About Kara

I have been taking care of two elderly women going on three years now. One of which has dementia. These women have been together for almost 50 years and are both retired teachers and coaches. They do not have any children and have never been married. I met them and learned very quickly that they needed help with basic things. I have green to love and care deeply for them. I could never allow them to go into a nursing home I don't know if I wasn't here taking care of them that's where they would end up. They've lived a good life and they still have a long life to live ahead of them. I know I take care of them to my best ability. They are like family and they are involved in every holiday, event, vacations, that my family and I do.
