She never gave up hope and truly believed that our client could achieve her goal. It was one of her memorable experience with one of our clients that she would always cherish. When our client had a previous fall prior to our service started, she was determined to walk again after finding out that she would be in a wheelchair.

Chermain had shown her compassion to all of our clients she was assigned with. She is caring and empathetic, and knew what our clients have been through ordeals, challenges, and difficulties in life. Making a big difference to others and fulfilling their goals are the ones Chermain enjoyed most about her role as a caregiver, especially those ones who are unable to care for themselves. She loves being with seniors and enjoys being around with them. The daughter of our previous client commented that, “we were very pleased with Chermain. She was great, kind, patient, and good with mom.”
