To whom it may concern;

This is a letter in support of Kristan Paolacci.  She was a caregiver for my grandparents from August 2009 until February 2011.  Her duties included: supervising my grandparent's daily routines, managing their medications, food preparation and feeding, light housekeeping, transferring my grandmother from chair to bed and to the bedside commode, toileting, and bathing. 

My grandmother was totally dependent and required complete assistance with all ADLs.  My grandfather needed constant supervision for ambulation.  Kristan performed her duties well and with wonderful compassion and love.  I had complete trust in her abilities to take care them without worry.  Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away and my grandfather has been moved to a group home and is on hospice, and her services are no longer needed.

Kristan would be an asset to any family or organization.  She works hard and has pride in her work.  She also has a heart of gold, and generally loves the people she serves.  I support her 100%, and if you need any additional information, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Teale-Sanchez, MS, CCC-SLP
