About melody

I have been advised I am a wonderful caregiver because i treat each patient as if they are my own relative. I enjoy assisting other with things they only wish they could do on their own. I feel the key to providing excellent care is the relationship you build with your patient and their family. When you provide care from your heart the passion will always be there and the companionship will speak for itself.
