Alexis worked with our family providing care for my 85 year old Mom for close to a year. My Mom has dementia and required increasing assistance with managing ADLs and mobility including full support with showering, dressing, toileting and ambulating. Alexis also assisted with light meal prep and light housekeeping. Alexis was very dependable, and very respectful and kind with my Mom. Her past experience as an OT was very helpful as she was able to make good suggestions on assistive devices and ways to help my Mom manage like skills. We trusted Alexis implicitly in our home. We very much appreciated her cheerful attitude with us and when assisting my Mom. She was a welcome presence in our home. We highly recommend her to anyone with similar needs.
