I have over 7 years of experience in at-home elder care, and I am passionate about the human right to access high quality care in our homes. I have provided care for elderly clients with extreme mobility challenges, and assisted them with daily occupational and physical therapy, in addition to bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and housework. I consistently received very positive feedback from both clients and their families, because of the undeniable improvement in their quality of life. When I first started working with a bedbound client, she had many bed sores, she experienced depression, and she was on track to enter hospice. After 3 months of working together on daily occupational therapy exercises, treating her bed sores rigorously, adapting new recipies to intrigue her appetite, and having daily fun together, she was transformed and no longer needed to enter hospice. It's not because of extreme mobility issues that people can't have comfortable, fulfilling lives where as much of their personal autonomy as possible is achieved with the support of quality caregivers. I bring empathy and compassion, effective communication, observational skills, problem-solving, attention to detail, and humor!
