*I specialize in Alzheimer's care* My career as a companion/homemaker began 20 years ago when I spent 2 years caring for a lovely 96-year-old lady with Alzheimer's. That experience was very rewarding. As a teacher and a mom, I know it's important to have someone your loved-one feels comfortable with and whom you can trust. Since then, I have had the pleasure of caring for other elderly individuals with Alzheimer's and other dementia. Please see the reviews from some of those families.
We are beyond grateful to have Melissa with us for the past four years as a caregiver for our loved one living with Alzheimer’s. Her dedication, compassion, and patience have made an incredible difference—not just in the quality of life for our family member, but for our entire family as well. Melissa is consistently kind and attentive. What sets her apart is her excellent communication—not only with our loved one, but with all of us. She keeps us informed, listens with empathy, and always makes us feel supported. Her flexibility and willingness to help, even during difficult times, have been a true gift. We trust her completely and see her as an essential part of our care team—and, honestly, like family. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
