Never forget her 1st Client-Loves to Sing
This caregiver has only been a part of our growing “family” for little over two months but she said, “My first client was amazing”. She learned as the service went on this client loved to sing and sang all different types of songs. Also, she remembered all the stories her client shared. All these experiences made this a lasting memory and client she would never forget”.

A Spouse breathed a sigh of relief
Betsy has been a part of our growing “family” for close to a year. An experience, she wanted to share was “When the spouse of my client opened the door she saw the relief on her face because I was there to take care of her husband. As a bonus, I even learned how to cook fried Matzo”. I learned how to deal with a person with Alzheimer’s and how sad it is to see a person with that disease”.
Betsy’s experience with our agency has been great and she said, she is lucky to have two great clients. They all get along very well. She even recommended a friend who was hired and Betsy “told her friend this agency offers flexible hours, she has been pleased with the assignments she has been given”.
