    Melissa has been a life saver for us. She has been helping take care of my 84 year old mother with failing health and memory for over 5 months. She goes out of her way to make sure my mom is well cared for. Melissa is creative while she participates in activities, plays cards, and board games for enjoyable times while she is with my mom. She takes her on local trips to the park and around town to get her out of the house. Melissa goes through photo albums with my mom and asks a lot of questions working on my mom's memory. Melissa is a fun, kind, compassionate, hard working, wonderful caregiver with outstanding positive motivation and communication skills. I highly recommend Melissa to provide safe and fantastic care for your loved one.
