About Stacey

I have 15 years of experience in the medical field and five years of experience caring for seniors in a nursing home setting. I am comfortable with and proficient in bathing, dressing, feeding, grooming, and assisting with other basic needs. I have a special place in my heart for the senior community. Many elderly have lived full and fascinating lives. They often have a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to share and plenty of time to share it. My greatest priority is to provide proper, attentive, and respectful care to ensure that they retain their dignity and maintain as much independence as possible. I am also CPR certified.
