About Christa

After solely focusing on my three boys the last four years I am excited to meet new patients looking for dependable care and companionship. For as long as I can remember I have desired to help the elderly by showing them empathy and compassion. With a lifetime of knowledge and life experiences they can teach me so much. Sometimes it's not a glamorous job but you leave and the people feel like they have been treated with dignity and respect. Their needs are met, they're comfortable or as comfortable as you can help them become. Making their day is just a very rewarding thing for me.
