Alzheimer's Disease Caregivers in Northfield Falls - 8 caregivers found

When someone I am caring for is successful in achieving a goal, that spells success for everyone. I have believed that giving a handup to people who need one is why I'm here and spent most of my working life doing just that. I've been fortunate and believe in giving back, in brief I am client centered. Knowing that some people need a "life coach" to help them achieve a goal, that's what I do. I'm very proud to share a story about a young woman who met "the love of her life" on line. He was from another state, and between her guardian and myself we helped fill in the details and she got to take her first flight to meet her young man who now lives in Vermont and will someday become this young woman's husband.

I am a person sympathetic who loves people, likes working never calls off. I love people and I love giving my best to help people in need. Sharing my time with others. The recognition that I receive every time I work with a family or an agency. The love I give to my patient, this love we share with my patients

I believe that a personal trait that helps me be a great caregiver is my compassion, empathy, and love I have for my residents. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is making my residents laugh. A personal achievement I'm proud of is how much I've learned to soak up and love the little moments Life is short, lead with kindness and love.

My name is Rebecca or Becky for short. I became a care giver because I love how what I do, brings joy to clients and their families. My goal is to treat each client as if they were part of my own family and gove them the care and support they deserve. I am studying to be a nurse and have experience with veterans, memory care and many others.

I have always been very giving and nurturing by nature. Helping people has been my calling since a very young age. I find a great deal of satisfaction in making someone's life happier. Providing care to those in need is my passion.

I genuinely care about people of all ages and they are able to recognize my level of compassion right away. I have given care to several elderly people within the last few years, and I love to listen to their stories. They have wisdom that can only be gained by living a long life, so it is quite fascinating to me to learn from them by listening to them. Even though a few clients have been quite grumpy with other caregivers, I am often able to bring out their sense of humor by making it all about them--doing things they like and want to do. I have also worked with several disabled adults and children, so my degree in education comes in handy helping them learn new ways to do things. My background in psychology also comes in handy, because it gives me a way to understand the emotional ups and downs of being elderly and/or different abilities. I am also a very patient person when it comes to working with people with special needs. I do not automatically do things for my clients if they can do it for themselves, because often the task will allow them a form of physical therapy. I am very adept at giving praise and encouragement for keeping active and busy. I get as much out of being a caregiver as I do giving, because it helps me to feel good about myself.

I became a caregiver to share my respect for the elderly population by helping them to maintain respect and dignity in their later years. I want to help others to remain as independent and self sufficient as they can for as long as they can. I like to listen to the stories that my clients have to share. I like to help my clients to feel happy and to feel safe. An achievement that I am particularly proud of is knowing that a former client who became very special to me, was able to keep the relationships with her family and to mend the ones that she needed to mend.

Hi! To tell you a bit about my experience I have been a professional health care worker for over 16 years. My experience in healthcare motivated me to pursue my Associates in Nurse Education at NSCC from 2013-2015. In my care history, I have worked with a wide range of individuals with different needs such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, muscular dystrophy, aphasia, anxiety, depression, stroke. I can assist with medication, appointments, immobility, transfers, incontinence, bathing, dressing, bed sores, meal prep, companionship, and organization. I enjoy assisting clients in activities such as physical therapy, memory training exercises, mental awareness exercises, community activities and happy to drive to medical appointments as needed. I believe it is important to encourage my clients to do things that make them feel connected to what's going on around them, such as with hobbies they used to love, even if in a different form now. I have thoroughly enjoyed working in this field. I have created and maintained many strong professional relationships with my previous clients and their families. I would be glad to share my resume and glowing recommendations with you. Thank you, Chrissie W
