About Gianina

Reviewed on 11/13/2024

We were so lucjy to have Gianina "G" to care for my grandfather in the final three months of his life. She came on within days of losing my grandmother, and at 88 with advanced dementia, we had concerns as to how my grandfather would take to new care. I was impressed in the interview, not only by her personable demeanor and communication -proved how seriously she takes her job. Thorough, smart, and incredibly compassionate, in just three months, she became my grandfather's best friend. We would joke that G was his sleepover buddy as she worked 7p-7a -- having just lost his wife, G would stay awake all night to be sure he was safe and comfortable, and that we, his family, were able to sleep! She was always on time, but even at 7p she was quick to offer a late dinner and snacks, seeing the stress our family was handling as she came on within days of my grandmother's passing. My grandfather, 88, with advanced dementia, was often sad and G was quick to encourage music, dance, jokes, storytelling, with an attentive, positive attitude and the patience of a saint. We were so lucky to have her - and while she easily covers the basics of toileting, bathing, etc - she is so much more, just a joy to have in the home. We love you, G - he loved you!
