About Orlanda

Hello, Carelink members. I have enjoyed a diverse career in education, senior care services, and business. I took early retirement in 2012, and I have plans to move to Federal Way, Washington in 2017. My foundation for providing superior customer services include being reliable and trustworthy; maintaining an outstanding personality; adhering to a business practice of only committing to what is achievable; ensuring that I clearly understand employers' policies, adhering to jobs' details; and, performing all tasks as agreed. My driving record is spotless, and I don't drink, smoke, or have any responsibilities that would distract from the job's requirements. During my career, I found that my most rewarding job experiences related to my volunteer work with seniors; therefore, after retiring, I seek work that is linked to their care. Lastly, my leisure activities include skiing, gardening, fishing, and reading. Thanks for reviewing my post; I look forward to hearing about your senior care needs. [ Warmest regards, Orlanda Haynes]

Family Caregiver

Dec 1999 - Mar 2004
Parents
I cared for my mother till her passing (Cancer, Alzheimer's patient/non-ambulatory). In doing so, I acquired real-time knowledge and experience about cancer and Alzheimer's stages, causes, and symptoms. The crisis inspired me to research and understand other common senior related illnesses (e.g., diabetes, respiratory diseases, musculoskeletal: osteoarthritis (inflammation of joints due to wear and tear), osteoporosis (bone loss), gout, loss of muscle mass, fractures). That research led to further studies on hormonal issues including diabetes, high blood cholesterol, dementia (Alzheimer, etc), Parkinson's disease, strokes, poor vision, hearing impairment, and balance problems, in addition to visual conditions (e.g., macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes and hypertension related eye disease). Another aspect of my mother's care included working with various medical staffs. In essence, I acquired in-depth knowledge about patient's support services and enrollment requirements and procedures.
