About Lori

Hello! My name is Lori. I am a mother of 4 (almost grown) children, and a daughter of one elderly parent. I have been a Physical Therapist Asst. for 29 years. My mother suddenly passed in 2017. My father has severe dementia, and in her absence, there existed a need for someone to care for him. I fulfilled this role for some time, until the inevitable, appropriate time came for me to return to my family and life back here in Missouri. I personally experienced the process of seeking a suitable caregiver for my father, to help maintain the lifestyle that he had always known. I didn't think that it should be difficult to find this person (people). But, it was, especially in a small rural KS town, considering the financial resources available. I discovered a passion for in-home caregiving. I have been blessed to be able to continue caregiving since that time, and have worked with several wonderful families. I am reliable, competent and compassionate. It is my desire to continue caring for those in need.

I'm very compassionate and patience person. I know how important it is to care for the elderly and socialize with them to keep their spirits up! I do have a cheery demeanour, I've always been very positive. I'm a very good listener and willing to help in all areas.

Other than helping raise my 10 younger sisters, I have very little caretaking experience. However, my personality is vibrant and I want to share love and kindness where it is needed/ desired. I traveled and adventured a great deal in my 20's and am now enjoying the opportunity to plant roots and give back. :)
