About Donna

HI there. I seem to always remind people of someone else. I smile a LOT. And love conversation BUT... that does not mean I talk a LOT either. Some of my clients are more on the quiet side and I "go" with that. People are interesting. EVERYONE has a story to tell and of course, everyone's story is unique. Sometimes my client and I will go into the kitchen and cook or bake and some clients HATE to be in the kitchen. Do you love to take walks? How about drive around and "see the sights"? Ahhh... how about this--- a great game of Dominos? OK.. you don't like those? No problem. I love crafts... how about taking great pictures? Are you a camera buff? Can you sing? Play a musical instrument? I was a piano and french horn major in college. Well.. maybe you are more of a reader. OH YES! I love to read! One of my favorite hobbies -- love to read especially Reader's Digest or.. how about this one, "This Ole House".. or a gardening book? You love animals? So do I. Maybe you need a haircut. I have cut my client's hair because they can't get out. Just in case you are wondering....... no.... never have done that for a living-was never trained in that profession but just watching others do it and I love to learn new things. Right now, reading a how-to book... on plumbing. So.. is there anything your are interested in learning? Never too old to learn new things.

Home Instead Senior Care
I have taken care of a 79 year old female since August, 2019, 4 hour shifts from 3 -5 days per week. My main duties are---cooking her meals for "now" or "later" and having to follow her "verbal" recipes most of the time; cleaning up the kitchen after I cook/bake; watching for expired food in the refrigerator; doing her laundry - changing linens on her bed; assisting her as she ambulates; maintaining her oxygen condenser- cleaning it and changing the water as needed. Feeding and giving water to her dog. Dog does NOT go outside but uses pads on the floor and I pick those up once they are soiled. Getting her mail; medication reminders; making sure she has done her blood pressure, blood sugar and taken her lunch pills. Notifying her daughter every day of her mother's condition. and keeping her abreast of any changes especially when it comes to pain. Also calling hospice with any changes.

I love being a caregiver because I enjoy the getting to know my clients one on one on a personal level. I love hearing their stories and I feel like I'm making a difference in their life. I've gone to college for other things but this is where my heart leads me.
