About Karen

I've been an LPN for 18 years, I'm 46 years old and I love working with geriatric patients. I'm patient, kind and dependable. I can provide assistance for all activities of daily living with a professional nurse's ability to monitor vital signs, assess and maintain skin integrity (avoid bedsores), recognize signs and symptoms of acute illness, have a knowledge of medications and more while your loved one remains safe and comfortable in their own home.

I do my best to maintain a positive outlook and attitude each day no matter what challenge arises. Im compassionate to others. I enjoy making conversation, cooking, animals, nature and music. I always put everyone I love and care about above me. I became attracted to caregiving while taking care of my grandmother. Being close to her my whole life has really shaped me into this career. Im somewhat old fashioned. I can't explain it, I've just always loved taking care of others. I enjoy the time i get to spend knowing and sharing memories with a client. Those small talks.. And the fact that they know they're not alone in their situation. Helping those who've always helped or taken care of us is a high privelege. Im most proud of my loved ones and taking care of my grandmother.
