Alzheimer's Disease Caregivers in Goochland County - 204 caregivers found

I majored in Social Work and have had a wonderful 27 year career of working with children, adolescents and the aging. I have worked at UVA hospital where I gained insight into the importance of maintaining good health and how devastating a disease or accident is on one's health and life. I have worked for department of social services and assisted the aging with receiving the services needed to remain in their home or to move into a facility. At this time, I am doing "hands on" care in people's home to assist them with various activities of daily living. My mother was bedridden for many years and I was one of her primary caregivers. I know the burden on family when caring for a loved one and the importance of support. My grandfather lived to be 96 and I was there for him to assist with shopping, meal prep, housekeeping, medication reminders and transportation. I cherish the times that I spent with my mother and grandfather caring for them. I also cherish the support I received from others.

Greetings! My name is Dana, and I reside in Louisa County, near Lake Anna. All of my previous positions have been either in customer service or helping others. In regards to caregiving, I have experience working with folks in a home setting where I have done things such as; help with toiletry, grooming, meal preparation, helping with mobility (getting in and out of bed), companionship ( I play a mean hand of Rummy), and some exercise (taking walks). I have previous work experience as a CPHT (Certified Pharmacy Technician) and I'm trained in medication management, I would have no problem with medication management. I also have work experience with neurological disorders, developmental disorders, mental illness, and ADLs- from early childhood and up.

My name is Alona been doing this for couple of years now as a caregiver and im enjoying helping elderly people.

My personality traits that help me be a great caregiver is my kindness good heart and helpful ways I'm always a easy going caregiver to get along with and I also have fun with my patients. What attracted me to be a caregiver was my my heart. Ever since I was little I always enjoyed helping people because when it was all said and done I felt good about my choices and that I did good deeds. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is that I get to make the clients happy and make them feel like their young again. My personal achievement that I'm proud of is is actually becoming a caregiver because I was always told that I would never be nothing and that I don't have what it takes and I proved them wrong because I went out and did it and completed what I set my mind to.

I am 54 years old and will be married for 18 years on May 26th. I am mother of 2 boys and 1 girl. I have two grandchildren; one boy whose 4 years old and a granddaughter who is 3 years old. I've work most of my life in the office environment since graduating high school. I recently transitioned to caregiving for seniors a couple of years ago and I love it. I love working with seniors because they have so much insight on this journey called life. I've learned so much about patience and kindness from them. I've also learned how important it is to listen. They're just really cool individuals who wants love and affection. I like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day a little better. I hope that when I get older, someone like myself will be there to help me if I need help.

I have been taking care of people for 12 years. I have both cna and nursing experience. Caregiving is not just a job for me, it is my passion. I love helping people. I believe that our seniors deserve to be treated like Kings and Queens, they have worked all their lives. I'm blessed to still have 3 grandmothers, 3 grandfathers and one great grandmother alive. I cherish every moment with them. Along with my passion to be a caregiver, I am a hard worker. I don't mind going the extra mile when needed.

I'm Caring, Compassionate, and Hard working. I became a caregiver when my Grand mother became ill. I wanted to give her the same care she gave us when my parents split. I always try to give a 110% and would do whatever it takes to make the clients feel as normal as possible. I've been a caregiver for over 20 years. My greatest accomplishment is to have taken courses for the L.P.N. curriculum. I want to make a difference in the lives I touch.
