Our Mom so enjoyed and so looked forward to her time with Audrey, Lou Lann and Alisa-and to Kellie for her genuineness of heart and kindness in the countless times she spoke with our Mom, and to Keri for being most gracious and kind in coordinating everything. All of you were part of our extended family as well. All our continued best to you Lorrie and your Caring Team for making a wonderful difference in

I'm a caregiver for Keeping Good Company, and this has been the best place to work as I'm studying nursing at MU. Lorrie, Kellie, and Keri are so great to work with and have been very accommodating with my schedule and with new clients. Lorrie welcomed me back with open arms when I took a break from work, Keri is always there to prepare me for and introduce me to a new client, and Kellie is just the best at making sure my schedule works for me regardless of the conflicts I may have with school. I don't like thinking about it, but I am truly going to miss this company and my clients SO much when

Abagail from Keeping Good Company has been caring for me in my home a few days a week for quite some time. Abby always arrived promptly and took very good care of me. I especially liked that she was very neat and organized. She has become a good friend and I will miss her. I also recognize the time and effort that KGC has put into making sure their customers and employees stay well during the Coronavirus. My family and I appreciate KGC very much - Thank You!!
