About ToriCa

I have over 15+ years caring for the elderly and those with disabilities. I understand and embrace the importance of having patience and compassion for the state of my patient's mental and physical status. I enjoy placing myself in the position to motivate and stimulate my clients with positive energy to help those hard days and promote long lasting good days. With knowing and experiencing Dementia on many different levels, I do understand the importance of knowing how to adapt and/or redirect stressful situations. I enjoy what I do. If I can help make a family member's load lighter, or patient comfortable and happy, I feel I have served my souls prepare..
