My grandma had a massive stroke and Alli really put in a lot of personal touches in her care. She always was very bubbly and paid attention to small things to comfort her such as brushing her hair away from her eyes and speaking directly to her with a big smile. She really made a big impression and raised spirits whenever she entered the room.

My mother-in-law had a massive stroke, no response, no reactions at first, this was devastating to our family. Alli was attentive, patient, respectful of her and the family, as crazed as we got. The amazing thing was we'd talk to her, held her hand, and cried to have my mother-in-law be there. Alli walked in, talked with her and my mother-in-law looked at her and held her hand up for the first time, letting us know she was in there, trapped in her body, but was there and knew what was happening. This moment is something I'm sure Alli is used to, but one we'll never forget. With love and gratitude, thanks, Alli.
