Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Caregivers in Groveland - 2 caregivers found

Let me start by writing about what I know. No matter how much excellent medical and/or psychological care and loving support a person may receive, the person who is facing challenges inevitably feels fragile and experiences a crisis of confidence. Total care only begins at the bedside. The whole environment becomes part of the treatment plan, with a goal of encouraging the person remain engaged in the day to day decisions and activities that govern his or her life. The next thing I know is that, regardless of how smart I think I am, that person with challenges has his or her own agenda and will put every effort into achieving those goals. This deserves great respect. This requires negotiation. This requires a sense of humor. This requires open minds. This is what I know. And since every situation is different, there is no cookie cutter big enough to consider all the possibilities for care and support. Every case depends on intelligent decisions, patience, and cooperation. All laced with healthy doses of kindness.

I am available to help with laundry, cooking and driving to appointments. I have two vehicles that are insured and reliable. I am a honest, dependable and caring person who enjoys making someone day a great one! I became a caregiver because I enjoy working with people and making them feel their best while providing their dignity, independence and utilizing my experience to help people stay healthy, stay home and stay a person, not a number in a nursing home. I love living life and putting smiles on peoples faces! I have very strong letters of recommendations, including previous employers and from a Cardiac physician.
