About Donna

Hi! I am a positive and energetic mother of three grown children. For many years, I worked on providing compassionate emotional care for my patients . I have experience with Alzheimer Care, caring for patient's emotional needs in a Psychiatric Unit, and end of life care. I have a special gift of being able to calm patients of family members. I believe I can be a friend foremost, and still provide the quality home care you demand for your loved ones. My nursing style blends professionalism, a good sense of humor, and friendship. I understand the desire to keep loved ones out of senior care facilities due to their possible exposure to COVID-19, and I want to help you and your family at this time of need.
