She's a great home care aide for my dad. Finally, he's cooperative and smiling again. He has mild dementia and is in a wheelchair after a severe car accident, along with other ailments. She's really amazing with him, which is wonderful to see and so much easier on everyone. He's really bonded with her, and I think he may even have a crush on her.  <a href="http://seniorsadvocate.wordpress.com/2012/01/03/an-in-home-aide-can-make-all-the-difference-but-not-if-anyone-becomes-jealous-or-uncomfortable-how-to-help-a-spouse-whos-jealous-of-a-care-aide/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=seniorsadvocate.wordpress.com&amp;blog=14432210&amp;post=604&amp;subd=seniorsadvocate&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
