About Debra

My name is Debbie Cookson. I am an LPN/Caregiver. I started out as a caregiver in a Long Term Care facility. Then getting my LPN license 3years later. I worked at one facility for 18 years care managing for 25-30 patients at a time. My work always included hands on caregiving . My experience includes working at Nursing Homes,Assisted Living Facilities and Alzheimer's Units. i now have been working approximately the last 10 years for myself supplying Home Care for the Elderly. I was with my last client for nearly 7 years and before that worked with a client who had MS for 4 years before she was moved to a nursing home. When I am providing care as an LPN I care manage which includes med preparation and administration,working with physicians, and assisting clients to Dr. appointments. I very much enjoy getting back to my roots of one on one caregiving allowing my clients to live at home for as long as possible.

I took interest in Caregiving 25 years ago when I needed to earn extra money on top of my regular place of employment. Since then I've worked both for an agency and also do private caregiving. I enjoy and find it very rewarding to help someone in need and hope that someday if needed I'll have someone with my abilities and personality to care for me. I find it very rewarding to be there for someone in need and to also meet new people. I once was told that you cannot make caregiving personal and I absolutely disagree with that. The client becomes your friend whom relies on you for so much. My personal achievement that I'm most proud of is becoming the hard working caring mom and wife I am. I love making people happy
