About Flora

At age 52 after seeing how much help, compassion and empathy my parents needed in their later life, I decided to be a caregiver. I have enjoyed listening to clients reminiscing about their past wonderful life. I am ready to sympathize with them when they need someone to show empathy. I am ready to assist them achieve their activities of daily living like meal prep and eating, tooth brushing, bathing, and making sure they live in a clean and safe environment in their own homes. I can live in their homes and look after them, or spend hours with them, I can drive them to their doctor's appointments, hair salon and even to holidays if they require me to. I have been a CNA since I immigrated to the USA. During my first 10 years here, I worked as a CNA during the night and went to college during the day, took lots of classes, and finally graduated in Business Administration. I got a job in a county state office up North but I quit and returned to Nursing Assisting. I was married for 45 years, and divorced. I have 5 children and 15 grandchildren. I love assisting the elderly in their homes. Working with the elderly gives me such satisfaction in knowing what to expect sooner than later in life. I hope to live a healthy, happy, long life like some of my wonderful clients.

Home Instead

Sent to clients with ALS, MS, Alzheimer, Hospicessituations and plain longevity. My last client was 104 years- she was tired all the time but alert and helped me with cross word puzzles. All clients need extra care apart from the basic assistance in daily living. Some needed to be read to if they are blind, some need help in transferring into a wheelchair orwatching them walking, and moving things out of their way to prevent them from falling.

I have always cared about the failing & ailing, whether it be family, friend, neighbor, or referral. I am in Nursing school. I have also helped people solve personal problems; ie, helped a senior get back his social security $$ when someone else defrauded his account. I actively listen and encourage people to make their own choices.

I'm an honest, reliable, gentle person who enjoys making someone feel cared for. I used to work in an office, but felt a calling to work with seniors instead, and it was the best decision I could have made. I'm happy to help with housework, errands, cooking, pet care, personal care - whatever is needed. I can be good company, or I can stay out of the way, but I will always do my best to make you comfortable and happy.
