    Samuel helped with my husband's ongoing physical recovery from encephalitis, from November 2013 through February 2014. We parted ways only due to scheduling incompatibilities. Samuel drove my husband to and from therapy, and he also assisted at the therapy gym by helping with transfers to/from wheelchair and managing weights and other exercise equipment. Samuel is kind, compassionate, friendly, smart, creative, responsible, and trustworthy. I highly recommend him as a caregiver.
