I look forward to helping and taking care of those who can't do so for themselves, and I always try my best to ensure that I am taking care of the person that I'm working with to the best capabilities possible. I have experience with senior care patients with ALS, Alzheimer's, Dementia, Sundowner's syndrome, Lung Cancer, Asthma, Parkinson's, and those who have suffered from strokes, Etc. I also have experience with feeding tubes, vents, cough assist, nebulizer treatments, medication management, oxygen use, blood sugar testing, catheters/foley's, specific diets, ambu bags, woundcare, etc. I'm very dependable, on time, and reliable for whenever you need me.

Experience & Education

ALS Caregiver

Apr 2016 - Sep 2017
Ralph Voelker
For the last year and a half, I was taking care of a quad man who was in the end stages of ALS, who was on a vent, was immobile, and had a closed suctioning ballard trache system in his neck. Unfortunately, He passed away. He was a total care patient. My tasks included getting him ready for the day, cleaned up, toileting, mouth care, rang of motion, bed bath, etc. From there, he would get his pills (crushed), and liquid medications via his feeding tube. After that, he would get his nebulizer and respiratory treatments. After the "morning routines" were done, I would spend the day with him, changing the channels on the tv, adjusting him in bed, suctioning his mouth, ballard, and portex as needed, giving meds, feeding and hydration, and tending to him as needed.
