Karen was very kind, gentle, compassionate, giving and generous with her time. She genuinely cared about my mother. They used to sit outside and Karen would be pulling weeds from moms garden while they talked Karen helped mom with her physical therapy and provided mental stimulation. Karen is very intelligent and conversed with mom on many topics. She brought mom books to read. Karen is very organized. She sorted and administered moms medications. Ordered new medications with supplies were low so mom never ran out. She drove mom to her doctors appointments and went in with her. Asking pertinate questions so she could report back to me. Mom had so many doctors appointments, and Karen never complained. Karen took care of moms dog Gigi, even taking mom and Gigi to the vet when it came time for shots. Mom was diabetic and required a special diet which Karen provided. One of the things mom liked most was after Karen gave mom a bath, Karen would brush her hair and put a barrette in it or a ribbon. Mom liked ribbons. I trusted Karen, She never gave me reason not to. She was always present, never playing games on her phone like so many do now days. After mom passed Karen helped us rehome Gigi as I live in an apartment that does not allow dogs. I highly recommend Karen for taking care of your loved ones.
