About Shawnna

Reviewed on 6/18/2024

My husband had a catastrophic brain stem stroke in January which resulted in hospitalization in ICU and intermediate care for 6 weeks plus 3 months in a skilled rehab facility with his tracheostomy, severe dysphagia (inability to swallow) and horrible vertigo which are the symptoms of such a stroke. We are retired and had no one to assist us so we turned to Care dot com. So far we have met and hired two wonderful caregivers on a part time basis. Shawnna immediately connected with my husband and her gentle care means so much to us. If there is a unique problem to be solved, she thinks outside the box to devise a resolution. An example was the arranging of furniture and personal items to avoid fall risk where we had not figured this out. She is expert at bathing, dressing and interacting with my husband. She helps him immensely and after he was hospitalized nearly 5 months, arranged a regular early morning wheelchair ride to see local gardens in our neighborhood. Shawnna helps me tremendously to streamline the process for laundry, furniture arrangements, and cleaning. We see our collaboration going on in the future as my husband's strength is slowly returning but we could not live as comfortably as we do without such a helpful and professional person.
