About Elgin

My experience started when my mother suffered a massive stroke. I saw how devastating it was for her and my family. She needed physical and emotional help. She needed me. So for the next 15 years, me and my sister became her aides and companion. I would feed her, bathe her, cleaned her and gave medication. I was there when she needed cheering up. I transported her to the hospital and all family occasions. I made sure she was surrounded with family and friends. She always looked forward when we would leave the house for these occasions. Sadly, she passed away. I learned from her to be patient and to listen. To empathize and to be strong. To understand and to help. To put her needs above my own. I learned also to help her still enjoy life and family. Years later, the lessons I learned then would help me to take care of your loved one. I hope to be there for them, aide them and to be a companion to them. I would hope to know me as a person who will be there for the long haul.
