About Lud

Experience: 6 yrs

Making a difference in people's lives is what I'm all about. With a graduate degree and three years of experience, I provide compassionate care, including hospice support and meal preparation. My priority is understanding your loved one's preferences and history. I'm skilled at de-escalating stressful situations and handling confusion with empathy. I communicate openly with families, following your preferred method for updates. Supporting the well-being and independence of seniors is my passion. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified. I provide a reliable care option. I have a car and I'm comfortable with pets. I'm friendly and approachable. I'm eager to bring my skills and caring nature to your family.

Lud has been caring for my dad with Alzheimer’s for a while now, she made it easy for me to trust her. There are a few things my dad can remember but he gets excited every time he sees her and we were able to see some improvement in his behavior after she arrived. Shes just really sweet, she talked to him like there was no tomorrow, and really emerged into his world, even made me a little jealous because she would get what he was saying more then me sometimes haha. They have a lot of fun together and that’s really what he needed despite of all the nurse care or doctor appointments plus medications and what to eat or not eat. She simply just came with an open heart and really listened to him and saw beyond his needs. I recommend her but as long as she still come to visit us too haha!
