Arclincia Cooke

I recommend Arclincia Cooke (Clincy) without reservation. She is an exceptional caregiver who cared for both my parents for a year and a half before they passed away. My father suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease and then a broken hip and my mom was very frail with dementia. Clincy is a warm, loving, and very capable caregiver whom the whole family, including my parents, came to love. As you know, when caring for the elderly, many difficult situations arise but Clincy is a problem solver who came up with many amazing solutions. She is honest and trustworthy, and we had no qualms about leaving her alone in our home with my parents and gave her total control of their care, knowing they were in the best hands. She managed to schedule and handling visits from nurses, social workers, aides, and other volunteers from Hospice along with ordering and dispensing medications. Clincy is also very responsible, punctual, and flexible. I don’t think there was anything that I ever asked her to do that she did not happily do. I credit her with keeping my mom’s spirits up after my father’s death with her upbeat and engaging personality. Anyone would be lucky to have her. Submitted by Linda Hobson 540-456-6812
