Hospice Care Caregivers in Houghton Lake - 5 caregivers found

Currently I live in Prudenville, Mi. My family is relocating to Fremont at the beginning of May. It is very hard for me to leave my current job because I have been with some of my residents for 5 years now. They have become a second family to me. I love the relationships I have built with my people. My father in law passed away suddenly 8 years ago, that was what sparked my interest in care giving. I wanted to make a difference, to learn, to give back to the elderly. When I started my job I had no clue what I was getting myself into. I was a parent but hadn't cared for elderly people. This has made me a better person, I have a softer approach to life now. The difficulties have made me more patient, caring, and understanding.

What attracted me to CareLinx was the opportunity to make a difference in someone else's life regularly. The opportunity to combine my experience, knowledge, and interests into one career so I can help other people during a part of life that can feel overwhelming. I worked in Healthcare settings for over 7 year's combine, spectrum Ludington Hospital and Tendercare retirement home. My primary role environmental services, housekeeping. However, I am friendly, have a keen observation skill, listen, learned simply thing's like how to help transfer a person safely, how to follow directions about mobility, and how to assist with toiletting. All of these skills I picked up made it helpful to relieve my Grandpa or my Aunt to stop for breaks in handy when I learned about hospice care for two of my Grandma's. I am comfortable with dementia, altimmers, Parkinson, MS, degenerative conditions, mental illness. I have been in hospitality for over 20 years whether its food service as server in my twenties. Or the last 6 plus year's of my mid and late thirties as I worked my way up the ladder into the Executive Housekeeping Manager position for a corporation. Although it was a wonderful experience that allowed me to grow into the Assistant General Manager Position and taught me how to efficiently run a business, oversee daily operations of staff while taking inventory and documentation of stock to place orders. I know HiPPA, how to maintain dignity and privacy. Also, I have my own PPE for working in a client's home. I am vaccinated and I know the standard for cleanliness when handling C-diff, Hep C, shingles, and some other infectious diseases. My goal is to finish all my online training through CareLinx to help provide you the nest possible service. I then intended to get CPR certified and look into as much training as I can to provide yourself or your loved one the most safe, kind, relaxed, and comfortable care service imaginable.

I have the capacity to understand what others may not be able to communicate. I am empathetic to others needs and will go above and beyond to help them achieve their needs. My communication skills are excellent even in a non-communicative environment. My passion is elderly and disabled, whether that be mentally or physically. Everyone deserves a fair chance at a good life and I want to help others succeed. I am a very hardworking person as I also have the desire to provide thoroughly for my family as well. I find that elderly and disabled persons flock to me as they feel safe in my presence and know that that isn't always the case for them.

I absolutely love being able to help and care for others who cant help or care for themselfs, or even if they can but need some assitamce with help. I love having communication and playing games and doing activities with my clients. What attracted me to doing this type of work are just being able to help others who need help.. personal achievment im very proud of is becoming a home health aide and learning new things every day and just being able to care for my clients as they are my own family.. Im a wife and a mom to 3 sons. Which one of my sons was n a accident and has a lot of health issues including a tbi and brain tumor so more i learn working more i learn for him as well..

I have many years of experience working in elder care facilities and adult respite programs. I love seniors and find it easy to form warm and loving relationships through laughter and companionship.
