Melissa took care of my father for the past 18 months. Quite simply - she's the best of the best! We had a series of other caregivers prior - and Melissa is in a class by herself. She's responsible, professional, sensitive, patient, fun to be with - and most important - caring. She does have a good medical background - which was very helpful as my father suffered from Parkinson's. Melissa had no problem doing extra chores in the house - and we never had to ask. Plus, she's a wonderful cook - her specialty being Italian cooking. She even helped my father with paying his bills and banking. And didn't mind helping out with my ailing mom as well. Melissa became an invaluable member of our family - and we were honored to have her. Unfortunately, my father's Parkinson's and kidney issues led to his passing away last month. I couldn't give Melissa a higher review than possible. She's a class act - and your family will be lucky to have her care for your loved one.
