Kind Words from Past Clients ~
“It is our absolute pleasure to recommend Lorraine as an outstanding caregiver. She is an incredibly compassionate, caring, responsible, and reliable individual with excellent communication skills. Her work is grounded in heartfelt caregiving and high standards of compassion and empathy, which shine through in every interaction.
She has a unique ability to fit seamlessly into her client’s life, even in situations where receiving care is not easy or welcome. She approaches these moments with patience, understanding, and respect—always honoring the client’s independence while providing the support they need.
Lorraine also demonstrated extraordinary professionalism while caring for two very different seniors who were partners, along with their extended families. She was able to adjust and intuitively sense how each person felt, providing care that respected their differences while still supporting their bond. At the same time, she managed communications from both families with grace, clarity, and understanding. Through it all, she carried herself with remarkable professionalism, balancing multiple dynamics while ensuring both clients felt truly cared for.
Her loving energy naturally brings comfort, and she always makes meaningful connections with people. At the same time, she has the wisdom to understand her role as caregiver while allowing the family to maintain their own routines and relationships. Her humanity makes her not only effective but also deeply appreciated and trusted.
Any family would be fortunate to have Lorraine as part of their care team. She has made an invaluable difference in ours, and I recommend her without hesitation.”
Sincerely,
The Ginther and Watson Family
