About Sarah

I grew up watching and helping my mom take care of my step dad. He had suffered a traumatic brain injury at work. When I was too young to understand what Alzheimer's was, my grandma struggled with it and eventually passed. When I got older I wanted to understand what these disabilities were that had such an impact on my life. I took courses and got certified as a CNA/HHA, but let both certificates go because I got a job with sunrise senior living of Sacramento and they didn't require I had them. I've been with them as a reminiscence (memory care) care manager for 6 years. In that time I've completed a medication care manager training and filled in passing meds whenever necessary. I have also filled in as lead care manager at times. Sunrises' mission statement is "To champion the quality of life for all seniors." They back it up by setting high standards for myself and my fellow frontline team members. They set us up for success by providing educational trainings on dementia, safe lifting, hygiene, activities, behavioral expressions, basic human needs, skin integrity, dining, and housekeeping. Unfortunately I've been feeling lately like it's time to take a chance and make a change. I'm sure with my skills knowledge and experience I can now provide one on one care to residents in the comfort of their own home. In doing this I hope to build a better relationship with and earn more trust from my resident and their family. I want to provide the best quality care possible.

I have been a caregiver since 2009. I have a great passion for taking care of others and have spent most of my working career doing so. I have extensive experience in almost every area providing care for this population. I have worked with a variety of Alzheimer's and dementia clients as well as Parkinson's, MS, Diabetes, severe respiratory issues, Huntington's disease , cancer and those on hospice all which include many different special needs. I have a degree in Psychology from CSUS that I earned in 1983. If there's something new I'm not familiar with, I'm more than willing to learn. I love to cook and most likely can make almost anything up on request. I'm always willing to do house cleaning and laundry. I take pride in my work and always go above and beyond what is expected of me. I enjoy conversing with those I provide care for, they always have such interesting memories and history. My mission is to always treat my clients with the compassion, respect and dignity they deserve. I also work at the San Juan Unified School District with Autistic preschool children which requires much energy, patience and understanding. I am also fully vaccinated. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you further about my qualifications and how I can help you.
