Overview For nearly two years, Padma Koch has provided exceptional personal care for my husband, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and Dementia after surviving a three-year battle with cancer. The challenges of memory loss and physical weakness from chemotherapy and radiation required a caregiver who was not only dependable and communicative but also compassionate and skilled. From the very beginning, Padma exceeded every expectation. Strengths and Qualities • Demonstrates remarkable compassion, patience, and attentiveness—essential for Alzheimer’s and Dementia care. • Skilled in daily living assistance, including mobility, bathing, meals, and dressing. • Diligently records and communicates any changes in my husband’s condition. • Handles challenges calmly and proactively, adapting to my husband’s needs as they changed, sometimes hour by hour. • Earned my complete trust as an advocate for my husband when I could not be present. • Collaborated seamlessly with hospice staff, including the RN and CPN, to ensure my husband’s needs were fully met. Beyond Exceptional Care Padma consistently went above and beyond, not only attending to my husband’s needs but also easing my own burdens. She would complete household chores while my husband rested, offering invaluable support that allowed me to focus on my family. Her emotional support during my husband’s illness and passing was a true blessing, and she will always be a cherished part of our lives. Recommendation I wholeheartedly recommend Padma Koch for any caregiving role requiring trust, skill, and compassion. You need not look any further.
