About Debra

I am an R.N. who just enjoys caregiving. I have worked as both a nurse and a caregiver for patients in their homes for the past 12 years. I am more committed than ever to providing care for people in their homes after my father needed such care before he died of ALS a few years ago.

    It has been my privilege to lovingly care for elderly people with dementia, starting with my mother-in-law. I enjoy entering their world and showing them the dignity, respect and gentle care our elders should have. I have become the trusted companion of each person I’ve cared for, and have served several of them for years at a time. Support for the family of the person I am companion to is a special part of my ministry. I am currently a part-time seminary student and simply love people. My desire is to bring joy and wisdom in caregiving to those I serve.
