I became a caregiver because one of my attributes is that I am great at anticipating needs. Home is also important to me & the people who make up this home would have a place in my heart. So each day, I'd be striving to provide a home-like environment while customizing each resident's individual special needs. My responsibilities in this 6-bed have included all ADL's: medication management, transfers (Hoyer lift), wound care, range-of motion, breathing treatments, incontenent care, fine cooking, feeding, salon care, daily housekeeping, laundry, dealing with hospice & family members, doing all documentation, ensuring safety & well-being of all residents, bathing, dressing, hygiene, escort residents to & from meals, reports, adhering to individual dietary restrictions, assisting residents with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, & other debilitating illnesses. Proudest achievement ... would have to be traveling to China as an English teacher. Hobbies ... quilting for a variety of charities.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
