About Lorna

I have several years experience working with seniors in their homes. I am reliable, dedicated, hard working. compassionate and easy to get along with. I believe that at this stage in their lives, after all of their contributions to their families and the society at large, these seniors deserve to be respected, loved and cared for in a dignified way. While caring for them I also believe that caregivers should empower them to maintain as much independence as they are able to tolerate and to make their environment warm and pleasant. In essence my personal motto is "treat the client the way I would want to be treated if I was the client."

    I enjoy taking care of sick people and the ones who can't help themselves. Helping them to do what they can't manage to do anymore. I am a reliable caring and a very hard worker. I go above and beyond for my residents to make sure they are safe and comfortable at all times.

    I am a CNA with in home care experience as well as nursing home experience. I have worked with elderly residents and also the mentally challenged. My favorite part about being a caregiver is helping people maintain a sense of independence as well as being there to lend a helping hand.
