Worked for 3. 5 years helping with a 93-year-old retiree who suffered from multiple strokes and early onsite dementia and Alzheimer's. My duties included grocery shopping, taking to doctor appointments, outings with family and friends. I also did light housekeeping, hygiene care, prepared meals and was a constant companion. Worked for a family in the area helping an elderly lady who was in her 80's for 2 years. She was recovering from hip surgery. I took her to doctor appointments, physical therapy, grocery shopping and I helped her around the house. Overtime she developed dementia and cancer, which caused mini strokes. My duties for her increased due to her additional medial needs. This included helping with feeding her, showering and getting her dressed. Took to her medical appointments, focused on physical activities, mental agility (puzzles and other enrichment), managed medication. While in hospice and bed bound worked with hospice care team to manage her needs.

Ann cared for my mother on several occasions over a period of 8 years. She started helping Mom when she needed less assistance--doing household chores, following through on exercises--and as Mom developed more serious health problems, Ann was always there for our family. Ann truly acted and cared for my mom as she did her own mother and made sure to communicate with me and my sister about every concern she had or what items we needed to get for Mom. When Mom entered the hospice phase, Ann was indispensable; she had the experience to help our family give Mom the best in-home care and we leaned heavily on her. There is no better caregiver than Ann.
