as a former resident of a "nursing home", I understand the depression and struggles of those who have lost their independence. I love seniors and enjoy learning from them as well as playing card games, doing jigsaw puzzles and just providing companionship. I believe human interaction with compassion and holding a hand or giving a hug does more healing than medicine can ever do.
Nancy has been helping with a parent for over a year now, and is extremely reliable, flexible with our schedule, an excellent communicator back to the family, and always looking for new ways to give mom the companionship and stimulation that she needs. She even brings the occasional homemade quiche, which has been a big hit. I would recommend Nancy to anyone seeking a talented, empathic, and honest professional to tend to the needs of a loved one.
