I needed a companion to keep my 71 y/o wife, with Altzheimers' sundowning and eloping issues, safe, stimulated, and cared for. I tried an agency's companion, it was a disaster. I found Sue on care.com. I knew Sue was a perfect fit for us on her first day. In the darkest time of my life, I had to return to work, and leave my wife, my best friend, the most precious person I know, in the hands of a stranger. I never felt uneasy with Sue on the job. My wife thrived with Sue. They laughed, went places, and enjoyed each other, as sisters would. I never had Sue call me with a problem she couldn't handle. After work, I would come home to a happy wife, a tidy home, and a friendly face. Our dog was even cared for. On the business side of things; Sue naturally put a lot into her client, and I gladly met Sue's expectations as an employer. I knew I would not find a better fit for us. Sue was Never late, always punctual, and was there whenever I needed her. We were lucky to find Sue. As my wife's disease progressed, it became time for long-term Memory Care. Sue was pivotal in transitioning my wife into the nursing home. Thank-you Sue, you've touch our hearts, and will always be called...... our friend.
