    Nichole was our families primary caregiver for my sister who had ALS. From the first day, we knew my sister was in professional and loving hands! Since ALS is degenerative and so unpredictable, it's important to have someone who is well educated in all areas of the disease. Nichole has that rare skill set. She handled bathing, toileting, grooming, interacting with PT and OT professionals as well as hospice. She also helped with grocery shopping and laundry. Nichole is a gem!! Anyone who has Nichole as their caregiver is blessed indeed!! I highly recommend her for any caregiver position.
