Hi I'm Rita from Pacifica been working as a caregiver since 1989. I can help with errands and Home Care. I know how to use a hoyer lift and other medical equipment's used by quadriplegic patients.
I am pleased and honored to write this review for Rita! She was our mother’s care giver for two years including the last eight months of her life when mom was in hospice.There are not enough superlatives in my vocabulary to describe how wonderful and extraordinary a caregiver Rita is!! She was not only a caregiver, but became a trusted friend and part of our family! Everyone in our family loves Rita and we are so grateful that she was our mother’s caregiver! Rita is very intelligent, well educated and experienced in patient care! It was obvious that she knew how to operate the medical devices surrounding my mom. The gentle way she lifted mom, helped her into her wheelchair, operated her bed and kept all her breathing masks clean were evidence of her care knowledge. Rita was always aware of mom’s medical care instructions and administered her medications with the outmost care and diligence! I always appreciated that she did not hesitate to call my brother or myself when she had questions! Anytime I dropped by the house was clean and so was my mom! She was 100% focused on mom’s comfort and care! Rita is the consummate professional! She is the BEST!!! More than anything, Rita provided comfort and loving companionship to my mother in her final years! Actually the best recommendation for Rita probably came from the patient my mom!! Mom was a very difficult person to please! She did not like any of her first several care givers. Mom spoke limited English. She spoke mostly Japanese. However, Rita’s warmth and her efforts to genuinely care for mom won mom over. She tried to make Japanese food and she would watch Japanese tv especially cooking shows with my mom. Often we would joke that she would be speaking Japanese before long! She always put her patients need before hers. Mom grew to trust and love Rita! Towards the very end, we considered putting mom in a care facility, but mom didn’t want to go because she wanted Rita with her! Instead we hired Rita and her colleagues to give mom 24/7 care the last month of her life! We are so glad we did! Rita was a blessing to us! We recommend her highly!!
