Companion Client Testimonials

"I no longer drive because of a shattered knee. Thanks to my companion, I had an enjoyable winter. She's my driver, my shopper and now, my friend. On the days she comes to my home, we go to the doctor, supermarket and beauty parlor. If I can't get out of the car, she does my errands, and the entire time we talk and talk. Seeing my companion is the highlight of my week." - Joan McCormick - |

"My husband and I needed help. Going to the grocery store was difficult and used to take a couple of hours. I called the VNA, and now my companion handles the shopping and has the groceries puts away in an hour. She also does laundry, cooks dinner, bakes, and is anxious to do anything she can to assist us. VNA's companion service has been a big help to me and my husband." - Anne Clement- |
