About Marie

Reviewed on 8/30/2024

Marie provided exceptional care for three years as my father's health issues grew increasingly complex. She gave practical advice from small items (good hand lotion) to large (essential equipment as Dad's mobility declined). She always treated Dad with love, respect, and good humor, even when he was stubborn and confused. She modeled for us us the effective and loving responses to his changing personality as his dementia increased. In the last year or so, Marie took on greater responsibility as our Mom's mental capacities declined. Again, Marie showed great patience and good humor as she she managed the care for both with grace. In addition to providing companionship and physical care, Marie provided housekeeping services, keeping the home exceptionally clean and orderly in addition to grocery shopping, other errands, and taking Mom and Dad on outings. Marie provided round-the-clock care and remained a steady presence even when her sleep was interrupted. She kept excellent records of daily medications, food intake, elimination and so on, while also sending messages with photos and videos so even the far flung children knew what our parents were doing. Marie was an asset to our whole family, giving thorough and loving care to the physical, social, and emotional needs of our increasingly frail and confused elders. Marie became an essential part of our family and provided comprehensive care to the very end. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
