I have worked with geriatric care for over 10 years. I worked at Stony Brooke hospital as a CNA, before working for private home care with individual families. 
, Dementia, and natural health care that comes along with age. I take full responsibility in all health care needs and am willing to learn about your families needs!

She was great caregiver for my mother for years.

Lena is truly a blessing for our family. From the moment she began caring for my mother, who has dementia, we knew we had found someone special. Her warmth, patience, and intuition seem to come straight from her Italian roots — where family, love, and respect for elders are at the heart of everything.

She brings that same nurturing spirit into our home every day. Whether it’s sharing stories, cooking comforting meals, or gently guiding my mom through her daily routines, Lena approaches everything with compassion and grace. She has an incredible ability to make my mother feel calm, valued, and cared for, even on the hardest days.

It’s rare to find someone who feels like family, but that’s exactly what Lena has become. Her kindness and dedication go far beyond caregiving — she brings heart, culture, and humanity to her work. We are endlessly grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Lena provided exceptional care for my grandmother over a two-year period, until her passing. She consistently demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and compassion in every aspect of her work. Lena managed daily care needs with attention and respect, and her calm, patient demeanor brought great comfort to both my grandmother and our family. I highly recommend Lena to anyone seeking a dependable and dedicated caregiver.

There are truly no words strong enough to describe how thankful my family and I are for Lena G. From the moment she began caring for my mother, she became so much more than a caregiver — she became part of our family. Alzheimer’s is a difficult journey, and having someone who shows up every single day with patience, kindness, and genuine love has been nothing short of a blessing.

Lena treats my mother with the utmost dignity and respect. She never rushes her, never loses her calm, and always finds ways to make her feel safe and seen. Whether it’s holding her hand, making her laugh, or simply sitting beside her on a quiet day, Lena’s presence brings a warmth to our home that can’t be replaced.

Her professionalism and reliability give our family complete peace of mind, but it’s her heart that makes her truly special. You can tell this isn’t just a job to her — it’s her calling. She goes above and beyond, always noticing the little things that make a big difference in my mother’s comfort and mood.

It takes an extraordinary person to do what Lena does with such grace and compassion. Knowing that my mom is in her care allows us to breathe easier and trust that she’s surrounded by love, patience, and understanding.

If you’re looking for someone to care for your loved one like they’re her own family, I can say without hesitation that Lena is the person you’ve been hoping to find. She’s an absolute gem — dependable, compassionate, and genuinely one of a kind. We are forever grateful for her.



Lena contacted me several times to work for my mother. Each time we set up a day for an interview she canceled or didn't show up. She left me hanging on more than one occasion and never returned my numerous telephone calls.

Lena has been amazing—reliable, caring, and so easy to work with. My father felt comfortable and happy with her, and I always known he was in great hands. I’d highly recommend Lena to any family! 

Lena, I do not play games as you accused me of doing. As to giving you the wrong cell number a typographic error was made. As you know I have ALS,  a severe case of the  Peripheral Arterial disease (Pad) but have now been diagnose as having glaucoma.  I do not think under the existing circumstances a woman of 97 years of age should receive the insulting message you sent. I am a retired professional artist with hands that earned my living crippled to having almost no use.  In my entire life I personally   have never been rude to or hurt any one intentionally. It was a shock to receive your message. It was not only rude, insulting but hurting as well. After reading the nice things  said about you in the reviews you have no idea how much I was looking forward to meeting you. I had every confidence in your being as described. I am writing my review  so others will be forewarned there is a side of you that is not favorable. Perhaps it will spare an older person like my self from an unpleasant experience. I hope it will.  Regards, Mrs. H
                     

I hired Lena to care for my elderly mother, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her kindness, professionalism, and dedication.

Lena has a natural gift for empathy and patience, always approaching each situation with understanding and care. She helped my mother with her daily activities, including meal preparation, medication reminders, and personal care, ensuring that everything was done with attention to detail and respect.

Lena, being from Italy, would often speak with my mother in Italian, which not only kept my mother connected to her cultural roots but also brought joy and a sense of familiarity to her.

Additionally, Lena’s reliability and punctuality were exceptional. She communicated clearly and made sure to follow up on any changes in my mother’s health or routine. It was easy to trust that my mother was in good hands.

I wholeheartedly recommend Lena to anyone seeking a caregiver. She is not only highly skilled but also compassionate, attentive, and genuinely invested in the well-being of those she cares for.
