Kerry was a caring, kind and patient caregiver. But, more than that she was professional and knowledgeable. She helped us with so many things that we didn’t even know we needed at the time. We never had to think twice about leaving my mom in her care. She left detailed notes and genuinely enjoyed her job. My mom loved her and we thought she was an angel sent from heaven to help us. 

Kerry is very thoughtful and a caring companion and aid. She cared for my ailing husband, and he lived her company

Kerry took care of my mother during the final period of her life. My sister and I were so fortunate to have found her — especially because the COVID-19 pandemic hit during the period that Kerry was caring for my mother. My mother was an extremely discriminating woman when it came to people, so it’s a great testament to Kerry’s character and patience that she was not only readily able to care for my mom, but within a short time they truly became friends. As my sister lived 3000 miles away and I lived an hour away, I really don’t know how we would have managed without Kerry. She was a truly indispensable part of my mother’s final years, helping her maintain her independence and her dignity right till the end. 

Kerry is extremely competent at all levels of care. She’s honest, reliable, headworking and compassionate. She treats her clients with dignity and respect.  Would hire her again in a heartbeat. She gave us such peace of mind. 

I definitely recommend Kerry - she is kind and hard working and helped with my Dad at a very sensitive time for our family.  She is dedicated and one day even made it during very bad winter weather.  I was so grateful to her help and compassion.

Kerry provided personal care for my mother when she was in nursing care.  Her mind was fine, but she did have physical limitations. My mother thoroughly enjoyed Kerry’s regular visits. Sometimes they would go places, other times just spend time at the facility talking, playing games or participating in events. Kerry would also take her to some routine doctor visits. Kerry was always on time and very carrying, 


We hit the absolute JACKPOT when Kerry agreed to help care
For our Mom.
My mom who was initially reluctant to have a caregiver was quickly disarmed and charmed  the minute Kerry Started!  My mom
Really felt as if Kerry were her friend not her caregiver. I would like to think their friendship was mutual!
Having said that, Kerry was professional, punctual, reliable and responsible- all the things you’d hope for in someone you entrust your mom’s life with.  Another important aspect is she was communicative which really is important since we lived far away. What was most remarkable is how Kerry came through during the Pandemic, quite frankly risking her life to continue to come and go from our house  doing the best she knew how in a confusing time.  My mom was a spirited one and Kerry had the combo of patience and humor to  make things safe and Joyful for my mom.  The hardest part was There is  only one  Kerry and the days her shifts were over we had such trouble finding a Back up because no-one could live up to her standard. 

Kerry was an absolute godsend, I honestly don't know what I would have done without her at a difficult time. Such a caring professional who really went above and beyond when caring for my mother. I recommend her 1000%.

Kerry was absolutely amazing with my grandfather, who had Alzheimer’s before he passed. She cared for him with such patience, compassion, and genuine kindness. Her presence brought comfort not only to him but to our entire family. She didn’t just do her job she went above and beyond, becoming like family to us. I truly can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who is both skilled and sincerely caring, Kerry is the one!

Kerry, was not only professional in her care for my mother but also truly compassionate.  My mother was difficult to deal with but Kerry designed strategies that worked for both of them.  I highly recommend her to anyone with a parent needing care.

Choosing a hospice caretaker is a deeply personal and often challenging decision, and we were incredibly fortunate to have Kerry care for my father during his final stage of life. From the moment she began, Kerry demonstrated an exceptional level of compassion and attentiveness that brought immense comfort to both my father and our family.
Kerry's dedication was evident in every interaction. She approached her role with genuine warmth, always prioritizing my father's comfort and dignity. Her ability to anticipate his needs and provide thoughtful, personalized care was truly remarkable. Beyond her professional duties, Kerry offered invaluable emotional support, guiding us through a difficult time with grace and understanding. She was a calming presence, offering reassurance and practical assistance that allowed us to focus on cherishing our remaining time with my father.
We are profoundly grateful for Kerry's unwavering commitment and her ability to make such a profound difference during a sensitive and challenging period. Her presence was a true blessing, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly exceptional and compassionate hospice caretaker.


Kerry came to my family highly recommended, we needed someone to be with my Aunt and Uncle once she came out of rehab from back surgery I’m so thankful I took that recommendation! Kerry instantly bonded with my Aunt and made us feel at ease with leaving her in her care. I can’t describe the peace I felt knowing that my Aunt was receiving excellent care by someone I trusted and considered family. My Uncle 89 was very Happy to have her as well helping with chores he can no longer do. Thank You Kerry.

Kerry was an excellent caregiver for my mom! Highly recommend. 

I was so grateful to have Kerry caring for my cousin.
She was dependable and very professional.  She interacted with my cousin, took her for doctors visits, went food shopping, cooked and cleaned her house.  I never had to worry about her care and she was always so dependable in filling in extra shifts.
I would give her more than 5 stars if I could!
Kerry was a pleasure to have in our lives.



Kerry came to my family highly recommended, we needed someone to be with my mother in law once she came out of rehab. I’m so thankful I took that recommendation! Kerry instantly bonded with my mother in law and made us feel at ease with leaving her in her care.  Unfortunately we ended up making the decision to put her on hospice and Kerry was with us until the very end. Kerry is a skilled caregiver and 100% reliable . She even offered to be available at any time we felt we needed her be it day or middle of the night. 
I can’t describe the peace I felt knowing that my mother in law was receiving excellent care by someone I trusted and considered family. 

Kerry was kind, patient, up beat, friendly and put my Aunt and Uncle at ease.  I am so glad she was able to help us care for my Aunt in her finals months.

We hired Kerry in June to begin taking care of our mom, who had recently been discharged after her third and lengthy hospitalization.  Kerry hit the ground running and with her great personality established a seamless and wonderful and relationship with mom.  Kerry is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and caring and unfortunately, her and mom only got to spend about six weeks together before mom passed.  I can say with absolute certainty that we as a family had complete confidence and reassurance in knowing that Kerry was there for mom every step of the way and right to the end.  Aside from being a terrific caregiver, she is a wonderful person and quickly became a trusted friend and companion to not only our mom, but our entire family.  Thank you, Kerry with sincere gratitude...We would highly recommend Kerry for any job in the Senior Care industry!

She was fantastic. She took care of my mother in law who had dementia. Most caring human being I know. She would show up in a pinch if I need her. I was so comfortable with her at my home, she would even stay over so my husband and I could go away. I highly recommend her.

Kerry is an absolute angel. She cared for my husband with dementia and became a part of our family. Her skill and knowledge were invaluable. She is the most caring person you will ever meet.

A kind, caring person and everything you would want in a caregiver!
