About Chris

Sadly lost a long time dementia patient during the holidays and am now looking for a new patient to take care of. I received nursing and medical assistant training as a Navy Corpsman in the U. S Navy. Since then I spent years working as a medical assistant in a doctor's office. Also at the same time started part time as a senior caregiver working with seniors through Home Health Aide and with several veterans through the V. A's Veteran's Direct program. I can't help but become friends with my patients and their families, we always find a way to somehow have a good laugh even in the roughest times. I have been CPR Certified and EMT Certified.

My health care career started caring for my father who struggled with the debilitating effects of Parkinson's disease. Six years later, I decided health care was something I was good at, enjoyed, and found rewarding. I went to school and obtained my CNA license. I worked several years at Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing Facilities. I have worked with several CareLinx families providing compassionate support and reliable care.

I originally started my healthcare career as a First Responder (EMT- Intermediate Grade) with American Heart Association CPR and American Red Cross Advanced First Aid Instructor certificates (though all said certifications are lapsed at this time) before moving on to other career choices. Four years ago, an opportunity for home healthcare assistance became available. I enjoyed that experience and continue to work with patients requiring some additional activities of daily living assistance.
