We brought my wife home after memory care told us they could no longer care for her and she would need a skilled nursing facility. Instead, I made the necessary changes to our home to accommodate her wheelchair, hospital bed, and a small apartment for a live-in CNA from Grandma Joan. I hoped my wife would survive at least three months in the comfort of our home to justify those expenses. Well, she was a fighter, and we enjoyed another 2 years and 8 months together at home.

Key to that was Mary, our live-in CNA from Grandma Joan. Mary showed unwavering compassion towards us and exceptional competence in her healthcare and household management duties. Her previous extensive experience with similar clients had taught her many lessons not seen in less experienced agency care-givers (and we saw plenty), and my wife flourished under her care, slowing the inevitable decline of late-stage Alzheimer’s far longer than we thought possible. Mary was a blessing to us and quickly became a loved and trusted family member.

Finding Mary was fortunate, but not accidental. David of Grandma Joan quickly brought us three exceptional available candidates (with more at the ready) from his nationwide rolodex and facilitated the selection and hiring process. He provided a guidebook of everything I needed to do to set up our live-in care, including contracts, payroll, taxes, legal requirements in our state, workers comp, and everything else. Websites were simple and effective, and support staff always friendly and helpful. I can’t say enough good things about Grandma Joan! I give them my highest recommendation. So glad we found them!
