I am a great care giver because I am loving, patient, understanding, fun , caring. I first started in the senior care fiend working for Brookdale senior care assisted living. I loved working for the company but had to move. Once I moved I started working with the in home companies which I find more rewarding because I see how the client is happier being in their own home rather then being in an assisted facility. I enjoy my work and feel rewarded because I walk away knowing I have made a difference in someone's life. Having the feeling of knowing I have made the loved ones relaxed knowing their loved one is being well taken care of. My biggest accomplishment is with my client who I work with now. When I started with her she was not able to do much of anything on her own because of her stroke and having no use of her left side . I have been able to get her more indecent to the point she is out of her wheel chair, able to do her ADLs own her own. The only thing she needs help with now is shower assistance . I have helped her become the woman she once was, and I feel blessed because of that.
