About Diana

I have compassion for the elderly. I see them as a living history. I love talking with them about their lives and experiences they have had. I worked for a lady who was eating nothing but TV dinners; which have to much salt. We would talk about food that she had eaten in her life. Soon I found my self fixing the food she loved to eat. She would tell me how she made it and I would make it that way. Soon dinner was a good thing not just something to heat up.

I worked with the MD's . I made sure they got all their paper work complete within the 14 days of discharge of a PT from the hospital. I did data entry, answered phones. pulled charts, EMR update in system. I had a spreadsheet to keep the information daily current.

I like the idea of being able to help someone so they're able to stay in their own home. I have a great time with my clients, and I make sure they are comfortable, and in a happy mood and all their needs are addressed. It gives me satisfaction knowing at the end of my day I have helped a fellow human being to make their days better, and that's a great feeling.

I am an RN of 35 plus years, I also work on staff as a Massage Therapist for a local fitness/ rehabilitation facility- I have a long background in hospital based Acute Care. In recent years my focus has been on eldercare, Hospice, home-care. I consider myself to be a calm, easy, cheerful- hands on care provider. I enjoy using my skills, training- I am able to provide simple or more involved care in the home- simple monitoring to assistance with daily life/ personal care. I like to provide individual care to both my client and their surrounding environment- keeping both clean, organized and comfortable. My assessment skills, training and experience assist me to determine, with the input of the client and family -what the current needs are, and then provide effective solutions and specific care that fits the client and their situation. I also believe in clear communication, so that all are working together towards whatever goal is desired-and whether that is increased independence, rehabilitation, post op recovery, or simply easing distress and assisting w basic activities of daily living, comfort care. In this current climate- I have a strong background in infection control- personally I have been maintaining self isolation as is possible- limiting my interactions/ contact with others to only what is necessary- I use a secure mask to interact- and standard cleaning/ hand washing protocols when interacting - References upon request .
