I have cared for seniors and individuals with physical/mental disabilities for over 25yrs. I have provided services in facilities as well as in home care. I have a lot of experience with individuals who have Alzheimer's or dementia . I have end of life/ hospice experience as well. I consider it an honor to be able to assist individuals and their families in what can be challenging, life changing, and oh so important times.

Needed caregiver to be released to after outpatient surgery and Linda came into the surgery center to get me, drove me home and took me to Walgreens for a prescription, all while making me feel safe, secure, happy and what a great companion. To have that ease of mind Linda can take care of you, and all of that, I cant tell you what it meant. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU LINDA!! Will undoubtedly be asking Linda for more help like this in the future 👍💯

Linda is very kind and considerate. She is also a great communicator with the patient and has a thorough understanding of working with senior citizens. She is also very vigilant and precise. Linda also makes the patient feel valued and happy. Linda is simply the best.

Linda cared for both of my parents in my home, at least two days a week, for over two years. She was a godsend. We literally could not have managed my parents' care without her. She helped us navigate the difficult journey as my mother's dementia worsened until she passed away. Then Linda's care for my father - and our family- continued for another 18 months. Now that my father's journey has ended, we miss seeing Linda on a regular basis! I could not recommend her more highly.

We found Linda when my mom was recovering from a fall and needed support with daily tasks like dressing and bathing, doing errands and light cooking, and driving to appointments. After her fall, she had some engaged some caregivers through the rehab facility, but her experiences weren't positive and she was wary of finding another caregiver but we insisted. Linda's references were absolutely glowing and she quickly won over my mom's trust and confidence with her dependability and caring manner. She has continued to support my mom over the past 2 years through the ups and downs of her mobility (she has rheumatoid arthritis which has been very debilitating) and through a shoulder replacement surgery. During the surgery recovery, Linda provided even more assistance in areas like toileting and diabetes care. 
My mom has been insistent on staying in her own home and she really couldn't have maintained her independence if we hadn't found Linda to help her adjust to having care giving support.

Linda has worked with us for the last 4 months in caring for my elderly parents in my home.  She is a godsend. My father has Parkinson's' and my mother has dementia.  Linda's experience in care giving has helped us navigate a new and uncertain world. She is patient, kind, and attentive to my parents' needs. She is fun and full of life, and my parents look forward to seeing her. Linda goes above and beyond what we could have hoped for. I cannot speak highly enough of her! 

Linda was a great companion to my mother who was visiting us from Chicago. The challenge was that my mother has Parkinson's and is very unstable on her feet and takes many medicines. Linda ensured her safety, got her meds on time and was a fabulous companion to my 84 year old mom. They laughed together, went on walks, ate meals together, etc. I'd hire her again without hesitation. 

Our family was blessed to have such a dedicated and caring person such as Linda. She went above and beyond her scope of work to provide my mother with the utmost care. She brought such care and compassion into final days of our Mother's life. She was such a wonderful asset to our team of caregivers. Linda is a highly skilled professional who is very dependable, hard working and very compassionate about her job. I highly recommend Linda to anyone who is looking for the perfect person to care for your loved one. It was such a pleasure to have her as a caregiver.

Linda worked for me, where she took care of a group of people with developmental disabilities. Linda's group where all in wheel chairs and they were incontinent and needed assistance feeding themselves. Linda treated each of those individuals like she was caring for her son or daughter or maybe her mother. Linda approached every person with their Sir name and would tell them what she was going to do for them before she even started. Linda was one of our total care staff. This meant she did everything for the people she was in charge of at their home then at their Day Program.
Later I had the price ledge to hire Linda at a different Agency where she was a live in DSP. Linda assisted 3 seniors who were all in wheel chairs live independently in their own gown. Linda assisted them with all care skills and the home was always clean and organized. She treated the individuals with dignity and respect. Several years later Linda worked for me and she was a Case Manager over a group of people to ensure they had staff, staff were trained well and that her individuals were getting all of the medications, doctors visits, Nursing, behavioral supports, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy. Linda did an extraordinary job working with these individuals with very difficult needs. If I needed care I would call Linda. She would be who I trusted with my life and would help me advocate for myself.

I have been blessed to personally watch Linda grow into the confident and responsible caregiver that she is today. Linda began working, as a young single mother, with mentally challenged adults and discovered that she enjoyed helping individuals overcome obstacles that were once thought unattainable. While working with the agencies and families of her clients, she was introduced to a wide variety of opportunities which included senior care. I believe she has found her niche working in private in-home care. It takes a special kind of person to be totally devoted to the family and their loved one in her care. Linda has proven to have that dedication and I would not hesitate to hire her in my time of need.

Linda was a wonderful addition to our family. During late 2013, Linda lovingly and skillfully provided in-home assistance to my elderly parents. She was kind, skilled, professional, and trustworthy throughout the time when my parents needed assistance. If we hadn't reached the decision for Mom & Dad to move into an assisted living facility, Linda would still be a part of the care team. I highly recommend her.

She took excellent care of my parents for 2 1/2 years. They required in home care 7/24 for 4 1/2 years. Her compassion, dedication and commitment to my family was incredible.
