About Matthew
Experience: 10 yrs

Reviewed on 4/1/2023
My name is Charles, and we have a house that has not one, but two individuals who need special care. As anyone who has people in their lives that need every bit of energy and love you have, you know just how sensitive you are to having the right person. But what makes them right? It is love, simple and true. Matthew's love is genuine and so true. I rest knowing he is thinking about my father, planning out ahead of time how they are going to have that amazing night that brings something special into his life he's missed since being dependent, making him laugh every day and think positively about himself, helping my Dad feel dignity again! My Dad, a man of few words and little emotional expression, holds his hand to tell Matthew he loves him, and the examples go on. It is this, when you rest your heart, weary from worry, knowing that for this time in their day, they are safe, loved, laughing, and supported. Matthew gives his soul - all of it. And YOU CAN TRUST HIM COMPLETELY.
