Abigail G.

I have had a passion for caring for seniors at a very young age. It all started with me caring for my neighbor Ms. Jackson when I was just 13 years old but she didn't have any children but she as always so kind to me. I've worked in a nursing home, have had some private duty cases and I've cared for adults with disabilities. My grandmother ran a group home for children with disabilities and I believe this is where my passion to care for others came from. I take pride in providing care for those who can't care for themselves anymore. I feel that just because you've gotten older and can't do for yourself as you once did, you should still be able to maintain your dignity and self respect. That is my goal as a provider to help each individual maintain as much independence as possible and to provide the best care needed. I've care for many people in my life time but the return on what I've gained is beyond words.

Becoming a caregiver has been my pride and joy. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is helping others. One of My most personal achievements has been becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant. Being a Nursing Assistant is my passion. I have enjoyed the path am on, giving essential care and helping with day-day needs. I have worked in-home care for 18 years, Over the years I have gained insight and hands-on experience in Geriatric Care, Oncology, Dementia, Strokes, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. I have seen and understand firsthand how life can transition from being independent to becoming codependent on daily needs. I became a Certified Nursing Aid in 2007 however, I have worked in-home care since 1997. I take pride in my work. I have provided services of care and assistance in the areas of activities for daily living such as Dressing, Grooming, Toileting, Preparing meals, Lite Housekeeping, incontinence, minor household management, medication organization, which are all done with quality care.
