About Laura

Like a lot of people who are caregivers I started out taking care of a loved one, who was suffering from Lupus and Heart Disease. She was a retired nurse who was full of knowledge and more than happy to pass it on to me during the ten years I took care of her. I found that not only was I a very good caregiver but that I actually enjoyed it and found it very fulfilling! I think one of the most important things I learned while caring for seniors is that even though they may need help with many different things, some of which are very personal, they are still an adult not a child. I've found people appreciate that, I know I would if the situation was reversed. My second ten years in this business have been helping wonderful people who have found themselves in need of quality care. Their conditions have included Diabetes, Parkinson, Strokes, Dementia and Alzheimer's and other ailments. Some have just needed a little help and companionship. I was very happy that I could be there for them and make a difference in their day with whatever level of care they needed, and to help the family feel confident that their loved one had someone competent and caring to depend on. I have many hand written references that I have received over the years that I can share with you in person.

I took care of both parents preparing meals and serving, also helping with feeding when nessary. I also helped with showering, personal care skin care, brushing teeth, dressing and undressing for bed. Helping with transfers both in the house and on outings. I helped with all daily house hold chores from dishes to laundry, and dusting and vacuuming. I spent time visiting with them, reading to them, listing to music or watching some programs on DVD's also. I enjoyed taking care of both of them and miss them and their family.
