We hired Kathy in August to help care for our father who has early onset dementia. We moved him to MA from CT this summer which was a very disruptive and hard life change for him. My father is a proud, intelligent, kind man, and we knew that we needed to find the perfect fit for him (not an easy task!) And then we met Kathy. She is one of the kindest, most exceptional people we ever could have hoped to find for our dad. Kathy has a loving and vibrant personality, and caregiving just comes naturally to her. She has gone above and beyond for us and for our father - there are not adequate words to express what a gift she has been for all of us. Kathy has taken the time to really get to know my dad as a person, his likes and dislikes, his passions and his life history. She makes him meals that he loves, gives him his medications, engages him in conversation and activities that he loves while always respecting his autonomy. Kathy keeps his apartment absolutely spotless, does his laundry and is punctual and flexible if we need her to help outside of the scheduled times. We honestly feel that our dad has been doing better mentally and emotionally since Kathy has come into our lives. He is happier and more relaxed than he has been in a long time and always looks forward to seeing Kathy. He has a genuine smile on his face when she is with him and always asks when she is coming back. You will not find a better caregiver for your loved one than Kathy, I can promise you that! Thank you for all that you do, Kathy! We are eternally grateful to have you in our lives!
