About Melissa

I have been a senior care provider for the past 18 years and I love it. I help people do daily activities such as showering, dressing, grooming, cooking, and cleaning so they can stay in their own homes. I am a compassionate person who really loves helping others. I have experience with Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Hospice care . I am able to to partial transfers. I am able to do house upkeep and medication management. My goal as a caregiver is to keep clients as independent and mobile as possible.

Patricia Berbaum
I have been working for a couple for about a year. They both have congestive heart failure, it was the husband I was mostly there for. He passed away a couple of weeks ago, and she doesn't really need a caregiver anymore. I have done personal care for them, range of motion, Mobility, preparing meals and just being there so they're not alone.
