About Mercedes

My grandmother played a vital role in my life. She helped raised me and when she started to age, I had the privilege of caring for her. I was one of her main caregivers when she was on hospice, until the day she passed away peacefully at home. Caring for my grand mother is one of the reasons why I take my job and duties seriously. I know that it brings the families peace when they have a competent, loving, patient, and compassionate care giver working with their parents/grandparents/spouse/sibling/etc. I love being able to build relationships with my patients and their families as well as hearing all of their life stories.
