I keep the house clean, cook nutritious meals to the clients taste as much as possible according to their dietary needs. I help with personal hygiene as the individual needs and will curl hair, trim and paint nails, lotion and massage if client wishes. If capable we will walk outside, and I will help client to do any recommended physical therapy exercises. I can organize and administer medications reliably and order refills as needed. I will take the client to doctor and dental appointments & advise family of the outcome of those visits if requested. I keep a daily log of the days events and recognize changes. I have a years experience of working in the long term care unit of Allen Memorial Hospital in Waterloo, IA. I have also been a scrub nurse in both Iowa & California, but not for many years. I was retired for a number of years before I became an in home care giver. I can give excellent references fro
