Hello! My name is Kyle (I go by Ken), and I'm a licensed CNA with experience in hospice and home health care. I take pride in providing compassionate, reliable support for clients and their families. I'm comfortable assisting with daily living activities, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and companionship. In addition to my CNA training (completed at the Nursing Academy in July 2025), I have hands-on experience working with seniors, including those receiving hospice care. I enjoy cooking balanced meals, keeping living spaces clean and comfortable, and offering emotional support and conversation. I'm also dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy helping others maintain comfort and dignity at home. Whether it's preparing meals, helping with errands, or just being a kind presence, I always strive to make a positive difference in someone's day.
I am pleased to offer my strongest recommendation for Kyle, who provided post-operative care for me in August and September following a complex two-level anterior and posterior lumbar interbody fusion. My hospital stay extended to six days—one longer than planned—and I quickly realized after returning home that I had underestimated the difficulty of recovery. What I expected to be simple help with transportation, meals, and home setup became a need for 24-hour care for several days, followed by ongoing weekday support. Kyle’s professionalism, skill, and compassion made an extraordinary difference. He assisted with personal care—including bathing, dressing, and safe movement—and helped manage mobility, pain, and daily tasks. His balanced meals, timely medication reminders, and attention to household needs (laundry, linens, organization) allowed me to focus entirely on healing. His meticulous tracking of medications, symptoms, and progress proved invaluable to my care team. A turning point came when my recovery plateaued and pain suddenly increased. Kyle observed, when I was asleep, that I had begun moving in ways that clearly strained my spinal fusion. Drawing on his CNA training, he reconfigured my pillows and cushions to keep me safely positioned, preventing further injury and improving my recovery almost immediately. Equally important, Kyle supported my family with calm guidance, clear communication, and steady reliability. Given my cardiac history, I was also reassured by his current BLS, CPR, AED, and First Aid certifications—an added layer of professionalism and safety. Four months later, I am doing better than expected, and Kyle’s exceptional care played a major role. He combines technical skill with genuine compassion, and I recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking a capable, dependable, and caring home care.
