We met Karen thru her daughter at church. We have been extremely happy with her taking care of our precious mother. She has full knowledge of how to take care of my mother. She kept a journal from the time she arrived til she left of daily dealings. She came up with delicious meals/snacks for my mom to eat and my mom is a picky eater. She was dependable, always on time and never in a hurry to leave. Karen watched game shows with mom and got her to play along with the show. I miss her with my mom but my brother lost his job and now is home with my mother daily. Someone else will be truly lucky to have her take care of their loved one too. Marla
