About Joseph

I was a care giver for my wife while she was going through cancer treatments. I assisted her in daily chores such as cleaning, cooking, shopping, etc. I do not have any experience in helping the elderly. I retired in November of 2013 and returned to full-time employment as a Realtor in April of 2017. After returning to work as a Realtor I have decided not to continue. I need a job to supplement my income but I do not want to work a full-time job. I do want to help others that need assistance in living a good quality of life.

Retired and manage a private Encouragement Ministry for those with cancer and other serious illness

My wife was a three time cancer survivor and over the years designed and wrote over 70 cards of encouragement to those with cancer and other serious illness. My wife Linda passed away January 15, 2014, and I continue the ministry. Her dream was to publish a book of her writings but passed away before accomplishing her dream. In September of 2016 I self published her book, "It's Cancer ~ a 52 Week devotional from one pilgrim's personal encounters with God." The book has a five-star rating on Amazon.com. My website is www.ReflectingLightMinistry.com. Currently, the books are being distributed at The Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, and McCullough Hyde Memorial Hospital in Oxford, Ohio. The cards are available upon request and distributed at The Church of God in North Apollo, PA, The Church of Christ in Hamiton, Ohio, and the Ambassadors Church in Oxford, Ohio.

1994 to 1998/ As director I was responsible for providing foster care services to the various counties in Northwest Ohio. I coordinated a staff of 3 consultants/case managers that worked directly with foster youth, and an administrative assistant. I was responsible to oversee that the consultants’ reports were submitted in a timely manner to all referral agencies and that the treatment objectives for the foster youth were carried out. While leading and directing the program, I maintained a professional working relationship with licensing personnel from the Ohio Department of Human Services and judges and probation officers in various counties in Northwest Ohio. It was my responsibility to assure that the program remained solvent. I developed an annual business plan and budget, was a member of the administrative team, and a member of the personnel committee of the organization. Reason for Leaving: Due to a serious health issue with my wife I resigned with a severance package. I relocated to Oxford, Ohio to be closer to family members.

I started caregiving primarily as just a temporary way to make bills, but I have fallen in love with it. I truly appreciate the opportunity to care. To help people in the ways they need most. Getting to know patients is a joy and every day I look forward to going to work. Every person I care for is different, and so the bond is different, but a bond always forms. I have been humbled by how much seniors and their families truly appreciate and look forward to my help and presence. I have two and a half years of experience with an in-home agency as well as nursing homes. I look forward to placing my experience and training at the service of your family.
