About LaGene

I became a caregiver because of my parents in need of care...During a 37+year period I have worked as a caregiver/home-care aide ,personal assistant also assisted caring for my parents until they departed. I was taught to honor thy mother/ father and respect others at a young age... I have completed and passed a C.N.A. course 19+years ago and have worked in nursing homes,skilled facilities and rehab centers as a rehab assistant for quite sometime now...What I do in making a difference in helping others has always been a joyous experience. I hope I can be an assistant to you. If not I hope you find the help and support that's needed for you and or your family.
