I have excellent verbal and written communication. I believe in order to take care of a person there has to be a direct line of communication, strong communication skills is the most important thing for me. I have great astute observation skills. It is my dutie to observe the client's day-to-day physical and mental health. Since doctors and nurses can't be around their patients all the time, i tend to keep a keen eye on my clients and report even the slightest changes. I have the ability to follow set rules and protocol. I understand each senior care patient has a plan of care that must be executed by myself and the clients support team. The client's health and well-being is what's most important. I also have great time management and organizational skills. The most important skill I can bring to the table is my empathy and compassion. I feel these are vital qualities, and help me and the client to have an understanding.
