Carter's Caring Services has provided round-the-clock care for our 95-year old Mother, following a series of strokes she suffered in September, 2017. Karen and her team have been reliable, professional, and caring ever since the first day: my siblings and I have never had to worry about mom's care. The caregivers coordinate Mom's schedule with us and drive her to appointments and social events, take care of household tasks, support and encourage compliance with the exercise regimen, follow safety precautions, and stay in regular contact with us. They encourage our Mother's desire for independence while helping her understand the limitations caused by the stroke and how the little steps can lead to progress. Karen and her team discuss any concerns with us openly and are always willing to pitch in when Mom needs something extra. When issues and conflict arise, which is perfectly natural given my Mother's condition, Karen and the team are always willing to talk, agree on a solution, and follow through. Karen, being an experienced nurse, has helped Mom and us notice slight changes in Mom's health and respond appropriately. In concert with Mom's physicians, she is always willing to listen, explain, and give us the information we need to make difficult medical decisions about Mom's care.
