About Melinda

Hi my name is Melinda Stewart 34 years old. I am a long time Navy wife. I am a reliable care giver that gives 100% to my patients as well as their families. I know how trying it can be having to do it all on your own 24/7 most people lose themselves and social interaction having a loved one who needs continuous care. I had to find that out the hard way. That is why they're people in my profession here to step in help our patient and ease the minds of their families. I treat those I care for as if they were my own family member or myself. If roles were reversed I would expect treatment for he/she or myself with respect as I would expect for my loved one or myself would be provided with. I would want the best care possible with dignity and compassion never losing sight they're not just an individual job or patient I need to go take care of NO, my client's are people with the same thoughts, emotions, and fears as everyone else. I would want them to feel comfortable knowing they are in good hands getting the best care and a new friend during this process. I am a responsible, dependable, caring Medical Assistant/Home Health provider with the knowledge to insure proficient medical care and companionship.
