Donna’s Bio
Dear Loved Ones:
I have the experience to care for those in need of special care & companionship. I have cared for my brother while he was recuperating from a diabetic surgery. Got through that and he had a stroke in my home. He remained in the hospital in the ICU for a month with 3 Brain Bleeds and a Brain Clot. They released him into my care. He lived with me for another year while I cared for him. He is now living independently and under a Doctors care.
I have been caring for a lovely lady in her late 50's that sadly had a stroke.

To Whom It May Concern:
It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Donna Painter. My wife suffered a stroke during a surgery in 2021 and was left partially disabled. We met Donna via a Zoom interview to see if she would be a good fit as a caregiver for my wife. Not only has she been a great caregiver, but
my wife also now views her as a friend. Over the last years, Donna has spent working with my wife, she has provided her with much-needed companionship and conversation, medication support, help with bathing, dressing, preparing, and serving meals. She took my wife on outings for nail/hair appointments and lunches, to allow her to get fresh air regularly and try to bring some semblance of normalcy back to her life In addition Donna drove my wife to TIRR Memorial Hermann for Therapy as well as numerous physician appointments. After each appointment she was able to effectively communicate any required treatment plans for me to follow-up on. Further, when at home, Donna proactively helped my wife with therapy exercises as required by her Physical Therapists. In addition to my wife, Donna has been a blessing to me. My prior caregiver was never punctual with her work hours. She missed numerous days for sick and personal issues. And most significantly my wife fell four times while in my previous caregiver's supervision. Not only has Donna been on time, but arriving early on a regular basis, was sick only one day and my wife has never fallen under her care.
In conclusion, I recommend Donna for a caregiver position without reservation. I believe that she is
completely capable of providing exceptional care, both on a physical and emotional level. She is
also an honest and diligent lady who is passionate to help others. If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me by phone or email.
Sincerely,
Mark B.
