![]() In Jheanell, Caring People found the perfect match for … our mom. It wasn’t easy to convince her, as she reached her 90s, that having some assistance with her daily routine would make things easier for her – and would reassure us. Our mother is an independent, opinionated and articulate woman who had a long career as a teacher and who has traveled the world. ![]() The first time our mother said that, we knew that Jheanell had made a real connection with her. ![]() I will be forever grateful for Alex’s kindness and dedication in making sure that Mom’s last days on this earth were as pleasant as they possibly could be. On top of all that, Alex offered to work on most Saturdays so that I could get out and do some personal things and enjoy breakfast or early lunch with my daughter. She was extremely diligent and dependable and, together, we worked out a very structured schedule to get everything done for Mom, which worked beautifully. She also did some light cleaning for me (laundry, vacuuming, washing dishes). So I hired Alex to come during the week from 8 am-12 … pm, which is what I could afford. Although I was working from home, I still needed someone to give Mom her abundant medications, clean her, prepare food for her, feed her, help her with some stretching exercises and talk to her while I worked during the day. I had brought my mother home and placed her on hospice. Alex was a phenomenal caregiver for my 96-year-old mother during the last 6 weeks of her life.
