Just a little note to thank you for your help in arranging for a caregiver for my parents. Eleanora is a lovely woman who gives excellent and loving care to my parents and she is a perfect fit for them. She is all the things which you described to us and more! Thank heavens for agencies such as yours…..I don’t know how we would have managed without you.
