During Senior care my priority is to provide comfort and safety. Helping with medications, meals, self safe (bathing etc.. ) as well as errands or anything else the client may need me to assist with.

Melba and her husband Jose have been working for us since 2015, cleaning first our condo and now our house. We trust them completely. When we leave town, we are comfortable leaving them our keys so they can look after and feed our cats. They are excellent pet-sitters, cats and dogs. When I leave town they aid my husband, who has Parkinson’s. They are responsible, hardworking, friendly, and reliable. I cannot stress enough how we appreciate their presence and the care and effort we receive from them.
