About Jessica

I cannot overemphasize the love and gratitude my family and I have for Jessi. We hired Jessi in the fall of 2024 to help my dad and our family through my dad’s experience with Alzheimer’s disease. She cared for him from shortly after his diagnosis, through transition to a memory care facility, a hip fracture with post-op rehab, the decline of his memory, cognitive function and verbal communication, his complete loss of physical autonomy, and ultimately his death. Jessi took the time to really get to know John, and they developed a genuine and unique friendship. She learned about all the things that were important to him, that brought him pleasures great and small. Over a relatively short time, the two of them developed a litany of shared experiences that they could reminisce about together. I know this was tremendously meaningful to John, that he was able to relate to her as if an old friend. Jessi understood the family dynamics and got to know all of us, including the grandchildren. I believe this allowed her to help him remember us as well. She maintained excellent communication with us–clear and concise, and even coordinated with our outside care providers to ensure seamless coverage of his care. Jessi kept us abreast on issues that she noted in the memory care facility and with the outside caregiving service. She anticipated each next step in John’s decline and helped our family prepare for them, both practically and emotionally. She guided us through this entire, sometimes difficult experience with the utmost empathy and grace. When John entered the stage of actively dying, Jessi stuck close, day and night. She was with us at his bedside through his laborious last hours and his finally peaceful transition. I cannot imagine how much more difficult this would have been without her love and compassion for John, and for us too. Jessi’s advocacy for and loving care of John has been a gift for our entire family.
