TESTIMONIAL
"Angela is such a caring and loveable person to all she engages with. My mother has Alzheimer’s, and I am in awe when I see Angela engaged with her. She can reminisce with her and get a smile on her face. Angela can turn a frightening situation (thoughts or concerns) around for my mom in an instant just from saying some key phrase in a special way. Angela uses phrases of encouragement, reinforcement, reassurance, at the same time recognizing my mother’s limits. My mother and I are very lucky to have Angela providing care and guidance to both of us."
