Private Duty In Home Care LPN
I've helped take care of my grandmother for the past six years to ensure she was able to safely remain in her home. My grandmother suffered from dementia, so some of the things I took care of were: I ordered, picked up and would ensure her monthly medications were filled. Vitals were taken and documented daily. In addition, I kept track of all of her appointments and scheduled as necessary. I set out clean clothes and pajamas daily as "que" for the next day, made all meals while with her, document percentages eaten and fluid intake. I scheduled & drove her to all of her medical appointments. (Eye doctor, family care doctor, orthopedist, physical therapy and scheduled in home evaluations every 6 months with an occupational therapist to ensure her safety in her home) I trained & interviewed her other caregivers for the evenings and weekends and I was their first point of contact if any issues arose. I ensured if home modifications were needed to be made and scheduled and were present for those as well too. Other items I took care of were: grocery shopping, taking her to the bank, manage her social calendar with her bridge friends and made sure we went on weekly outings for socialization.

I have 20 years of experience in the medical/nursing field. I've worked in nursing homes, hospitals, and agencies and have found that in home care is the field best suited for me. I tend to be drawn toward Alzheimer/dementia patients as I'm learning my approach in care, they tend to respond to me best. I have worked with several families and helped to restore certain independence to patients with walking, dressing, feeding themselves. I ran a restorative therapy program for over two years in a nursing facility before deciding to take a home care position with an agency.

I am looking for a part time position with hours in the evenings and/or weekends. I became a Caregiver because I enjoy being around people. My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and after my grandfather passed away, I would visit her frequently to do her hair and other small tasks for her. The more time I spent there, I discovered how much I loved it. I got my Caregivers certificate within months and have never loved what I do so much. I love being able to help others. I love encouraging them to embrace what they can do and help them, gently, with what they are unable to do, now. Even though the job may be difficult at times, the reward at the end of the day is always worth it. I have worked in some very challenging circumstances where my patience, joy and understanding are challenged. I am proud to say that I have learned to understand where my client is coming from in different circumstances. I have learned to be patient with them during any situation and to be joyful before, during and after any trying time. I am a people person, with a big heart, who cares immensely for other people. I am trustworthy, kind, patient, caring and understanding.
