I communicate openly with families, following their preferred method for updates. Creating a comfortable environment is important to me.

Melina is an angel on earth who diligently cared for my mom in her home after suffering a debilitating stroke that left her immobile and non verbal. She displayed unwavering patience in all aspects of providing dependent care including frequent changing due to incontinence, meticulous bedside bathing/dressing and cooking/baking the most nutritious meals for optimal health. Melina kept my mom engaged throughout the day with activities such as watching favorite tv shows, setting up IPad jigsaw puzzles to complete , pushing her in the wheelchair for long strolls around the neighborhood and simply listening to music while enjoying sitting in the sunshine outdoors. Melina did it all with grace and I will be forever grateful for everything she did to keep my mom safely in her own home for several years.
