About Lelia

My name is Lelia but everyone calls me Lea. I'm a NCCDP Certified Dementia Practitioner and licensed NAI/CNA here in North Carolina. I am able to assist you by way of caring for your loved one when needed. In addition, my additional background as an Alzheimer's Association Community Educator adds to the whole person care approach. My schedule varies and may not currently correspond with your needs however I am flexible but if you are in need of time away to run errands, a date night or a maybe just a break I will be there. I know how challenging but yet still rewarding it is to be caregiver. I cared for my mother who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2021. My experience has covered the entire spectrum of dementia from the initial diagnosis to the transition. It has become my mission to steadily be engaged in the learning process while sharing results. I truly understand the need of balance and I have the personal skill set to assist. I'm looking to help others based upon availability as I know personally how it feels to have a loved one who requires specific care that includes but is not limited to: Eye contact & focus Non-Verbal communication Gestures & Touch Tone of Voice & Body Language

I love people and think we should all be treated with respect and kindness. I started caregiving due to the fact of both of my son's great-grandparents were diagnosed with dementia. I did not want them to be placed in a home or separated. Then after both of them passed away, I sadly went back to my wrecker service. Worked only two weeks and decided this is not what God wants me to do. So I went to work for Kelly's assisted living as an on-call coordinator and doing PCA work during the day. Then Mr Hartman came into my life he suffered from MS completely quadriplegic I was told I would be lucky if he lived 5 years. He became a father to me I kept him alive with the grace of God for over 20 years. He was a very large man that was bed bound but everybody was amazed that he only had one bed sore the entire time I took care of him. I do not have a problem with any pets and helping take care of them. I also will help your loved one with grocery shopping all ADLs and housekeeping.I love to make people smile. I have a quirky sense of humor. I also worked in a facility under memory Care. I just hope as I age someone will care for me as I have cared for the people in my life. With compassion, love, kindness and understanding. Thank you for considering me to care for your loved one. [?]
