About Karen

I am caring and compassionate and seem to be blessed when it comes to elderly people. I got into home health because when working in rehab centers it seems more people who are taken from their homes for more then just recovery seem to have greater issues with depression and overall health. For me, it is important to keep them in their own environment. My greatest accomplishment was staying with them until they pass keeping things familiar and safe for them. I truly love the elderly and feel it a blessing to be chosen for this kind of career.
