About Patricia

My first job in the medical field was during the summer of 1984 at a nursing home in Williamstown, Massachusetts and I have been doing various kinds of work in the medical field since then, because I love taking care of others and especially the elderly when others seem to give up on them. It's something I will always do as long as I can still do for myself, even if it's just a couple of days a week or PRN. I have learned to be very patient from childhood till now, know that what they say or do is not intentional and definitely treat them as those you love and care for in my own family. Knowing that I love helping others, I chose the elderly because they need us more. I enjoy listening to their stories and becoming someone they can trust to help them in time of need. Achievements I'm proud of is completing various courses in the medical field like HHA Certified, PCA training in a hospital for about 4yrs, CNA training in a nursing facility and graduating from college.

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.
