Dementia Caregivers in Ellinger - 43 caregivers found

I am a caregiver who absolutely loves n enjoys providing compassionate care to those I am caring for. I believe caregiving is the most rewarding field of work and is to be done in the most loving manner.

I am very knowledgeable in the caring field. I am dependable & trustworthy. I don't have children so I put all of my heart and time into those who need me. I feel like God has blessed me with the skills and ability to have a caring heart. I strive to make your loved ones journey as safe & productive as possible. I love nurturing . One of my favorite experiences being a caregiver are the families that I meet and become close with. They become family to me too. I took care of my husband who passed after 19 years of cancer, my grandparents , who both suffered from Alzheimer's. Spent numerous years working in a rest home & for private clients in their home. Here I've learned many skills for many areas where disease affects family. If you choose me to be a part of your care team I'm confident I can complete any task asked of me. Please remember there's no task that is too big or too small, together we can get through it all.

I've been a caregiver for more than 30 years. I care about people and I feel like God has given me a gift. I love to talk so I pretty much can get a patient to try must things that a family member can't get them to to to. I love to read and interact with them if it's just a game cards.

My name is Takeshia Hodge and I am 27 years old I'm currently a certified medication aide as well as a community supervisor. I am currently in the process of going back to college to be a RN. My passion is to help others that aren't able to help themselves. My passion is pleasing people!

I am capable of being a great care giver because I am attentive and not judgemental. I became a caregiver by accident, my mother lost her memory with little warning, (she was handing her own affairs well and within a few days she was incapable of managing her own affairs), and soon after lost her ability to walk, at the time I was unemployed and so became a caregiver. In spite of not having given this line of work any previous consideration. Becoming a caregiver for people outside my family acquainted me with how other people lived. My interest has always been people and spending a considerable amount of time in homes, allows me insights that other jobs don't give. Growing up I always enjoyed my grandmother recalling the life experiences that made her the type of person she was. I take pride in being a unique individual and not being just like everyone else. I am not just a member of a collective.

After caring for my fiance's bed bound Uncle for 2 years back in 2013, I found myself going to night school to get into the Medical Field, so I could do more for patients like him. The entire time I was putting myself through night school, I took care of a few other disabled elderly neighbors. While working at NCMC hospital, and then a Gastroenterologist office, I did not feel I was where God wanted me. After speaking with the doctor I was working for and his wife, they pointed me in a direction to help hospice clients. I finally felt I was where God wanted me. In December of 2019, after my sister passed away from cancer, my Mom called and asked me to come home. She said she needed me to help her during her surgeries. I didn't hesitate. I sold my house and moved up here to Fayetteville to help my brother with my Mom. 6 months later she passed and I found myself right back in Home Health Care. I have always gone where I was needed and wanted. The appreciation the clients show me, just from the way their eyes smile at me, that pulls me right back to where I feel I belong. My apologies for not being available on the weekends. I was blessed with becoming a grandmother, shortly after my mom passed, so my weekends are pretty much taken up by my precious Grandson. Monday - Friday, if I am open, I would love to step in and help. Remember, no matter where you are in this walk of life, God has a plan for each and everyone of us. Obviously, we are still here because He is not finished with us. Stay safe and have a truly blessed day.

I enjoy taking care of people in any way that I can. I listen to their needs and assist in any way possible. I love talking to people and getting to know their personal needs

I like to present myself as having a Servant's Heart. I am Compassionate, Friendly, Outgoing, and have the tendency to assure the people I assist to feel comfortable and worthy. The need for elderly care and companionship attracted me to begin working as a caregiver. I enjoy knowing that I make a difference in elderly citizens' lives. I am a retired flight attendant and have been trained in CPR and other first aid practices. I worked approximately 2 years for a family whose father was a retired Army Colonel. He had Parkinson's disease and Lewy Body dementia. I recently was requested, by the daughter of an 82 year old lady who I had previously cared for, to travel to FL to stay with her mother for one week while she traveled back to IL for meetings. I would consider accompanying an elder client if need be to travel.

I am an upbeat and positive individual who believes that each day is the best day ever! I became a caregiver when my husband, mother and father all became ill and needed care. Their care ranged from physical needs, to needs due to dementia. I wanted to be the one there with them to care for them. However, when I couldn't be there with them full time, as I needed to work, I was blessed to have found the most wonderful caregiver in the world to care for them. She treated my loved ones as family, and cared for them with love, compassion and dignity. It is now my privilege to be able to share that gift with other families that I care for. I enjoy the companionship and helping those who are in their most vulnerable state., and caring for them with dignity and compassion. A personal achievement that I am proud of is graduating from college with a degree in Psychology at the age of 47!

I became a caregiver because my grandfather was ill when I was young I had to learn to assist with him I love to help people I started out as a CNA and then a med aid and now I am currently trying to get into RN program I am striving to be the best so that I can always be there to help people
