Dec 2008 - Dec 2011
Privare Care
I cared for my mother, live in, for three years. She had multiple health problems that I nursed her through including Alzheimers. My Mom went downhill slowly for three years and quickly at the end. Because of her pain and inability to walk, we had Hospice Care in the end. Even though I saved my Mom's life through chronic fungal pneumonia and other serious problems, I believe my biggest attribute was my companionship with her. I planned fun things each day to quell her depression. I also had to be very creative with meals as she had anorexia due to the Alzheimers. I am also very skilled in planning safety for Alzheimers patients. We had to install video cameras, alarms at house perimeters and a bed alarm. It is a skilled science to plan perfectly for each patient. Taking care of my Mom added many skills to my toolbox as a caregiver.

I cared for my mother during her declining years. It was the most valuable time in my life and I am so happy that I had those long days with her. You can contact any of my siblings to ask how I did. Just ask me and I'll provide their names and phone numbers.

I have been a care giver for over 30 years now. It started when I was 17 years old working in a neighborhood coffee shop that seniors dined at regularly. I would overhear them speaking of tasks they could not take care of around their house by themselves. That's when I started offering to come over after work to help them. Then sometimes a husband would come in without a wife or a wife without a husband and I would ask where the other one was, they would reply they were sick at home. I would then asked if I could do anything or check in on them and they really appreciated it. Eventually I gave up my job at the coffee shop and became a full time caregiver. I love working with people while it makes a difference in their life.
