Kwame is a gem! We hired him in the spring of 2021 as a live-in caretaker for my dad, who'd had a severe stroke and was unable to move from his bed. For the next two years until my 92 year-old father passed away, Kwame worked for us. He took such great care of my father that people from the visiting nurse service told us that they had never seen an invalid patient look so good or well cared for. Kwame did everything for my dad that my mother could not: all of his cleaning and changing needs, dental hygiene, shifting my dad's sleeping position several times in the night, changing of sheets, and he even massaged his limbs so they wouldn't atrophy from lack of use. We were very lucky to have found Kwame through a referral from someone else who'd employed him to take care of their loved one. He is not just a good worker, but a joy to be around. He is friendly, very trustworthy, and an all around great person. I highly recommend him!
