About john

I have always liked helping people. My parent taught me from a young age to take care of my great grandma, and then grandmas after were that. I believe the elderly deserve the best treatment possible. Again upbringing. Respect your elders. I am a people person and get along with most. I do not need someone to tell me what to do all the time. I just do it with-out being asked. I'm upbeat and like to see others smile. I would have to say. Uprooting my life to spend the last 8 years with the smartest man I ever knew. Never regretted it one time.

Carolyn
Another Home Health Aide had to go on maternity leave. Her back up left town so I took over. Carolyn had MS real bad and had to be helped doing most things. My job was to go out 5 times a week in the morning and getting her out of bed. Using an electric lifting machine to transfer her from bed to her wheelchair. Change her into her clothes for the day. Brush her hair, put her earrings on and help her brush her teeth. Shower her every other day. Gave her the medication she was supposed to take that day. Make her a breakfast and make sure she had what she needed for the day. I was always on call just in case she needed anything. Then went back in the evening to put her to bed. Changed her clothes back into her night ones, took out earrings and brushing her teeth, and helped her back into bed. Again with the medication and snacks for while she was in bed. Also had to clean her wounds and bandage them.

Frank Zimmerman (grandfather)
I moved to commerce, city to be next to my grandfather. I lived next door to him. I put in cameras in case of emergencies. I got him up every day. Made sure he took his meds 2x a day. Scheduled and took him to all appointments. Prepared and gave him all his meals. The last year i had to blend them up as well. Bathed him every other day. Helped with the bathroom towards the end. Always made sure his house was cleaned up and everything was in order. Hospice did help out some the last 6 weeks. I also filled in for a nurse in Craig, while she was on maternity leave. She was a lady with MS. I went out 5 days a week and got her out of bed. Using a lift machine. Got her into her chair and ready for the day. Showered her 3 x a week. Then went back out at night and changed her for bed. And again using the lift machine helped her to bed.
