Elderly Care for Igor Vadyunin
I want to compliment our caregiver, Shalonda McGill. She has been an absolute Godsend for Tom and our family. Shalonda began working two days a week for us in September of 2021. Later, in November, she moved to four days a week. Although this means we have to pay overtime for some of her hours, we are more than willing to do so because we feel that she is worth it. From day one, she has been a shining example of all of the attributes you would look for in a caregiver. She is dependable, patient, kind, attentive, and frankly I could go on and on. HE has Advanced Parkinson's Disease which has its unique set of challenges. One minute he may be in an "on" period where he is able to function somewhat and then the next minute he is in an "off" period where is unable to function much at all. Shalonda has learned this and has adapted her caregiving to match it. She is extremely compassionate and caring and he senses the empathy and good heart that she brings with her. He is very comfortable with her and she eases the emotional effects of his Parkinson's Disease. She is lighthearted and soft spoken which works very well with him. The Claiborne has activities for its residents each day. Of course, he is unable to participate in most of them. But Shalanda makes sure that she takes him to the ones he can participate in. This helps keep his socialization with others ongoing instead of making him feel isolated. Shalonda seems to sense what is going on with Tom and adapts accordingly. Needless to say, we have begun to think of Shalonda as an extension of our family. We could not be more pleased with her as a caregiver of our precious loved one. I just wanted to give you this report for her personnel file. Shalonda is a wonderful representative of your company. I'm so thankful that you sent her to us.
