Hello. My name is Andrew Gordon, and I have been a professional caregiver and licensed medication technician for three years. I have worked in two Assisted Living Facilities, and I am certified in CPR/first aid. I also completed an Alzheimer's training simulation where I was put in special gear to replicate the symptoms of the disease. It was an intense and eye-opening experience. I am now looking to move away from ALF's and focus on 1-on-1 care. When I became a professional caregiver I wasn't sure what to expect. I quickly fell in love with caring for the elderly, and it provided fulfillment that I was lacking in my life. I was approached with an opportunity to work in the Memory Care unit early in my career, and at first I was hesitant. It didn't take long before I developed a soft spot for people with Alzheimer's disease, and I discovered that I work really well with them.
