About Rebekah

For the past 26 years I have worked as either a PCA, CNA or Physical Therapist Assistant. I have a passion for seniors and love spending time with them! I am blessed with a special ability to bring out their smiles, stir on laughter, generate good conversation and build relationship. I am very patient with those I care for and am sensitive to meeting them wherever they are on their aging journey. I pride myself on going the extra mile and doing the little things that are meaningful to those I serve. Being that I have worked as a Physical Therapist Assistant, I have lots of experience with geriatric exercise and mobility and have the ability to motivate sedentary seniors to be more active. I feel movement and mobility is the key to seniors being able to stay in their own home for as long as possible. I am proud of the years of experience I have caring for seniors. I've gained a lot of knowledge which has been very useful in every aspect of caring for seniors and their family members too. I've always received positive feedback from those I've cared for and have had many repeat clients specifically ask for me due to the good relationship we've previously established.

I'm a great caregiver because I am very patient and a warm-hearted person, I always make sure my patient/resident is safe and that they are happy with their service. I started working as a caregiver really young at 15 with my great grandmother she was a diabetic and had Alzheimer's. After she passed away it made me realize that I loved my job and that I'd be a great caregiver. One of my personal biggest achievements was moving out of my parents house right after graduation into my own place.
