About Dorothy

I love helping people and allowing them to be as comfortable and independent as they can be. I respect all individuals and enjoy the wisdom mature adults can bring. I enjoy caring for people, but never want them to feel as if they are helpless. I take time to show and explain procedures or exercises necessary to help individuals achieve their goals. I have several years of college education and have achieved an Associate in Nutrition, a CNA license and am working on my Bachelors in Nutrition and Dietetics. I love education and just enjoy learning. I am a mother of four grown adults, all married with careers they enjoy. I also have three beautiful grandchildren I love to spoil.
