Hello! My name is Patricia. I have been a caregiver for loved ones for about 25 years. I've worked with many clients in many different situations, including those with Alzheimer's and Dementia as well as alongside hospice care nurses. Throughout my career I have worked for agencies, self-employed, shift-work, and live-in. I love what I do and absolutely believe it is my calling. My goal is to make the lives of those that need care as easy as possible. I can be a friend, a companion, a housekeeper, or just help with general every day tasks and activities.

Patricia was an outstanding caregiver. She was very sensative and thoughtful. She helped my parents with things they did not know they needed help with. She was dependable, hard working, and caring. She was patient with my whole family.

Our family hired Patricia K in the Summer of 2022 to care for our Father, whose Alzheimer's had progressed to a point that our Mother could no longer effectively care for him.
Patricia proved trustworthy, reliable and went above and beyond for our family. We grew to think of her as a member of the family. She has a sensitive yet firm nature in how she approaches care for our Father. Additionally, she was very insightful and creative in adapting to his daily, sometimes hourly, changing conditions and the best ways to give him the quality of life he deserved.
Patricia cared for our Father for 10 months before we made the difficult decision to place him in an Alzheimer's care facility. Our decision was in the best interest of our Mother’s quality of life. During her 10 months, Patricia managed our Father’s medicine, took him to Doctor’s appointments, completed errands such as grocery shopping, and visited the local Community Center to walk and get exercise. She was present daily at our parent’s home and willing to adjust her start/stop time as we needed.
She was never late and even expanded her hours to accommodate our growing needs. Most importantly, she was honest and transparent about our Father’s behaviors, conditions, and needs. We had semi-regular meetings with her to check in and get an update on our Father’s condition and our Mother’s condition as well.
Our time with Patricia allowed our Father more time at his home, his pride, and joy. We are grateful and, without hesitation, recommend her for future caregiving assignments.

Patricia provided excellent care for my Mom over a roughly four month period in the last part of 2021. She was always on time. She treated my Mom, who has a strong independent streak, with respect and affection. She provided help with meals; transportation to appointments and shopping errands; medication management; assistance for bathing and toileting; housekeeping and laundry; hospitality for my Mom's friends; and companionship. Unfortunately my Mom has developed a neurological condition that affects autonomous function and won't be returning home but will be in an assisted living facility going forward. Otherwise we'd be hanging on to Patricia to continue to care for my Mom.

Patricia did an excellent job of caring for my 90+ year old father in his home.  She got him started on doing puzzles almost immediately to help him with his Dementia.  She became one of the family in so many ways.  She puts all her energy into doing the best job possible.  Whether it's cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, driving to appointments, or making the family feel comfortable and important.  After my father's stroke, in April 2021, she took on many more tasks to help him recover.  She never complained, just did what needed to be done.  The day before his unexpected death in the hospital, Patricia was there at his bedside holding his hand to assure him he wasn't alone.  We will be eternally grateful for the love and concern that she communicated to our family during the last 2 years.  I highly recommend her.

Patricia is very caring and kind.  She was with my mother for the last year of her life and we felt very comfortable leaving our mom in her care, which was very important to us as we lived out of state.  She did her best to try and make my mom safe and nourished, listen to her and comfort her when she was feeling down.  She kept us informed of anything we needed to know.  It's very hard to see a loved one slipping away mentally and I appreciated not only the care Patricia showed for my mother but the care and consideration she had for us as well.

We were immensely blessed to have Patricia as primary, live-in caregiver for my widowed mother-in-law for the last ten years of her life ending 2015.  Pat was much more than a caregiver, she became a sincerely devoted friend and companion.  She is a wonderfully thoughtful and considerate lady.  Pat not only looked after my mother-in-law's health and impeccable hygiene, she also applied her makeup beautifully, styled her hair, and dressed her comfortably and stylishly.  Pat cooked, cleaned, laundered, and maintained the home, shopped for groceries and supplies, and took my mother-in-law to doctor appointments.  Pat kept meticulous records of health vitals and care given.  She took it upon herself to conduct stretching and strength exercises for my mother-in-law, as well as memory and mental exercises, including music & dancing. But beyond that, Pat made life fun, enjoyable and comfortable.  My mother-in-law had the most fun of her life in her last years, thanks to Pat.  She is God-sent.
