    Waisea came to us at the end of my husbands life journey. Waisea was there with us as my husband took his last breath. I can't express the gratitude I have for him. As the sole caregiver for my husband, I was exhausted and physically and mentally breaking down. Waisea came in that first day and took over which allowed me to rest knowing my husband was in good hands. Waisea's competency and know how for managing all of the end of life needs my husband had was beyond impressive. He managed everything for us from medication to wound care and bathing. He easily established a trusting relationship with my husband who was initially very reluctant to have someone come in to help and he fit in immediately with our family. It was so easy to have him in our home. Waisea, words cannot express the gratitude our family has for your calming presence and willingness to step in and help in any way you could during such a difficult time. I cannot recommend Waisea enough.
