"Shani’s services have helped our family immensely. Since I live 700 miles away and only get to Steamboat every other month, Shani is our “eyes and ears.” She takes wonderful care of my 90-year-old mother. She checks my mother out physically from head to toe twice weekly, applies lotion to her dry skin every visit, walks her to provide some physical therapy, and so forth. She even took my mom to the doctor for me when I couldn’t. Now that we have hired Shani, I truly have peace of mind."
