Testimonials

Drop In

Leigha came and met Owen before she started her visits. We were gone for 5 days, and just knowing that a patient, caring and trusted caregiver would visit our home and check on Owen was a great relief. Owen has some special needs, and Leigha was the perfect person for the job!
