About Susan

I've always been a caregiver in various ways, starting with my grandfather after my grandmother died. I live with my daughter and granddaughter in a beautiful home in northwest Phoenix near Glendale. During my career in healthcare I worked with Cardiac, CHF and COPD patients, not on a clinical level but I certainly know a lot about their needs having worked with them for 13 years. In 2014 I cared for 2 clients, one dying from age related causes and another from Conjestve Heart Failure. In the latter case, I worked with Hospice. In 2015 I began working with Senior Helpers. For the last year I worked through Senior Helpers I was part of a team of caregivers providing 24 hour care 7 days a week for an aging and declining client. I worked with Hospice until this client passed. Then I worked with two terminally ill cancer patients, again working with Hospice until they passed. In February 2017 I began working through Carelinx caring for an older woman with Alzheimer's. I am still currently caring for this wonderful lady 1 evening a week. I am also willing to act as a substitute caregiver when a regular is sick or on vacation. Call me whenever you need help and I'll try to be there for you!

Cardiac Rehab Administrative Assistant

Dec 1991 - Jul 2005
Sharp Memorial Hospital
My job was mainly a desk job but in my 13 years I worked with both Cardiac and COPD patients daily. I exercised with them regularly in my off hours. I was responsible for admitting them to our program, creating their files, updating their files and for billing. I also coordinated our monthly COPD meetings insuring we had a speaker each month and volunteering my services to create Holiday parties with take home goodies and gifts each for members of each group. I cared very much about each of our many patients and they cared about me. During my time at Sharp I always had my CPR card up to date. In the past two years I have cared for two friends who were ill and dying from home care to hospice until their passing.

Four years ago I retired from nursing. Recently, I moved to Phoenix Arizona to be near family. I have one married daughter in Phoenix where I presently reside, and another married daughter in Peoria. My daughter and son-in-law in Peoria have one daughter and are currently expecting their second child. Prior to moving here, my most recent pertinent work experience was as a homecare non-medical provider to an senior woman in her Kansas home. Though hired as "non-medical care provider" much of my assistance with this woman did revolve around her medical needs as she was an end-stage cancer patient, as well as diabetic. I helped manage her medication schedule, transportation and ensuring she went to medical/doctor appointments. I also monitored her daily health needs such as blood pressure, blood sugars, etc. I would like to care for you or a loved one in your home, and assist you with some of your care needs. I am willing to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparations, exercise/physical therapy programs, transportation and occasional errands or grocery shopping. I enjoy reading, baking, music, walking and spending time outdoors, as well as spending time with my family. I would be delighted to come work for you! --Freida McMahon
