I feel compelled to write and thank Comfort Keepers of Flemington (NJ) for the compassionate home care we received from them during the last few weeks of my mother's life. I couldn't have asked for better home health aides than Ria, Nancy and Mary. My mother found Ria's presence soothing and looked forward to spending the day with her. Before getting sick, my mother loved to cook, and would always make me a loaf of banana bread when I visited. When Nancy heard about our tradition, she offered to bake a loaf for us using my mother's recipe. My mother described the bread as "delicious," and it was practically the last thing she ate. I can't tell you how much it meant to me to share my mother's banana bread with her one last time. Finally, as I was becoming overwhelmed with caring for my mother alone, the overnight aide (Mary) you sent for her the last night at home was superb. I could tell the moment she walked in the door that I could completely entrust my mother to her for the night.

Every time we spoke throughout this process, you were always patient and understanding. You are providing a wonderful service in a loving way and I wish you and all of your caregivers the best. Thank you.
