Helen Lee

I have been taking care of my mom, along with my oldest daughter who stays at home to help. I clean bathroom, and vacuum. I wash dishes. Mom is not allowed to cook due to being on non stop oxygen. She also had fall and broke arm, wrist and leg so when she healed it has limited her movement. She uses walker and is unsteady so I walk with her. She takes sponge baths since she can not tolerate going without oxygen in shower, plus water hurts her. I make sure her daily medication is taken. I usually stay up most of night since she tends to fall out bed even with rails.

I majored in Social Work and have had a wonderful 27 year career of working with children, adolescents and the aging. I have worked at UVA hospital where I gained insight into the importance of maintaining good health and how devastating a disease or accident is on one's health and life. I have worked for department of social services and assisted the aging with receiving the services needed to remain in their home or to move into a facility. At this time, I am doing "hands on" care in people's home to assist them with various activities of daily living. My mother was bedridden for many years and I was one of her primary caregivers. I know the burden on family when caring for a loved one and the importance of support. My grandfather lived to be 96 and I was there for him to assist with shopping, meal prep, housekeeping, medication reminders and transportation. I cherish the times that I spent with my mother and grandfather caring for them. I also cherish the support I received from others.

I am 54 years old and will be married for 18 years on May 26th. I am mother of 2 boys and 1 girl. I have two grandchildren; one boy whose 4 years old and a granddaughter who is 3 years old. I've work most of my life in the office environment since graduating high school. I recently transitioned to caregiving for seniors a couple of years ago and I love it. I love working with seniors because they have so much insight on this journey called life. I've learned so much about patience and kindness from them. I've also learned how important it is to listen. They're just really cool individuals who wants love and affection. I like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day a little better. I hope that when I get older, someone like myself will be there to help me if I need help.
