Palliative Care Caregivers in Oakhurst - 4 caregivers found

I went into Chiropractic because I wanted to share knowledge with people that I had gained over the years pertaining to natural healing. When my father died, and being an only child, I knew my mother would sooner or later need my help. I lived with her in her apartment for 9 years, preparing all the healthy food she preferred. I did the cleaning, the laundry and some of the bathing, driving her to Fresno to medical appointments. I have a friend right now who is becoming disabled. I bring him food, make fresh juices, and will soon take himbto town for cataract surgery.

When I was 19 I got my CNA certificate and I realized that my passion was helping others especially senior citizens. I ran a child care for six years from 1994 until 2000. I worked for the county of San Luis Obispo as an addiction specialist through my internship for college and was hired as a paid intern at the same time I was also a caregiver. My last client I cared for had a tube feeding and ended up going into a senior home in September I've worked with a quadriplegic and I've worked for hospice care, palliative care, and I've also worked in facilities in the beginning of my licensing but ended up going independently through a referral service for home care in 2008. I feel Home Care is a better quality of care and because of that I became an independent contractor.

I am compassionate and a good listener. I am physically strong and self confident. I allow people to be themselves and don't push unless it's appropriate. I am patient and kind and I keep a home clean and tidy. I enjoy bringing positive energy into a situation and try to always look at the bright side, keeping in mind that sometimes people just need to feel their sadness or grief. I enjoy cooking and providing healthy meals as well as delicious snacks. I'm happy to help with plant care and pets. I enjoy getting to know clients and their families and giving them the assurance that their loved one is getting the best of care.

A SMILE. A HUG. A FRIEND My goal is to be there for your loved one and family when help is needed the most. It is important to bring joy and peace to those who are going through various stages of illness including hospice. I can provide the calm and compassionate care that is needed for people with mild to advanced memory issues. Am committed to caring for those with physical, emotional and mental limitations. Am there to encourage and help them reach these goals however large or small they may be. My ability to do these things were achieved through the experience and knowledge gained in nursing school and working in a skilled nursing facility. I am a licensed Home Care Aid and received my CNA certificate and graduated from Nursing Assistant Training Academy in Fresno, CA. Also Red Cross trained in CPR. My purpose is to lessen the pain, uncertainty and fear we have all felt when our loved ones are suffering. It would be a privilege to serve you and your family in this capacity.
