What Our Client Says
I wholeheartedly recommend Denise Heiskell as a caregiver for elderly persons with
physical and cognitive deficiencies.
Denise cared for both of my elderly parents as a 24-hour in-home caregiver for nearly
four months as they prepared to transition into memory care and assisted living.
Throughout this period, many caregivers provided relief during Denise’s limited time off
and it is clear she was by far the most caring, diligent, and reliable of the group. Her
compassion, professionalism, and creativity made a lasting difference in our family’s
journey. Denise also acted as a teacher and mentor when other caregivers came in to
ensure top notch care.
Denise brought unique insight into caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
My dad has severe Alzheimer’s requiring constant and demanding care. Denise
responded not with frustration, but with gentle redirection and genuine affection. Her
empathy helped keep dad stable and engaged during a very difficult transition period.
My mom valued her independence, and Denise navigated their occasional differences
with compromise and emotional intelligence. She skillfully balanced encouragement
with respect, allowing Mom to maintain autonomy while meeting our care objectives.
Denise also built trusting relationships with our family members through daily
communication. She became not just a caregiver but a steady, reassuring presence.
As Denise starts her own company, we are entirely confident that her diligence, caring
attitude, and teaching and mentoring of other caregivers will ensure exceptional care for
people of varying needs. Her ability to meet people where they are—gently, respectfully,
and with purpose—is rare and invaluable.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
