About Telena

I began caregiving for my grandmother. Alzheimer's and the methods to combat it became a passion quickly. I like to find routine, however, the ability to alter routine and identify unsuccessful tactic is another strong point. I thrive upon being the hope when the medical world deems there is none. I prefer natural and homeopathic answers, although I do not expect my methods to be adopted by all. I try to look at each situation from all perspectives. What matters most it the happiness and enjoyment experienced by my patients. What ever makes a person smile, it's deserved.
