About Orlanda

Hello! My name is Orlanda. I have over 10 years of providing care as an HHA. I believe that all should be provided with love from your heart. When dealing with elderly they are set in their ways and they can be stubborn. You have to have patience and a gentle spirit to deal with them. Also, you have to be willing to help the family deal with the different stages of changes they go through. Communication, Patience, Love, and Understanding are what helps you through difficult times. I am not a CNA. I have worked doing campion care for over 10 years for home care companies. I dependable and believe that a patient's need is only met by proving them with a routine care plan. When dealing with dementia patient you want to find activities that gives them comfort and keep them living a normal life. I believe in providing good quality care.

I think I am a great caregiver because I pay strict attention to the needs and wants of my clients. I became a caregiver, after I retired, because I love people and have a passion to help. What I like most about being a caregiver is the fact that I am able to be of assistance in any way that I can for people. I have a very loving, caring heart and out of the many clients that I've had, I can honestly say, I've loved them and they have loved me as well. Besides all of that, I enjoy the wonderful conversations that we have and enjoy the many stories I've heard from them. I have patience and I like to show my clients the special attention that they want and need.
