Esther and her sister cared for my Mother for the last five years of her life(she was 97 when she died). Esther was exemplary - caring, attentive, reliable and, importantly, patient and sensitive; she undertook all tasks, some bathroom related, without complaint. We cannot praise her highly enough.
