The last 3 1/2 years I have been taking care of four patients. Bob 94 with Alzheimer's needed comfort care, meals and toileting. At the same time Thelma 87 dementia patient recovering from a fall, comfort comfort, meals, managing home, meds, Dr appointments, bathing, dressing, cleaning, and shopping. When she passed I worked for her husband Ken 91. He had mobility problems, dementia. We spent 6 days a week together, many trips to the cemetery to see Thelma. I helped with showering, toileting, shopping, Dr appointments, manage meds. All aspects of running his home, garden, and chickens. I shopped, cooked 3 meals a day. Cleaned, ordered supplies for his care, sewed, and took him for hair cuts and lunch often. He became family to me. Lastly Eunice 88 slight dementia. I prepared meals, light cleaning, shopping, Dr appointments, manage meds, and helped with her sister who had mobility problems when she would come for extended visits. I have my Lifescan (background fingerprint) done, DMV printout, TB tested, CPR & First Aid Certified. I have been involved in Home Health Care for over 8 years. I am now available to begin a new journey with your loved one. I am patient compationate and understand how to love and care for the needs of others. My comments from my previous employers have always been excellent and I have a great relationship with the patients and those who hire me. I have brought patients their favorite meal when they haven't been able to get out for months. Samples of wood carvings for a hospice patient who use to be able to carve wood. Read their favorite books. Bring movies. I want them to know that they can be happy and have memories while they are sick and unable to do for themselves. I also know when to be quiet and give them some space or time alone. I would love the opportunity to speak with you about your needs. Thank you for your consideration.
