About 4936 1/2 n winthrop ave

Hi my name is Cori. Was raised by my grandparents and I got to return the love and spend a lot of time with them at their end of life as their caretaker keeping them out of a nursing home. My grandma has vascular dementia and my grandfather cancer. I learned a lot as their ulltime caretaker and it was very rewarding. After they passed I had an empty mess so I ended up taking on more caretaking . I was needed by another family. I learned to be resourceful and adapt to the needs that are unique and personal to each aging person and their family. I also have a degree in health information technology and have studied all body systems, diseases, anatomy, and trained in medical records. I'm a grey cook of meal assistance is needed. If there is anything I can do to assist you or your family member please reach out.

I was a Librarian back in the Philippines but when I came to the US in 2006, my friend encouraged me to try working with the elderly as a caregiver. Since then, I have been working as a caregiver and I developed the love and passion in taking care of the elderly. I have experience in taking care.of elderly with different health issues such as Alzheimers, Dementia, diabetis, heart diseases (ie. CHF), Lung or respiratory disease, stroke, cancer, hospice, etc. I assist my residents with their activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, walking, exercising, etc.. I also do meal preparation , laundry, light housekeeping and medication reminder. I can also assist my Residents with their errands and bring them to their doctor's appointments. I am not only a caregiver to to my Residents but I am also a companion, a friend, a confidant whom they could trust and depend on. I am a responsible person,, loyal and reliable. I stay with my Residents until they terminate my employment. I am proud of being a caregiver because I know I make a difference in the lives of my Residents and I am grateful that most of my Residents that I have taken cared of, including their families, trusted me to be part of the last journey of their lives. My nationality is Filipino and we are known to be the best in caregiving, especially to the elderly.
