Peace of Mind at the end of life...

My beloved grandmother passed away on October 20. Over the summer, through two episodes of congestive heart failure, she was attended in her home by a spectacular LPN, healer and friend and a cadre of angel/nurses whom she trained and appointed to her care.  My grandmother was able to live on her own in her home until her last days and this caregiver came to her side at ELI hospital and even read at her funeral.  I cannot say enough about the kind, compassionate, thorough and loving care that my grandmother experienced through her and the peace of mind it gave me in Los Angeles to know that she was given the highest degree of compassionate care.  She was also my babysitter from the time I was 10 years old. I recommend her and her services to anyone on the East End in need of companion or elder care.  My she be blessed and graced as the blessings she bestowed upon my entire family. I attach her credentials to share with anyone who may benefit from her extraordinary services.

“This list of tasks doesn’t do justice to the work that she did. She was on-call 24 hours a day and dealt with the innumerable issues, large and small, that arise in the daily lives of the aged. As my parents became progressively infirm, she adjusted their care and their environment — clothing, diet, assistive devices, health habits, activities, schedules — with great insight into their needs. She worked with them as partners in designing and managing their care. She created a “family” of care-givers who cared for them with kindness and respect, and whom my parents came to love…She is a person of rare wisdom and strength.” - family member of long term clients
