Most recent review
Paula was so helpful when I needed assistance with some back, shoulder and balance exercises, and personal care while I was in town. Her communication before the appointment was great. And she is excellent at helping while paying attention to motion that causes pain or balance problems. She understood my concerns and ensured that she addressed all of them. She is gentle, kind, respectful and helpful. And she is very friendly. I quickly felt comfortable with her. I highly recommend her.
