About Debra

Why: Found myself as a young girl growing stepping in to take care of my mother who was diagnosed with diabetes. What I enjoy about being a caregiver is lots of things but the one that stands out the most would be at the end of the day was able to put a smile on someone's face. Personal achievement most proud of knowing that everyday I can make someone feel as though they are still worth living and that it' s never to late to do anything. Tell something about myself. One who is very dependable, endured a lot of mind strength, learned to be patient, always willing to learn something new.

    I've been a caregiver for 35 yrs. I started in this field when I was just 17. I love what I do. I come from a medical family and decided at a very young age that I wanted to be a doctor or nurse. I specialize in geriatric dementia and Alzheimers care. Every client needs to know they're truly cared for on every level with love, patience, and kindness. I enjoy learning from them ... they often have amazing histories, stories and lessons to share.I'm often with my clients for the duration of their lives.

    Why did I become a caregiver? I became a caregiver because of my desire to help others especially the elderly. My passion and dedication for seniors is very important to me. Nothing brings me great pleasure in assisting people that are in need of some care. My greatest achievement in life are my children. I am a mother of four and a grandmother of six. Teaching my children to respect and help others gives me the satisfaction that when in some giving time I need help, they will assist me just like I assist and care for others in the same manner. I'm not just a caregiver but a friend and if God gave me the patience, understanding and caring way to help others than I am here for that. God bless you and hope to assist anyone in need.
