Our father lives in a small town in Minnesota with no relatives in the immediate vicinity. My siblings and I live on opposite coasts and it is a days travel for any of us to get to him. He began experiencing an age related decline in his mid-seventies due a Parkinsons diagnosis. In addition to the support he received at the independent living facility were he initially resided, he needed someone to take him on errands, advocate for him a doctor appointments and keep us informed. We found Donna E. on care.com in early 2018 and she has been working with our dad now for 8 years. She has help us through two very challenging transitions; independent living to assisted living and then assisted living to assisted living with full nursing services and memory care. Donna is empathetic, caring, committed to her work, knowledgeable about age related decline, and an excellent communicator. Our father has said many times that he doesn’t know what would have happened to him if he didn’t have Donna’s advocacy. Even when she faces her own personal challenges, Donna manages to make our dad’s needs a top priority. We are so fortunate to have found her.
