Report
Margaret Ramtahal and Paulette Blue were exceptional caregivers for my mother as she succumbed to ALS. Margaret and Paulette worked well together and were completely focused on Mom's needs, despite the fact that she was not always easy.
As testimony to the quality of their care, Mom did not suffer from even one bed sore or physical ailment beyond ALS symptoms, even though she was bedridden from the day they arrived.
I was really impressed that both Margaret and Paulette made a concerted effort to understand what Mom wanted, even though she couldn't speak and was quite demanding as the months
