I became a caregiver 10 years ago when I saw the lack of care my great-grandmother was receiving at a nursing home. I set off and became a certified nursing assistant, certified caregiver and first aid along with CPR training. We brought my great-grandmother home and I took care of her for several months before she passed away. I know first hand how hard it is to care for a family member and how important it is for the caregiver of the family to take some time to themselves. I have worked in many different settings over the years, for a company, in a nursing home, hospice care, and privately. I have also worked with a wide range of different levels of care over the years. I am comfortable in most situations, bathing,brief changes, feeding, cooking, dressing, filling weekly pill reminders, transportation, companionship, casual outings to keep things different and fresh. I try and encourage people to do as much for themselves as they can, keeps them thinking and gives them a since of independence, a lot of the times they can do a lot for themselves and they just need a little encouragement and a feeling of security that someone is there to help if they need it. I have an interest in alzheimer's and dementia, I have taken several courses and classes of the years to help take care of people who are suffering from these diseases.I also have several years experience with both alzheimer's and dementia.
