About Margaret

Margaret was an exceptional caregiver who provided 24/7 care for our mother, who was living with advanced-stage ALS. Margaret was prompt and well-spoken with all communication and had a history volunteering and working with hospice services and elder care. From the start, Margaret was eager to learn, asked insightful questions, made notes, was flexible with her schedule and assimilated into the family quickly. Our mother’s care was highly regimented and complex, involving feeding tube management, cough assist, suction, BiPap, Hoyer lift transfers, medication administration, and detailed personal care. Margaret excelled in all areas — she was dependable, a clear communicator, compassionate, and attentive to both the patient’s physical and emotional needs. Margaret took the time to truly get to know our mother as a person, not just as a patient and had a calming effect. She worked well with family, visitors and other caregivers and never seemed rush. Her empathy and calm presence made an enormous difference in the quality of care and comfort our mother received and she became the unofficial “mother hen” of our caregiving team. If you can employ Margaret, I encourage you to do so without hesitation as caregivers like her are exceptionally rare, and anyone fortunate enough to work with Margaret will quickly see why.
