About Darcy

Experience: 7 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am a retired social worker who spent 30+ years in the behavioral health field before finding a new passion for working with seniors! I have recent experience working with the challenges of dementia, and can provide both physical and mental enrichment for your loved one to improve their quality of life, and provide you with some respite from their ongoing needs and care. I truly value and enjoy the company and perspectives of people who have so much to share with us! I'm happy to help with appointments and other in-home tasks to support your loved one in the home, and have recently added making enrichment and/or care coordination visits to your loved one in a healthcare setting (assisted living, nursing or memory care) as your need may be. I can function as your family liaison to assure care needs are being met, and your preferences are being carried out. I am fully vaccinated (including booster), and am comfortable with masking up if you need or prefer me to.

Darcy was an absolute asset to our family when we needed help. Darcy was punctual, compassionate, and positive. She quickly got to know my Mom's needs and preferences, adjusting routines as Mom's condition declined. She used music, humor, baking, and conversation to keep my Mom active. As Mom's condition declined, Darcy helped me cope with the changes, and always communicated how the day went. I am truly grateful for the exceptional care that she provided to our family.
