As a caregiver in the Memory Care Unit at Aegis Corte Madera, I provide compassionate support to residents living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia during both morning and evening shifts. My responsibilities include assisting with personal care routines such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and meal assistance, while ensuring residents' dignity and comfort. I help facilitate daily activities that promote engagement, social connection, and cognitive stimulation, and I closely monitor residents' well-being, reporting any changes to nursing staff.
