| We had Dee Dee for our health caregiver. She was very good in everything she did. She took very good care of my husband she was gentle, kind and had a very upbeat manner. She is one of the best. I can not say enough good about her. She was very concientious about everything she did in the care of my husband. He really looked forward to her coming in on Monday morning. I would recommend her to anyone that asked. We had her for 6 weeks. |

I wanted you to be among the first to let you know that Park View Home
is officially open, and grateful families are making our home their own.
There is sense of joy, comfort, and completion during this time.
I want to sincerely thank you and am so grateful for the key role you had in making our dream a reality. A special place such as Park View strengthens our sense of community and reminds us of how we individually
and collectively make a diffrence for others in time of need.
The $2 million fundraising goal for Park View Home is complete.
This accomplishment is extraordinary in and of itself, the generosity
of others now touches so many through the care, compassion
and expertise we offer to our patients and families.
Please accept my deepest gratitude for all you have done and are doing. This moment is a special treasure to me, to our community, and to the mission of Sharp HospiceCare. Your act of caring and kindness helps us transform lives, even in the most difficult of times. We are so thankful. Thank you,
Suzi K. Hohnson, Vice President

This letter is being written on behalf of Maria Elena Silva, an employee of A Better Solutions. Inc. Over the last eight months, Maria Elena has worked for me in my home on two separate occasions providing home care for my father, Arthur Mosen, during periods when my mother (whos has been my father’s primary caregiver for many years) was hospitalized with an illness that eventually led to her death in early June of this year. On these occasions Maria Elena has done exemplary work, stepping in to perform the sorts of duties that my mother had done, and allowing me to be absent from home in order to continue with my own full-time employment. She is completely reliable, and I have been able to depends on her to
show up for work punctually every day; to give me advance notice if there is something in her personal life, such as a doctor’s appointment, that we need to anticipate and schedule around; and to stay with my father beyond her normal quitting time despite having somewhere else to be because another home care person fails to come to work as scheduled. I have valued her sense of responsibility in these and all other matters that she has dealt with while serving my father’s needs and mine.
My father is 87 years of age and suffers from dementia. His condition requires constant attention, and he reuquires frequent assistance with a great deal of patience and understanding in the process. Maria Elena has demonstrated these qualities in her treatment of my father, which has been gentle, attentive and warm-hearted. In addition, she has at times shown concern not only for my father’s well-being and stateof mind, but for my own as well. I am deeply grateful to her for that. I have, without exaggeration, begun to think of her as a part of my family, and she will a
lways be welcome in my home.
Because of all of these things. it is very difficult for me to let Maria Elena go. But my father is moving into a care center on a full – time. permanent basis, and is no longer living at home with me, so I have no further need of her help in caring for him. There is a degree of sadness for me, then, in writing this letter. I will miss seeing her in the early morning before I leave for work each day. The good news for somebody else out there who needs the sort of home care support that she has provided for my family is that her skills and kindness will now be available to them. I hope that that person or those persons who benefit in this way will take note of the fact that they have a very special person working in their home. And you can be sure that, if for any reason I need the help of A Better Solution, Inc. in the future, I will be asking for Maria Elena again.
Please feel completely free to use my name as a reference if asked for…..
Thank you.
Sincerely,
David A. Mosen

Hello Denise :
I wanted to write you about NiNi’s care for my Mom, Carla Middleton.
Her attentive and intuitive care have really made a huge contribution in the management of both my Mom’s care and the maintenance of a smooth running house hold. She’s smart, pro- active a delight be with!
We have had many care givers in and out of here and I can honestly say that Nini’s performance is exemplary as she always shows up with a ‘Can Do’ attitude and eager to get things done.
Care Givers such as Nini should be honored, acknowledged and paid well.
Having had many employees who just fill space or do the minimum, Nini is
by far, the most attentive and kind professional I’ve met so far.
Plaese note you’ve got a good professional working for you and I would do
everything in power to retain her and use her as a model for all those you hire.
Kindly,
Kate Glenn

In November of 2009, I engaged A Better Solution to provide me with two
weeks of post – surgical home care. Form the minute Diana Young hit my
front door for her interview with me, I knew that I had connected with a
humane company that was a cut above all the others. It wasn’t that their
rates were reasonable, which they were, it was that she was so thoroughly
professional in explaining her company’ s services, so thorough, so interested in
what my needs were. She answered a jillion questions with ease and candor.
Compared to all the other presentations I received that day, hers
was head and shoulders above the rest.
Then when my first caregiver arrived I was rewarded with all I could wish for, and more. I had requested someone kind, and clean, and smart. I got that and much more, experience and knowledge, plus the uncanny ability to anticipate my needs. I am so thankful. My second caregiver had a different personality but was equally caring and capable. She instinctively knew when to encourage me in my exercise regimen, and when to let
me be. She gave me privacy and yet was there if I needed companonship.
I have been so fortunate to have connected with A Better solution and their caregivers, and I cannot praise them enough. I would recommend this compnay to the world without hesitation. (And I am picky!)

Christine Hidalgo has worked as a caregiver in home since January 2002.
During that time she has not only taken excellent care of my 92 -year -old wheel chair bound mother, but has become a member of the family.
She has been exceedingly reliable and missed very few workdays.
On a couple of occasions when she had to leave town on family business, she was very conscientious about getting a temporary replacement to cover her. It did not become our problem.
She has been alert to little things to for my mother – writing letters,
personal care suggestions, etc, Additionally. she has always looked for extra ways to help around the house when my mother did not need her full attention.
Finally, we are a family with several pets and Christine has become one
of the few people I would trust to care for them.
I praise her highly and would be happy to be contacted for a more personal reference.
Sincerely.

I would like to put in writing how pleased we are with Maria Flores and care of Joan.
My mother can be challenging with her set ways, emotional worries and scowling face if she doesn’t like something or someone. We, the family, have been targeted with the same scowl as any caregiver might have experienced. We know how difficult can be, especially with a new person.
Maria has been able to get Joan out of her slight depression with her loving and caring ways. She has been calm and became a true friend for Joan. Her cooking is fabulous. She has been very conscientious with the different skin disorders my mom has along with preventing bedsores.
We will miss maria while she is off on her wedding trip but we are happy for her. |

Thank you for all you effort and time in helping my dad stay home during the last year of his life. My family could enjoy their time visiting with him knowing he had care during their absences from the house.
We especially appreciate the care and patience of the drivers Mr. Allen and Diana, and the daily caregivers such as Joseph. I always felt I could call any time of day or night and I would get personal response from Diana. She was always courteous, kind and patient with my questions and concerns.
In addition, Diana has been incredibly helpful from Day One. We felt comfortable from our first meeting, needing guidance and reassurance that everything could be okay. We never heard about what couldn’t
be done, but relaxed when we realized Diana would arrange everything that needed to be done: personal care, transportation, medical support, groceries, pharmaceuticals and a personal relationship when we felt there was an issue that needed intervention, quick attention was given
to the concern.
Finally, the office staff was always considerate, polite and helpful and handled our paperwork and numerous phone calls in a truly professional manner.
Thank you. We didn’t have to worry about the care Dad received : we could relax and just worry about Dad! He was treated with the respect due to someone who his life well and gave to the community.
Signed,
John Burress

I am pleased to give my highest recommendation for Jenifer Wilder; from the beginning she has been a great employee for my family. Se was attending to Mr. W.P. Gentry my 87 year old live in grandfather.
Her primary duty was making sure he had all he needed to be comfortable. She not only made sure his medical needs where addressed, but she volunteered numerous hours taking him too many medical appointments.
Jenifer was always willing to offer a helping hand; on her days off she would contact us, with concerns of Mr. Gentry. She has moved from the family employee to a much appreciated addition to the family. When the time was coming for Mr. Gentry to enter a home l felt a great lost as she would not be here when we return from work, furthermore Mr. Gentry was very happy and glad to have her as his caregiver.
Honesty, trust, and reliability are words of how my family would define and felt when Jenifer was around.

Hello,
Just wanted to say how wonderful it has been to have Jennifer Cline for my mom’s constant caregiver over the past several years. She is a blessing to us, as Mom is very comfortable in her care and enjoys her help and company each day. This is the year that Mom’s long-term care policy will run out of benefits. It may not be possible to afford home care through an agency when that happens. We’ve been blessed that Mom planned so well for her needs in her se nior years. It’s very sad that she
developed the Alzeheimer’s – she was such an active person up until then! We’re looking at every way possible to stay with A Better Solution so we can keep Jennifer and Mom together when the insurance ends. I’ll be contacting them soon for an update on her benefits left. I’ll keep you posted. I don’t want to have to hire someone who doesn’t belong to an
Agency (the mere thought of losing Jennifer upsets us all), but sadly that may be the way we have to go.
Thank you for being there for us through these difficult years.
