About Melissa

Experience: 5 yrs

Hi my name is Melissa. I have worked in the medical field for many years and love the work I continue to do. I started out as a certified medical assistant working in clinics mainly family practice but then had an opportunity to work in an Adult Family Home and fell in love working in a smaller much more intimate environment. The feeling of really being there and helping people who sometimes just need a little help finding their voice or an ear so they feel they are being heard. Whether it be about their health, or their everyday living needs I truly feel honored to have the opportunity to be that person to help navigate and help guide them to have a bright and happy future.

Melissa went over the call of duty with the care she gave to my mother on hospice. She is definately experienced and knowledgeable and always gave wonderful loving care to mom. She often did more than asked and kept herself busy during the day with the multiple household chores being done without asking. I found her communication helpful in knowing what was going on each day and appreciated her feedback and suggestions!
