About Ruth

Experience: 10 yrs

I'm Ruth. I am available some weekends and Mondays. I can transport using the client's vehicle. I have over 15 years experience as a director of recreation in assisted living, nursing and rehab and memory care facilities. I am a compassionate and vibrant individual with a knack for brightening up anyone's day. With my senior companion abilities, I bring warmth, empathy, and understanding to every interaction. With years of experience and a heart full of kindness, I create meaningful connections with seniors, enriching their lives with companionship, conversation, and support. Whether it's sharing stories, enjoying a leisurely stroll, or simply lending a listening ear, my presence brings comfort and joy to those I spend time with.

Ruth has provided amazing care for my elderly mother and school-age kids while I travel for work. She is wonderful with both eldercare and childcare, and gets everyone engaged with games and meals. Everyone raves about her cooking, she plans the activities on her own, and she is a calm hand with unexpected eldercare questions that arise - she even suggested tools that would help my mom's condition. She is a real treasure, whose care has set my mind at ease.
