About Derika

I have a natural urge to help others. I know how to empathize. It is important for me to have a personal understanding and connection with what my patient is going through, by putting myself in the patient's shoes, and identify and ease the patient's pains or discomfort. I have worked with patients with Alzheimer's and Dementia for a year. I am a compassionate individual who enjoys providing exceptional care to people of different ages. I am a sociable person with a natural capability of providing continuous care for as long as a patient need.
