Being a caregiver is something I am truly passionate about. While obtaining over 35 years of experience, I have done senior care within my home and traveling to loved ones in their own home. I have cared for patients with: Alzheimer's, Dementia, Parkinson's, depression, diabetes, and many other illnesses. I can administer medicines, bathing, wound care and dressings, meals, light housekeeping, script pick-up, shopping, and vital signs. Providing companionship care is offered and is a very important part of keeping the mind healthy and strong. I am no longer providing transportation services just care inside your home. I am proud to treat my patients as if they were my own family at all times. My hourly rate is $20-$25. I live in Royal Oak.

Patti cared for my father for 9 years, from 2012-2021, until he passed in June of this year.

Patti may be the most compassionate person that I know. In addition to being a good care taker, she became a very good friend to my father & our family.

Patti performed the daily tasks of cleaning, food preparation, laundry. But as my father aged Patti also took care of the difficult incontinence related tasks too. But probably her single most important service was the hours of conversation she would have with my father.

While her physical stature is small, her abilities are large. She was able to lift mattresses to make the bed, take out garbage barrels each week, and carry bags of groceries into the house.

Dad has passed, but our friendship with Patti has not.

Patti cared for both my Dad and Mom for 8 months.  When my Dad passed from colon cancer, Patti continued to care for my Mother (dementia) with help from her family members until the 3 year mark when my Mom had to be moved to in-patient hospice care at Beaumont.  Patti integrated herself as part of the family and is likely the reason my Mom could hold on as long as she did.  There is not enough space here to express what Patti did for my family.  

I have known Patti for over 40 years. She is a very caring and compassionate person.  She helped to take care of my father after he was diagnosed with cancer in Sept. of 1997 until his passing in Nov. 1997.   I also know that she had cared for her significant others' mother during her illness until her passing which amounted to around 5 years.  Patti also cared for a woman whom she brought into her home so she could administer care around the clock for about 7 years. She goes above and beyond her duty when there is someone in her care.

Patti was an excellent caregiver for my mother who was very very ill. She was very efficient and caring and went beyond her call of duty at all times. I would highly recommend Patti to anyone in the need of care for themselves or their loved ones.

As Patti took care of our mother she became like family. We put all our trust in her and she gave our mother exception care for the last 3 years of her life. Without Patti's help, we would have had to put her in a nursing home and we will forever be thankful of her great services.

I would want her to be my caregiver if I was in need, had may visits to her client's homes and they are all so thankful they had her!

I am Patti's Older sister, a retired CNA Hospice Home care aide. Over the last 25 years I filled in for Patti at several of her client's homes when she had appointments or needed a few days off. Her clients suffered from Dementia, Alzheimer's, Strokes, Diabetes, Congestive heart failure and Cancer to name a few. They were all cared for with love, compassion, and always clean and fed and their homes were spotless. I have asked her if I get where I need help, will she be my aide and I would do likewise for her. I highly recommend her; she will treat your loved one like her own family.

Patti cared for my Mother with Alzheimer's, diabetes and numerous other health issues for over 8 years. Her loving care and compassion and encouragement to keep Mom alert and active kept her going way longer than anyone expected, including her doctors. She passed away last year at 91 years old. I couldn't have found a better person to care for my Mom.
