Kathy is the most wonderful caregiver in the world.  She was been home health aide to my mom for the last 2 and 1/2 years.  She worked full time for us.   Kathy would come to work with a smile on her face everyday and the kindness and care she showed my mother went above and beyond .   Her duties included bathing, grocery shopping, dressing, keeping any wounds protected and medicines taken properly as well as many additional duties.  Kathy also took my mom for longs drives …they would love going to the book store and getting ice cream.   My mother loved her immensely  and was taken care of by Kathy till her last  breath.   Kathy is truly the Best

We hired Kathy in August to help care for our father who has early onset dementia.  We moved him to MA from CT this summer which was a very disruptive and hard life change for him.   My father is a proud, intelligent, kind man, and we knew that we needed to find the perfect fit for him (not an easy task!)  And then we met Kathy.   She is one of the kindest, most exceptional people we ever could have hoped to find for our dad.  Kathy has a loving and vibrant personality, and caregiving just comes naturally to her.  She has gone above and beyond for us and for our father - there are not adequate words to express what a gift she has been for all of us.  Kathy has taken the time to really get to know my dad as a person, his likes and dislikes, his passions and his life history.  She makes him meals that he loves, gives him his medications, engages him in conversation and activities that he loves while always respecting his autonomy.   Kathy keeps his apartment absolutely spotless, does his laundry and is punctual and flexible if we need her to help outside of the scheduled times.  We honestly feel that our dad has been doing better mentally and emotionally since Kathy has come into our lives.  He is happier and more relaxed than he has been in a long time and always looks forward to seeing Kathy.  He has a genuine smile on his face when she is with him and always asks when she is coming back. You will not find a better caregiver for your loved one than Kathy, I can promise you that! Thank you for all that you do, Kathy! We are eternally grateful to have you in our lives!

It was so difficult to find suitable care for my elderly and sickly parents in their 90's who are now deceased. Most of those that we hired were fired as they were terrible. Stay away from overpriced agencies who send unqualified, uncaring and undependable caretakers.
Hospice told us that Kathy's care was responsible for prolonging their lives over Hospice's expectations. Most importantly she worked tirelessly to maintain a high quality of life. My parents loved her as we did. She did everything  to perfection. Medication, Cooking, Laundry, Talking with them, Taking care of animals, etc.and most of all spreading love.
In summary, she is the best of the best.

She will care for your parent like it's her parent. She LOVES all animals. She's the best

Kathy is absolutely THE BEST! She was hired to care for my Nana and I can't say enough good things about this special woman! Kathy was more than we could have ever wished for. Words hardly do justice for how amazing she was. Not only going above and beyond to make sure Nana had the best care, she truly became part of our family. She is patient, kind and genuine and she listens better than most! She is knowledgeable and to say she has a big heart would be an understatement. Kathy is absolute NEXT LEVEL AMAZING and if you are lucky enough to know you and or work with her, than consider yourself blessed. They don't get any better than Kathy! I will say it a million times over. We were certainly lucky to have found her and I believe she had a big part in extending the life of my Nana! (Nana also thoroughly enjoyed every minute Kathy was around, she would want me to make sure that everyone knows that!)

Kathy took care of my mother who was ill with cancer. Although she had hospice care we needed someone to be there 24/7. Hiring Kathy was the best thing I ever did for my mother. She knew so much about elder care and hospice. She was always dependable, attentive, and engaging with my mother. They grew to love each other. My whole family grew to love her as well, and I know she will always be in our lives going forward. She cared for my mother for almost a year.  She did everything and anything for my mother. She administered meds, prepared meals, made sure my mother was clean and comfortable always. She was always punctual, and had the most upbeat personality. I guess I could go on and on, but the most important thing about Kathy is she gives 110% all the time. Kathy was there the day my mother passed away. She cried with all of us. She helped my mother go peacefully. If you hire Kathy, you will never be disappointed. You will be making the right choice for your family.

Kathy has been caring for my mother who lives on her own and is in her 90s. Kathy is very caring, dependable, professional and a great resource about elderly care-giving. She gives her clients autonomy to do what they are able to do and is supportive where necessary. She is upbeat and engaging which is wonderful for my mother who is a bit of a recluse and very independent.

Kathy has been providing services for my mom and is dependable, personable and very skilled in working with elderly clients.

Kathy is a gem and we're so lucky to have found her. She is incredibly caring and goes above and beyond for my grandparents. Kathy has made a world of difference in our family's lives and we appreciate her very much. Thank you Kathy for all that you do!

Kathy is the best caregiver you will ever find. She takes such good care of my parents (90's). She is kind, caring, organized and always a huge help. To sum it up, she is great.

Kathy has a caring, vibrant personality. Confident,thorough and fast on the performance of her duties.

Kathy is one of the most genuinely caring individuals caring for the elderly. she makes them feel extra special and goes over and beyond to make sure their needs are met. 

Kathy worked with my family for over two years. She started with my father and mother together and was well liked by both. Her duties included bathing, dressing, transferring, meal prep, light cleaning, and keeping my parents active. My mother sleeps a lot and needs someone to keep her awake and involved and Kathy was excellent at that. Kathy was the kind of caregiver that knew when something was wrong and was always the first to point out if either of my parents was having a problem. I think she can diagnose a UTI better than the test strips they sell. Kathy is a very caring person and for us she followed direction without a problem. She was very capable with my father as well. She could transfer him from his bed or couch to a wheelchair, bathe and clean him and take care of all his bathroom needs. All in all, I would highly recommend Kathy as a caregiver.

Kathy, has done a terrific job as a caregiver and companion for my ill wife (age 69 with several medical conditions).  Kathy is very flexible and willing to tailor her role to the client's needs.
