About Patsy

I'm a retired special education teacher who wants to work with seniors and their families. I was my mother's caregiver as she struggled with Alzheimer's. She was ultimately moved to a memory care facility. In addition, my dad had Parkinson's. I know how difficult it is to take care of loved ones. It is also difficult to trust others for their care. I'm here to help. I have a Masters in Special Ed as well as level I fingerprint license and current CPR certificate.
