About Laurie

Mature woman. I've done home care for over fifteen years . I really enjoy my senior clients, find their views and experiences very interesting. I can hold an intelligent conversation, but also try to be aware of giving people their space/ quiet times. I now do mostly companion care. My clients are still somewhat mobile. Wheelchair or walker . No heavy lifting (stand-by assist )

Laurie has been an excellent caregiver for my 96 year old mother. She and my mother established a lovely rapport, and my mother always looked forward to her evening-shift visits, and enjoyed her company. I’m sure that Laurie’s companionship and exchanges with my mom were beneficial in maintaining her cognitive skills too. Laurie took charge of ensuring my mother’s medications were ordered, and helped to coordinate several aspects among the five caregivers that were working various shifts. I communicated with her frequently (I live out of state) and she helped me be assured that my mother was in good caring hands, and helped me be aware of any changes that were needed. I highly recommend Laurie as a caregiver.
