About Gretchen

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a retired registered respiratory therapist with over 25 years of extensive medical experience with a wide variety of medical diseases. After caring for my mother who eventually transitioned from her home to mine, 2-3 other family members and friends, I am now following what I am certain is God's instruction to use my caregiving gift in homes where I feel He places me. My goal is the highest quality care possible and to ensure that each person I have the honor of caring for is treated with dignity. My years of medical experience opens up most any situation for me. Pulmonary, tracheostomy, suction machines, aerosol/nebulizers, ventilators, post-op, surgical, trauma, oncology/chemo/radiation, hospice, stomas, catheter care, tube feeding, medication delivery, daily exercises, transportation for doctor appointments, bathing, meal prep, etc. References available upon request.

When my 97 year old mother became confined to a hospital bed we hired Gretchen to help care for her in her final days. WHAT A GODSEND!!! Gretchen was incredibly attentive to her and her needs. This is truly her calling. It was not a job for her. It was a passion. The care she provided was above and beyond what we ever expected. The compassion, gentleness, attentiveness, and love shown by Gretchen was truly astonishing. I sat in awe watching her care for and show genuine love for my mom. We were so blessed to have her and would HIGHLY recommend her as a caregiver.
