In the final year of my 101-year-old mother's life, Lerisa provided care that transcended typical caregiving. Her gentle patience and unwavering dedication created a sanctuary of dignity for my mother during her most vulnerable time. Lerisa anticipated needs before they arose—adjusting pillows moments before discomfort set in, preparing meals that brought glimpses of joy, and maintaining meticulous attention to medication schedules. Beyond physical care, she engaged my mother in meaningful conversation, honoring her stories and validating her feelings. What distinguished Lerisa was her ability to make my mother feel seen as a complete person rather than just an elderly patient. She celebrated small victories and provided comfort during difficult moments with equal compassion. The peace of mind her care provided our family was immeasurable. In our darkest hours, Lerisa's steadfast presence was our greatest comfort. Her exceptional care allowed my mother to complete her journey with grace and dignity.
