I have provided loving care to individuals who can not care for themselves for the past 10 years. Services may be required for long-term care or for short-term recovery. Taking vital signs and assisting with medication are only part of the responsibilities. My duties varied based on the needs of the individual being cared for. They included, but not limited to, assistance getting in and out of bed, to the restroom or diaper changes, bathing, dressing, feeding, cooking, and providing companionship. Often my patients totally relied on me for social interaction, and in some cases, a time to get out of the house. Although the level of housekeeping varies from client to client, some housekeeping, like dusting, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms and kitchen areas are usually part of the job. I was often an important link between the family members and the medical team of the client. I worked in various settings including a client's home, at hospital ICU's, and a rehabilitation facility. I've been a caregiver for a paraplegic young man for the past year. Performing the MACE and Mitrofanoff procedure. Treatment of skin irritations and open wounds. Knowledgeable in use of sling and Electronic Lift to move my patient to chair and into baths. Maintain confidentiality of all patient information as per policies. Participate in all staff meetings to maintain quality of services. Manage completion of various caregiver notes for each visit. Analyze client requirements for nutritional needs. Maintain neat and clean area to ensure control of all infections. Please consider my application for the expert care you are requesting. Sincerely, Sandy Reiff
