About JOHN

This is the recommendation from my x-wife --- This is what I have to live up to ! Gayle Rainbow I have known John P. for more than 50 years and can tell you that he is a dedicated and summarily reliable person who will leave no stone unturned in his determination to serve with 100% attention to your every care, with a level of integrity that is hard to find today. He brings intelligence, wit, humor and pure excellence to everything he does, beginning with showing up like clockwork, and carrying through with a degree of loyalty and concern that will both astonish and delight you. My first job was to care [ as volunteer] for an elderly woman with a stroke --- 24/7 for 1-1/2 years . She was initially convinced she had been abducted --- regularly screaming for release / banging on the walls. She was still cooperative, and needed full care [ ---- there was no assistance. She arrived from the hospital with an open sore on her heel -- healed that in 3 months [ to astonishment of physician ]. before family transferred her to a facility, she had advanced to daily walking exercise and oil painting -- completed 2 quite good paintings. I enjoy helping people --- and care giving staff has been the nicest people I have ever known.

Outside of raising six children, I've been a care giver for 26 years. I worked in children's ministry at a church four times a week for 18 years. I took care of my dad when he was dying from cancer. I served my Neighbor meals twice a day for several years. When he came down with cancer, his daughter hired me to take care of him while he was dying at the age of 96. In September 2019 I became companion caregiver to a 90 year-old man that has dementia. I really enjoy this type of work because I get to be part of giving a person a great quality life for him to enjoy! My number one priority is to keep him safe and healthy! I take him to museums, back Bay for a picnic/walks, park picnic/walk, and or a walk around the neighborhood. I stimulate his mind with crossword puzzles, we play together because sometimes he can get lost in the puzzle. Or sometimes we play cards. I encourage and assist him in do his daily exercises because he lose track of what he's doing. My number one goal is to give a good quality life to senior citizens because they deserve it!

Caregiving has been my job for over five years now and I stayed on this kind of job because I love caring elderly persons. I treat my patients with extra loving care as if my own family member.
