What a lovely family. They opened their home to me to load medication trays and greet mom in bed. She is a lovely physician with Dementia. I help her with all personal needs and after I clean her room, we drive safely to her apartment in Port Jefferson. I serve her a hot breakfast and she has the Lion share of meds then. After I clean we play either cards, do art or play checkers. Then, weather permitting we do a long walk where I push her in the wheelchair. Upon return I serve a hot lunch. Then, I start my impeccable housekeeping while my client rests. At 3 we do one pill and we do assisted shower. I clean the bathroom, towels and her clothing daily. l provide her with fresh manicure in red weekly. And, when she likes I do her hair and makeup for small family occasion. I click with seniors, and adore them. My client tells me she loves me and says "what would I do without you?" Her entire apartment is cleaned weekly and I drive her back to her daughters at the close of day. If I am needed early or later I always accommodate. I am Covid negative and quarantine for my seniors. My groceries are delivered to my garage, afire they leave I carry them in and scribble my hands. Safety first.
