About Melinda

Experience: 6 yrs

Six+ years of full-time senior care, and I don't bounce from client to client. When I take someone on, I stay. Most recently a 98-year-old Navy veteran. I go to his house every single day, hands-on with whatever he needs: meals, mobility, medications, errands, companionship, spending quality time, all of it. Caring for veterans means something to me personally. There's a history and a respect there I don't take lightly, and he's taught me more about patience than any training ever could. CPR certified, experienced with memory care, and comfortable adapting to changing routines as needs shift. I keep families updated however they prefer, so you're never left wondering how your loved one's day went. I've moved to Idaho to be closer to my son, also a Navy veteran, and a new grandbaby on the way. I'm settling down here for good, not passing through. If you want a caregiver who sticks around for the long haul instead of a rotating door of new faces, that's me.

Melinda was always caring, compassionate, dependable, and prompt. She was very knowledgable about medications and drew up insulin for my dad. She was always willing to sub and fill in at the last minute if one of the other regular ladies called out. She was good at reminding my dad to take pills, drink water, etc. She was a great companion to my dad, too. They played games, watched westerns and movies. She was also a very good cook and made dinners for him each night. Hard to say goodbye
