About Gerda

Also educated in early childhood development, I felt very comfortable and drawn to seniors and started working as caregiver in 1995. From there I worked as CNA in nursing home in Germany. When our facility opened a memory care I was selected and given classes in dementia and Alzheimer care. I worked in memory care in Germany until 2009 when I moved to Savannah GA. My last job in the US I was a medication manager in a personal care home until we moved to Hawaii last month. In my free time I love spending time outside, love hiking, running, swimming and now snorkeling.

I was born to be a caregiver. I love taking care of people. I helped take care of my grandmother for 10+ years because she had a debilitating stroke, alzheimers and dementia to name the major issues. I have also taken care of my mother when she was put on hospice due to stage 4 liver cancer. I enjoy helping families with their loved ones. I understand how much they mean to you and how much you could use the help.

I am a compassionate person that enjoys helping our elderly community. I have skilled experience and knowledge with geriatric cares and have been in private home health for 10+ years. My experiences range anywhere from palliative cares to basic daily living activities in order for the client to safely remain in the comforts of their homes for as long as possible or until end of life. What sets me apart from other caregivers is my ability to see and understand changes in lifestyle and to be able to adapt to client needs and cares. I am proud of the work I do for our elderly community and strive to continue to provide a safe and healthy working relationship with my clients and their family members that are also involved in their care plan.
