Hello I have 28. years experience as a certified nurse assistant in the healthcare field. I have worked in hospitals and in private homes. I have cared for patients with many health disparities such Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Cancer, Stokes and ALS diseases over the years. I have come to the conclusion that helping others in their time of need is a rewarding experience and has taught me to have more empathy for people.

I don't even know where to begin. Gregory was a godsend to us. I can honestly say that I don't know if my father would be alive without Gregory. My father has had a rough go of it with 3 back surgeries & a stage 4 bed sore that kept him in a houston hospital for 6 months. With our family being in New Orleans it made it hard for us to be there all the time. After he developed the bedsore from the neglect of the hospital staff it was time to get outside help. We went through multiple caregivers/agencies & were so lucky to have finally found Gregory. We had a no show one day & I posted an ad begging for help. Gregory answered & showed up within the hour. My father isn't the easiest of people to deal with & he absolutely loved Gregory. Gregory was with us for many months. He was always ten minutes early & usually stayed longer until he was sure my dad was okay. He knows what he's doing & gets along with everyone. Very skilled & like a sixth sense he knew when pops would need something before he even knew. We joke that he's a psychic. Great compassion & my favorite part was that he knew when to be a little stern to get my dad to eat or do a little extra in rehab to get him well sooner. He held the hospital staff accountable & ensured my dad received the care he was due. I honestly think he knew more than most the nurses. We finally got my dad back to Louisiana with Gregory's help. He became & forever will be a member of our family. We love you Gregory!!!
