Haven Hospice

As a staff nurse, I cared for mostly senior clients at a VA Medical Center for two years in Acute Care, Geriatric Rehabilitation, Nursing Home, and Palliative Care settings. I also have experience in long-term Acute Care and Hospice Care. I recently completed a two-year nursing and care-giving assignment for an elderly gentleman who had chronic and progressive neurological disease, diabetes, renal failure, cardiac issues, hemodialysis, and home peritoneal dialysis. I was with him nights, Monday through Friday, from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. My care-giving responsibilities included personal care, toileting, bathing, dressing, transfers, assisting with ambulation, driving to medical appointments and social activities, medication management and administration, meal preparation, eating and drinking assistance. I worked with a team of female caregivers in the household, providing comprehensive and personalized 24-hour care. The other caregivers are also currently available for work as a team providing superior care around the clock, or as otherwise needed. I naturally enjoy fostering caring and the therapeutic relationships. This is something I do naturally, something I have done all my life, something essential to who I am. My happiness comes through helping others be happy. I consider it a great privilege and sacred duty to be able to help people through some of the most difficult times of their lives. I am honored and grateful to do this work. I also have significant travel exp

I enjoy caring for others, I worked at hospice for 4 years. I have been working for Brooks rehabilitation for the last 5 years, I have always had a passion for helping others which is why I chose to become a cna. I have a wonderful 4 year old and I want to teach her to always follow her passions in life.

I became a caregiver because my parents became of age and health issues. Being able to help someone that can't perform their daily activities. Having compassion and being with the patient lets them know they'll be alright. I've been a CNA since 1993. I've worked in long term care and has Hospice experience as well. I'm very compassionate and love working with my patients.

I became a caregiver because I have always taken care of people, whether children or my grandmother. I love it, it has been a great 6 years. My personality and smile people like and I'm always asked to come back.
