About Sherry

I have been a caregiver since I was a child. My Grandfather was bedridden for 15 years with RA and I was the oldest daughter, so I helped my mother with his care. I also cared for my Aunt who suffered from mental illness. She was diagnosed as bipolar and she was also schizophrenic She was also a diabetic with hypertension. I have also been an In Home Care Provider for a non family member who suffered from breast cancer. She lived with me until she passed away which was 34 months. I moved to Somerset to care for my dad who was diagnosed with Congestive heart failure and he was also an insulin dependent diabetic with hypertension and COPD. I cared for him 18 months until his passing and I now I'm a resident of Pulaski County. I'm also a foster parent and I adopted my son from the program when he was 13 and he is now 15. I have a total of 5 children and 4 Grandkids, 2 of which are twins. Caring for others is so good for our hearts, minds and souls. There's no other feeling like helping those in need. God loves us and wants us to do his work which is loving and caring for others as we do ourselves.

Before I came to Somerset to care for my dad, I was fostering. When my dad was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure I knew my place was with him. So I packed up and moved to Somerset, so he could get the best care possible. He also had diabetes and COPD. I cared for him until his passing on 11/29/20. I went back to fostering and on 08-31-2022, I adopted my son from the program. I'm still a foster parent.

Home Care Provider

Self Employed Health Inc
My client moved in with me, so I was the sole provider of all her care. She had diabetes, Afib, hypertension and internal bleeding brought on by the drug Prodaxa which ultimately led to her passing. I provided all her hygiene needs including haircuts, food preparation and feedings, transportation to and from all her medical appointments. She had no family, so my family became her family and we developed a very close bond.
