Kerry began working for my family when my mother showed signs of needing help with her day to day routine. She walked into a situation where the family insisted on her services, but my mother was not convinced. Kerry was able to endear herself to my mother and build trust which was not easy. She knew when to insert herself and help my mother dress or perform other tasks and when to back off if my mother was having a "good" day. In addition, Kerry provided a written inventory with pictures of my mother's jewelry and analyzed her spending so that we could create a monthly budget based on real data and cancel unnecessary credit cards. She would not have been able to perform any of these duties without developing a rapport mixed with humor, kindness, and patience. Kerry helped us to understand dementia, how it was currently affecting my mother's life, and how it would affect her in the future. She was the first to suggest when it was time to transition to a nurse or nurse's aid, because my mother required a different level of assistance. Kerry's passion to help others is apparent as she maintains long-term relationships with her clients and their families. I highly recommend her!!
