About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello, my name is Melissa, I have over 20 years of healthcare experience. I have experience with eldercare, terminal illness, disabilities, dementia, and Alzheimer's. I believe in providing dignity centered comforting care. I myself was in the hospital for 45 days and almost lost my life in 2019. Because of being in the hospital I learned compassion cannot be taught, a person is born with it, and what it is like to be a patient wanting dignity and comforting care. I not only provide care and companionship, but I am also a certified care coordinator, medical biller, and end of life Doula who provides support during the death and dying process. In addition to providing care I can also assist in finding resources in your area to help with care costs. I believe laughter is one of the best medicines. I promise to always be upbeat and have a smile on my face. I would love to know more about your needs and how I may help. Sincerely, Melissa

She was a very compassionate caregiver for my father. She was attentive, kind, and spent time with him one on one to get to know him as a person not just another resident. She took her time and didn’t rush him. She was wonderful and I only wish she could have had more time with him.
