About Lisa

Lisa was a LIFESAVER for our family when my mother-in-law was sick for over a month and we found out her cancer was back. Since my husband and I live out of state and have young kids, we knew that we needed additional support since my father-in-law was not emotionally or physically able to properly care of her or have productive conversations with the medical staff. I found Lisa through Care.com and she went out of her way to come meet me in Jacksonville before my flight home and Lisa was also able to meet my mother-in-law at her in-patient rehab facility in Jacksonville. My mother-in-law felt instantly comforted when Lisa shared how she can support her through her medical appointments and home-care (i.e. including washing her hair) when she was physically strong enough to leave in-patient rehab to head home to start her chemo treatments. Lisa even noticed that my mother-in-law’s foot was swollen with water retention and jumped right into adjusting the bed position and propping pillows to help. Within 20 minutes, my mother-in-law’s foot looked less swollen and she was thankful for Lisa’s direction and help. After being in the hospitals / inpatient rehab facilities for over a month, my mother-in-law was told that her body was not strong enough to do chemo. So instead of hiring Lisa for 4 hours a day as we had initially planned when she started chemo treatments, we had to completely shift gears and hire Lisa for 24/7 care as my mother-in-law asked to spend her final days at home and not in the hospital. Lisa became the primary caretaker for my mother-in-law at the apartment, helping with food, water, medicine, coordinating with hospice, etc. She gave frequent updates to my husband and I while we were out-of-state, and also assisted during the times that we were able to come down to help be there in-person, including helping us find someone to help deliver a wheelchair, shower seat, hospital grade bed, etc. for my mother-in-law to use at the apartment. Lisa helped our family through a very difficult period, and we are so thankful that she has the knowledge and patience to help with elderly care, especially for the final stages. My father-in-law was so grateful for Lisa and said having her to help with my mother-in-law allowed him to focus on just being with my mother-in-law and grieve. Lisa has such a pure heart and builds connections fast given her easy nature. Even when emotions ran high with family members, she was always calm, despite getting very little sleep during the 4 1/2 days that my mother-in-law was home under hospice care. She worked great with the hospice team as well, and they were thankful for her knowledge and attention to detail in documenting times of medications. If you need help with your loved ones, especially if you live out-of-state from them, you will lucky to have Lisa as part of your support system!
