  • Development of a light exercise schedule
  • Coordination of a healthy meal plan
  • Shopping
  • Meal preparation
  • Medication reminders

I was immediately impressed by the warm and friendly atmosphere of the office and by the owner, who was very up-front and real. I felt very at home with her and very at ease. [The caregivers] are not just employees. We are family and a team. We look out for one another, and we look out for the owner as well. She is supportive of our situations and is always there to encourage us to grow in our experience and knowledge.
