About Charles

My interest in assisting senior adults began at 19 in my church. And even earlier, I had a deep love for my grandmother. I saw that I could truly help them. The interaction of youth and maturity was fascinating. Of course, the blessing came in the serving, and enlisting others in the serving. Gaining the trust of so many seniors. I believe in personal freedoms, honesty, respect, and fairness. I know that all of us are terminal. I know that 'love' is the strongest thing in the world, and must be used more. I can be be a strong advocate for my friends. I love many animals, (esp. dogs), classic rock, exercise, and scanning magazine articles. I am a news 'junkie'.

Chaplain

Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital
The chaplaincy taught me to listen, feel, and to try to assist patients to find helpful, possible ways, to deal with their illness, or injury, etc. It deepend my respect fo those over me, and gave me opportunities to attend workshops and gain acces to more ways to be better at my job. The job taught me about hospital guidlines and the responsibilities of others working there. The hospital is to be a place of mutual respect. I was required to document visit with patients, including all safeguards.
