We hired Sally to help out with our mother who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the age of 63. She still lives by herself and although she's close by, with everyone in the family working our mother was alone, depressed, bored, and feeling trapped having recently lost her license and she was in desperate need of companionship, rides, and more supervision than our busy family could offer her during the work week. Sally had an immediate & positive impact! She is thoughtful, thorough, caring, resourceful, collaborative, communicative & patient. I realize these are words thrown around quite a bit in references but Sally really embodies these qualities which are so important when you need to put your trust in someone to care for a loved one. Sally has wonderful intuition and ability to read her clients, ask the right questions, and she knows when to operate independently and when to call the family for permission/input/advise. Since we've met Sally our mother's mood has greatly improved and we don't have to worry about her constantly when we're not around and we get unsolicited reports and updates from Sally if anything seems like it may need a family members attention. I could go on a on but the bottom line is that we made the right choice putting our trust in Sally. I would be glad to speak on the phone with anyone who would like a more elaborate, personal reference.
