About Donna

Donna H. came highly recommended to our family by my mother’s primary care provider. Today, we are pleased to add our own wholehearted recommendation to that list. Donna stepped into a very challenging caregiving situation at a time when our mother was resistant to having any caregivers in her home. Donna’s greatest strength was her ability to recognize what was needed in each moment and adapt accordingly. She brought the right combination of compassion, patience, firmness, assertiveness, attentiveness, communication, knowledge, and intuition to every situation. Most importantly, she knew when to listen, when to talk, when to be firm, and when to simply be there. Over time, Donna earned our mother’s trust and became not only one of her most trusted caregivers, but also a genuine friend. That accomplishment was particularly meaningful given how difficult it had initially been for our mother to accept outside help. Donna also became an integral member of our family’s caregiving team. She communicated effectively with all five siblings, keeping everyone informed and working collaboratively to help create the best and safest living situation possible for our mother. She was flexible and understanding of both our mother’s needs and the needs of our family, and she worked exceptionally well with our other caregivers to ensure continuity and consistency of care. Donna brought professionalism, compassion, good judgment, and genuine caring to a situation that often required all of those qualities at once. Our family is deeply grateful for the care she provided and for the trust she built with our mother. We wholeheartedly recommend Donna H. to anyone looking for a caring, capable, trustworthy, and dedicated caregiver.
