About Deborah

I love surrounding people with care. I've learned how important compassion and acceptance is for Alzheimer's patients. Using gentle redirection. I've seen how a well-organized day that's flexible can help to reduce agitation. Showers can be scary for Seniors, instead of arguing, I focus on making it easy and fun. Using lots of warm towels also help. My personality is I don't meet strangers and I love everybody. I think my recent employer would say I was reliable and had a good sense of humor while caring for her Mom. I loved working with them for those three years.
