About JULIE

Hi ! If your looking for a caregiver who will care about your family member as much as you do, Im her ! I'm very passionate about older people & have a great respect for them. I enjoy their company & don't mind spending time with them, sometimes just letting them talk, listening to them, and conversing with them is also very therapeutic. Everyone wants to be heard and sometimes our elderly don't always get as much attention as they should. I have a great sense of humor, I'm easy going but can be firm if I need to be (in regards to taking meds or exercises, etc) . I understand that at times everyone has a bad day, needs to vent or is just cranky, Im very patient and will try to lighten the situation and lighten it up with a joke or just offering kind words or helpful advice. Im extremely clean and organized and pay close attention to details : I'm good at cleaning, laundry and a decent cook, not a grand chef but I can prepare a meal. Separating meds into weekly pill boxes, schedules & making appointments are no problem. Im also a Christian so if your family member is too, I don't mind connecting with them on that level. Im very conscious person when it comes to dealing with the feelings of the elderly, there are times with dementia when they can be embarrassed or feel humiliated for forgetting something, there are also other situations when a patient may have an issue with incontinence and have a bad accident. These times can be very embarrassing and humiliating, Im good at making a bad situation better. I was in the same or similar situation with my mother & I know how very stressful and difficult it can be finding good care for someone you love, all you can do is try to find that right person, hope for the best & hope it all works out . I hope you will put your trust and faith in me, Im honest, always do the right thing, caring, loving and will treat your family member like they are one of my own. Julie ~

IHHS ( In home support services)

I was a caretaker for my mother working for IHHS ( in home health services) and have done just about everything you can image: finances, paying bills, budgets ( Im very good at this if your parent is on a fixed income) cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, hygiene, diaper changes, dressing, making and traveling to dr appointments, picking up, logging and disbursement of meds, oxygen, lab work, etc. She was also using a walker in the beginning and then later a wheelchair, I understand the difficulty and the frustration patients can have with dealing with their declining health and I am very patient and understanding. My mother had many different diagnosis one being congested heart failure, tuberculosis, COPD, Cdiff. colon cancer, high blood pressure, just pretty much anything you can think of she went through and she did have dementia that was progressing. We were in and out of the hospital and convalescent hospitals until it was finally time for hospice, where two days later I was with her when she passed so Im also very familiar with this process; the patients loss of appetite, claiming to see those that have passed ( however I am a christian so I do believe in what they see) , fixed stares, fish out of water breathing, their burst of energy they get the day before they pass and that their hearing is the last to go,
