Landa Gray She has provided compassionate care even under adverse circumstances as when my mother became aggressive. She has brought a smile and a cherry disposition with her into our home every day. My mother was sure Landa was her best friend. Mom and Dad both needed a hug from her and an extended good bye every night when she left.

She was creative in her approaches and brought a wealth of caregiving experience. As she had cared for seniors and I had not, I valued her suggestions for me. She would bring items that she thought would be helpful in caring for my parents; like hygiene washes, depends, books for mom; projects like puzzles or carts to engage my mother. She also provide manicures and pedicures. She entertained them by playing games.

Landa was flexible with work hours, coming when she was needed outside of her regular hours and calmly accepting last minute changes due to illness or other reasons.

It was especially important to me that my parents received the respect they deserved. Landa was always patient and king to them where I might have become impatient, she was always compassionate, particularly in her personal care and provision and hygiene care.

She kept a detailed log of her time and daily activities, which I could read in the evenings. This thoroughness was very helpful when thinking back about when symptoms might have begun or when events had changed.

I am happy to provide this reference for Landa Gray, she has been a blessing in our lives.

Sincerely,

CM
