About April

My best friend was my Grandmother. She lived with us when she couldn't be by herself anymore. Then it became too much on us we made her home in a local nursing home. Not only would I visit my grandmother but I got to know many other residents at the facility. My best friend passed away in 1994. I graduated high school in '95 and became a CNA in '96. Every person has a story and I like to hear it with my heart. I always say that I treat people the way I would like to be treated.

I started with the State of California taking certification classes to help someone needing double hip replacements and couldn't walk and was recovering from breast cancer. Today, she is a walking survivor! Next I joined Phoenix Health Care and took classes on immobile patients such as transferring and changing bedding. I was sent to several different situations including a hospice patient. My last position was with an elderly woman in her home that had several serious issues, one of which was COPD. It became a joyful experience when, after working with her diet and routines, that she actually became symptom free and actually wanted to participate in activities again. Caregiving became a lifestyle for me and I was honored to be able to help in any way that was needed because I could.
