About Lora

Hello my name is Lora, I work out of Cape Coral and Key West FL. I decided to be a caregiver for the elderly initially to make extra money on the weekends. I worked for an agency and I was very good at my job. I now do this work full time. I had a home daycare for 12 years and really enjoyed helping children thrive in the beginning of their life it was very satisfying. I feel the same satisfaction when I help elderly people to be happy and comfortable and cared for. (One of my References) Lora was my mother's caregiver for a couple years. As my mother aged and became progressively worse, there were only a couple of the caregivers that she actually liked. Lora was definitely one of them. Mom would look forward to her visits because Lora would give her a nighttime shower, which was not an easy task. Lora never complained and always had a smile on her face. she also had a certain calmness about her that kept my mom calm and feel safe at all times. She was very organized, exceedingly knowledgeable and punctual. Sometimes I would stop in after work and notice the two of them laughing and talking in the other room. Lora has a way of making people feel comfortable, and she is easy to talk to, it seems she genuinely loves people. She is very gentle, patient and caring with people as well. I would highly recommend Lora Mims as a caregiver. She is trustworthy and honest but most of all, she has a big heart and I feel she truly loved my mom and my mom loved her. Sincerely, Cheryl Johnson You can find another reference under work (Glen) Thank you for your consideration and I hope to be hearing from you. I'm willing to travel for the right position. Thank you.

Care giver

May 2015 - Jun 2017
Glen Ierland
Performed various duties such as monitoring medications, take blood pressure, assist client to restroom/showering/sponge baths, food preparation, take client, shopping, doctor, etc. in contact with Glen's daughter daily to report on how he is doing. Update I've been with Glenn now for two years as of this May 2017 I I am now educated and have performed peg tube feedings. I also had learned to work closely with hospice care. ..Reference from Glens(daughter)To whom it may concern: Lora Mims was employed by me from May 2015-June 2017. She cared for my elderly father from his illness start to finish. Lora was VERY compassionate and caring in those 2 years. As my fathers health declined, Lora got exposed to many different ways to care for him. She is able to administer tube feedings, transport techniques, and she has learned to recognize when something isn't right. Lora is EXTREMELY dependable. Not one time in 2 years was Lora not able to come to work. She took especially good care of him. She has a great sense of humor also, which put myself and my dad at ease. She is a companion type of caregiver. I don't think she looked at this as a job, but she truly enjoys caring for not only terminally ill but anyone who needs any type of assistance. You wont be disappointed. Robin I Forster ‪262-424-8854‬ riforster@att.net

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.
