About Merle

I have been a caregiver for almost 30 years. I have worked in nursing homes as well as in my patients' homes. I have a love for helping the elders, and my number one goal is to please the patients and their families. I believe that regardless of age or condition, patients have the right to receive the best care possible. I am a mother, wife, and grandmother.
