About Elizabeth

I have been a caregiver all my life. It is rewarding but has its challenges and opportunities. I am 56 years old but I am in good health and I have cared for my parents and my spouses parents also I have cared for my spouse. These things include tuberculosis coughing, my dad but he passed away from a blood clot passing through his leg,my mother had cancer, my father in law had dementia and alzheimer's and parkinson, my step dad was burned and I cared for him with 3rd degree burn but I did not change his bandages, schizophrenia was what my mother in law had and my spouse had colon leakage and had a colostomy which I helped care for him until it was reversed he was diagnosed with diverticular The parents have passed which I was the primary care provider. I started getting paid when my girlfriend ask me to care for one of her patients because her and her mother had something they had to do one weekend and I got paid for it and I have been doing it ever since. I have had great satisfaction in the result of my experiences in taking care of the persons that were trusted in my care. I have sit and watched an IV drip and make sure the patient was comfortable. I have cared for a man that his wife needed a break for the weekend so she could get some rest. I have taken care of a comatose patient so the mother could go get her hair done. I have achieved and I am proud of me because I am a caregiver and I have love and compassion for people.

    Hi, I'm Renota. I am a Certified Home Health Assistant of 20 years. I have 30 plus years experience in elderly and senior care. I started out in a nursing facility in 1989. While there, we were taught to care for total care (bed patients) as well as independent living, and high risk patients. I am very passionate about the care others because solely, I am responsible for their physical, mental and spiritual care, and I take pride in serving others. I've learned so much from the people I've worked with, and hopefully they've learned from me as well. What keeps me attracted to the care of others is the compassion I feel when I'm caring for the individuals I am with. I have a special spot in my heart for Alzheimer's became I am their eyes, ears, and their voice in this world, and I feel the need to be there for them. I am a very flexible individual as I enjoy working in my yard, therefore it makes it easy for me to assist with individuals that enjoy their yard as well, and also alleviates the fear of leaving your loved ones alone. I also enjoy pets, so there's never a problem with my being around them. I have worked well hand-in-hand with hospice care, and able to maintain records, monitor vitals, medicines and report progress to supervisor, physicians and or medical personnel as needed.
