Parkinson's Disease Caregivers in Wellsville - 11 caregivers found

I have five years experience as a Home Health Aide, and am currently in school to obtain my LPN. I have experience with hospice care, and volunteer at the Hart Comfort House whenever I can. I try not to take myself too seriously, and consider any shift where I can make my client laugh or smile to be a success.

As a Candystriper many years ago, I gravitated toward the elderly. As a nursing student (I didn't not complete), I found that it was the elderly that needed that one-on-one, extra time spent, relationship. While in college, I provided home care/companion care, and have on and off for the past 35+ years. I've had a myriad of clients with different concerns and at various stages of health. I spent two days w/my father-in-law while he was in hospice, and was present at his passing, calling TOD. I enjoy doing for others, providing them w/care and companionship while allowing family members to take a much-needed break. An "achievement" that I'm most proud of is giving a client back some semblance of pride. Though she suffered from dementia, she could still communicate and read. Her abject fear was to be alone and trapped. I made a sign that was at the foot of her bed that reminded her that she was never alone and that someone was always there. The sign had velcro dots, and each caregiver had a small sign w/their name on it that could be affixed for their shift. She was able to call us by name when she became panicked, fearing that she was alone (even though someone was always in the next room). When she sat at the dining room table eating her meal and because she didn't have the strength to push herself away from the table, she would fret that she was trapped and couldn't relax enough to enjoy her meal. I made a little tent card that had a picture of a dining table and chair, and it said "you have the power to move back from the table because we will help you". Both signs made a huge difference in her life...something so simple, yet so powerful.

Hello! My name is Brittany and I've been a CNA for 7 years now. I have experience in hospitals, long term care, home care, and travel healthcare. I have a passion for people. I love making people laugh and spending time with them. I love care giving because it gives me a sense of achievement when I've made the persons day and knowing that I'm able to help them in any ways I can. I enjoy meeting new people and learning new things about them and using those learned things to use in the plan of care. I always strive for excellence in anything that I do. If I don't do a good job I figure out a way to do better! One personal achievement I am proud of that I am young and I've achieved many goals I have set for myself in the last couple years!

My name is Tosha, and I have been an LPN for almost 10 years. As a nurse, some of my personality traits that help me excel in this role are empathy, patience, and attentiveness. I genuinely care about others and enjoy providing support to those in need. What attracted me to being a nurse was the opportunity to make a positive impact on someone's life. Being able to help others and provide them with comfort and care brings me a sense of fulfillment and purpose. One of the things I enjoy most about being a nurse is the meaningful connections I form with the individuals I care for. Building trust and being there for them during challenging times is incredibly rewarding. As for a personal achievement I'm proud of, I once helped a patient regain their independence after a serious injury. It took a lot of dedication and hard work, but seeing them regain their confidence and achieve their goals was truly gratifying.

I am a very caring and lovable person. I enjoy helping others the best that i possibly can. When i was younger I use to go to work with my step mom who was a CNA and i enjoyed being able to make a diffrrence in the residents lifes. The thing I enjoy the most about being a caregiver, is that i actually get to take time out of my day to meet new people and put a smile on others faces. I am most proud of the fact that i get to wake up knowing I am being the best mom I can be and also being the vest CNA that I Can be.

Caring, compassionate certified nursing assistant. Have worked 6 years as a cna. It is a very rewarding career.

Being a care giver is one of the hardest yet satisfying thing I've ever done in my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything

I truly enjoy being around the elderly I grew up with my grandma living with me with Alzheimer's as a child and I always wanted to help in anyway I could. Taking care of people is truly something from your heart. I like to help make a difference in their life to reassure them everything will be ok.

1. Compassion 2. My son he was born early and has mild autism. 3. Making a difference in someone else's life. 4. Seeing I can make a difference in someone's life.

I am self driven self motivated, strong interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills. I find caring for others very satisfying and fulfilling. I have a reputation for excellence and high quality service for my residents and family members. Highly creative and innovated; willing to learn skills and techniques. My favorite part of being a care giver is helping the people feel safe secure and cared for, and allowing the families to find peace and happiness knowing I can take some of the responsibility off their shoulders. I am most proud of the diverse levels of care I have learned from companionship to hospice care.
