Lily cared for my father, who is 78 years old with very moderate Alzheimers, for almost a year and brought such a friendly, upbeat, and positive energy with her each day, which is very important when caring for someone like my dad who battles high anxiety on top of his dementia. She consistently provided excellent companionship, medication management, meal prep, shower/dressing assistance and went out of her way to keep my dad’s place clean and tidy. In addition to the typical caregiving needs, she often took my dad out to eat, run errands and just got him out of the house which he really enjoyed. She was also great with handling my dad’s sundowning and helped redirect his thoughts when he got stuck on certain topics or got confused between the past and present. She always had a ton of patience with him too. We are so lucky to have had Lily as part of my dad’s care team and if we had not made the decision to move him into a memory care facility then she would still be working for us. She is extremely dependable, knowledgable, easily adapts to any changes in care or schedules and has truly acted as a friend to my dad since day one. Our family would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate caregiver, especially for dementia-related needs!
