About Edward

I'm Ed, a semi-retired university professor of health administration in Tucson Arizona. I assist clients navigate the healthcare system as well as help them with paying bills, organizing their medications, and providing transportation to medical appointments. I do not provide cooking or direct assistance with bathing, eating or other activities of daily living. Rather I serve as an informal case manager and coordinator of services. I want to help seniors and others thrive whatever their condition. I'm currently volunteering at the Villa Maria Care Center. Also, I have experience in assisting my parents as they aged. I have an MBA and a PhD in Health Care Administration, and I worked as a educator and trainer for 27 years. I am a intermediate-level Spanish speaker, and would like to have more practice speaking Spanish with bilingual clients.

I became a caregiver becauseI love providing caregiving services to those that would otherwise not be able to do so. The smile on their faces is overwhelming and makes me feel I have done my job right. I have always enjoyed helping people ,so I know I am doing the right thing. What i like about being a caregiver,I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients' lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives.A personal achievement i'm proud of was being able to take care of my grandmother in her time of need and having the right skills to do so well.About me,I always give 100% and do the best job I can, with no exceptions or excuses.I pride myself on providing excellent care.My top 5 qualities i bring to the table would be Empathy,Dependability,Patience,Strength, and love . I also try to bring a sense of humor to my work. If I can add a smile or laugh to a client's day, that means a lot to me.
