Depression Caregivers in Holmes Mill - 7 caregivers found

I was in school for nursing when my grandmother was diagnosised worth colon rectal cancer. In order for her to stay in her own home I left school and came to live with her providing 24 hour care. I was introduced to unclosed incisions, ostomy care, medical tracking, documentation, medications, dietary restrictions, bathing, dressing, and the activities of daily living. The doctor said giving her one year I turned it into four and when she died I felt the need to care for more people. Rather than returning to school I became a caregiver taking care of many people's grandmoms and grandpops. After separating an injury it took me out of the job I loved and left me at home with my children. Although this was fulfilling I missed taking care of people. Last year an old friend of mine contacted me following an accident and needed my help I came to Tennessee in order to help care for him following multiple surgeries in carting an external fixator, debridement, and rods and screws placed in the leg. Over time he developed infections in the leg and it did not heal a fact which I caught prior to the doctors ever seeing it. I've worked in order to get him better than unfortunately as a result of 12 different infections and biofilms created on the leg it is still something we are fighting to this day. But had I not been here what would have been a terrible infection would have resulted in a leg amputation or the sepsis that he has occurred twice would have killed him. I would like to find my way to other patients helping them in order to feel better in their own homes and give their families the Peace of mind of knowing that someone is with them that truly cares about them and will take good care of their families.

Hey! My name is Makayla. I am 24 and currently reside in Kingsport, TN. I have been a caregiver for about a year. But I had been volunteering at my local nursing home and helping the CNA's for about 4 years. I wanted to become a caregiver since I was a teenager. Ive always loves taking care of people. The main reason I became a caregiver is because I saw the difference it made in my grandfathers life when he had dementia. The caregivers who came into our homes made a huge difference and were such a blessing. Which I hope is how families feel when I am taking care of thier loved ones. I personally think I make a great caregiver because I am a very loving, empathetic, sympathetic, caring and trust worthy. I treat my clients how I would want my family treated if the roles were reversed.
