I would like to commend Kamili for the amazing job she did as caregiver for my parents for almost two years. She started out supervising dad with his exercises and ended up taking care of just about everything for mom and dad. And she did it all with a smile. It was hard for my parents to accept that they needed help, but Kamili quickly won them over with her cheerful friendship and caring.
As she began to work more hours for mom and dad, she took care of more and more. She doesn’t like to sit and do nothing so she cleaned bathrooms and the kitchen, did laundry, cleaned floors, checked that meds were taken, made lunch, changed sheets, and went for walks with mom and dad. She and dad worked out a schedule of exercises and walking and, with her encouragement to walk just a bit farther each day, he was able to walk all the way to the dining room. That was something we didn’t think he would ever be able to do!
Mom has Alzheimer’s so she would occasionally be difficult to deal with and not want to do certain things. Kamili was so good at distracting mom and joking with her to get her in a better mood. Or sometimes she would just know to leave mom alone for awhile and try again later.
Kamili was always looking for fun things to do with mom. They would go for walks and see the garden or feed the fish at Ashcroft. She took mom to the library, to play bocce ball, and to the fitness center. Sometimes they just folded laundry because mom likes to help out with things. She was a fun companion. No matter what they did they were usually laughing!
Since I live out of state it was important for me to know my parents were getting good care when I couldn’t be there myself. I could not have found anyone better than Angel Companions and Kamili. She is honest, dependable, and so caring. She always kept in touch with me so I would know what was going on even if I wasn’t able to be there.
