About Melissa

I am a caregiver because i believe it is a duty to give back to the elderly because if there was no them there would be no us. I also believe in giving care to those who are learning to live with mental or physical Disabilities for they may walk, talk, or think differently they love the same as anyone else i have learned that you can always be taught by someone else no matter their challenges. I love to know i have brought happiness and comfort to people, that is what im most proud of is to see that i made someone smile or laugh or gave that shoulder or wiped that tear im proud of being that support system and im proud to make a difference. I dont only provide care i provide a friendship for thosevi help and their families. I have had many years of taking care of different types of people and each one was special in everyway and i have learned something from each one of them and will carry those things with me forever, and hope to come across many more people so we can make a differences in eachothers lives. I only hope that one day when i need help it is given to me how i have given to others

    I care for residents in an assisted living and memory care facility. I help with memory loss by providing activities to remind them of certain daily tasks and cognitive skills. I also help manage any behavioral patterns such as sundowning. I also prove help with ADLs such ss bathing. Dressing, feeding, changing etc. I also am there just to provide a companion sometimes it is very hard for some to understand what is going on so i provide comfort and security and make sure they feel and remain safe.

    I am compassionate, kind and reliable. I understand the importance of seniors remaining in the home they love and worked hard for . I have worked in homecare but also in assisted living. In either setting it is important for a caregiver to remember the elderly need to be treated with respect and dignity.

    I consider myself to be a very loving person. I became a caregiver when my father started experiencing memory loss which unfortunately lead to Dementia. I'm very understanding of what family's experience when someone you love get this illness. I hope to care for the elderly for a long time and also bring some relief to the family that their love ones are in good hands.
