My name is Lisa and I am extremely passionate about caring for and assisting individuals who cannot properly care for themselves, produce the best possible quality of life. I spent 10 years working in 2 different hospitals, caring for patients in a wide array of medical situations including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, quadriplegia/paralysis, stroke, hospice, and more. In addition, I spent more than 6 months providing home care to several patients, including a wonderful gentleman with MS (Multiple Sclerosis), who ended up becoming one of my best friends until the day he passed away. Beyond providing medical care to individuals with life-threatening or detrimental illnesses/handicaps, my heart really lies in making a deep connection with each person I come in contact with. People are scared when they're sick or not feeling well. I also understand that bringing a new caregiver into the home to care for your loved one, can cause a bit of fear or anxiety. Of course, everyone wants their loved one to receive the best possible care, and I will always go out of my way to make sure my patients are the #1 priority under my care. I promised myself to treat every single patient as if they were my family, my grandmother, grandfather, etc no matter how busy or hectic the hospital was. My patients always receive the same tender loving, unconditional compassion and attention that I would give to any of my family members, or even myself. Lastly, I believe in maintaining consistent and thorough communication with my patient's family members. Your needs are my concerns and your specific instructions are my priority. I will always make decisions that are in the best interest of my patients, however, the family knows their loved one the best, and I respect very much.
