Isabella was born with Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome.
Her mom Ana is her primary caregiver, but balancing being a mom of 2 and 2 jobs? It took its toll.
That's when Ana learned about our respite services.
"That year was filled with uncertainty, heavy emotions and the constant fear that we might lose our daughter," says Ana. "During that time, my biggest concern about respite services was trust."
She wondered how someone coming into their home would adapt to their family dynamic, especially with a pr***en in the house and all the emotions the family carried.
The first time Ana saw how naturally the nurses cared for Isabella and how respectfully they treated her home, she felt something she hadn't felt in a long time: relief. The nurses were attentive, gentle, and aware of Ana's family as a whole.
"That was the moment I realized the respite care services were the right fit for us," says Ana.
