About Patricia

Caregiving is where my heart is. I've always enjoyed seniors. Although I worked in insurance claims for over 20 years, I've been a caregiver my entire life, it's my calling. In my 14 years of professional caregiving, I've worked consistently, never missing a day. I charge less than most caregivers, because I've been in your place, with many family members, and I understand what you're going through. I'm available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, ?and Thursday. I can cook, clean, provide companionship, personal care, medication reminders, and run errands. I'm honest, very caring, highly organized, reliable, patient and kind. I have worked extensively with dementia and Alzheimer's patients and people with many other medical conditions. I've cared for oxygen dependent, wheelchair bound, and hospice patients also. My resume and outstanding references are available upon your request. I look forward to hearing from you.

    It has been my privilege to lovingly care for elderly people with dementia, starting with my mother-in-law. I enjoy entering their world and showing them the dignity, respect and gentle care our elders should have. I have become the trusted companion of each person I’ve cared for, and have served several of them for years at a time. Support for the family of the person I am companion to is a special part of my ministry. I am currently a part-time seminary student and simply love people. My desire is to bring joy and wisdom in caregiving to those I serve.

    I am compassionate, kind and reliable. I understand the importance of seniors remaining in the home they love and worked hard for . I have worked in homecare but also in assisted living. In either setting it is important for a caregiver to remember the elderly need to be treated with respect and dignity.
