Hello! My name is Shelley and I am deeply passionate about caring for individuals who need compassionate, dependable support. With over 27 years of experience in senior care, I have dedicated my career to helping families feel confident that their loved ones are safe, respected, and well cared for. I specialize in caring for seniors with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, diabetes, cancer, and other chronic conditions. I understand the patience, empathy, and attentiveness required to provide quality care, and I always treat those I care for like family. My goal is to promote comfort, dignity, and independence while ensuring safety and emotional well-being. As a proud grandmother, family means everything to me. I bring warmth, kindness, and a nurturing spirit into every home I serve. In my free time, I enjoy fishing and maintaining a close relationship with God, which guides me to serve others with love and integrity. I would be honored to provide compassionate care and to your loved one.
Shelley provided care for my wife who was battling brain cancer and experiencing significant cognitive and physical limitations. She not only provided excellent, compassionate care, but she also educated our family on how to best care for my wife. She came prepared every day with a plan and was always actively involved with her care. I especially appreciated the fact that she was always engaged and not staring at her phone, which can be a problem with some caregivers. Highly recommended.
