part-time jobs in the evenings and weekends working with private clients in their home. Some Clients who have had Lou Gehrig's Disease, Parkinson's, and various medical conditions. I have helped with transfers, bathing, feeding, light cooking, cleaning, and companionship.

Don assisted me for the past two years. As a 89 yr old man with mobility issues (I use a walker) I need help with house-keeping, shopping, running errands. Don was a big help with all this--he has that rare quality of anticipating one's needs before they are articulated. Also he is a very good driver. He has a a very friendly and positive attitude---always upbeat. I'm sorry he moved away, and I shall miss him very much. I cannot recommend Don highly enough. Bob S
