About Mary

-I recognize the fact that seniors are very proud and want to maintain dignity in every area of their lives for the rest of their life. I give 100% of myself to ensure it happens the way they want it to and never super impose my life's philosophy on them. The little things of old mean so much to seniors and I provide them what they need to feel confident and safe; giving them the ability to trust that I have their best interest at heart. If my senior is not comfortable with a suggestion I will never force it. -I became a caregiver to give back to a special class of people who have taught me so much about life, giving, and the restoring of things that others give up on. Seniors have lived and have such a rich history that I love to hear about. My life is richer because a senior took the time to teach me about right choices and decisions. -I like being a caregiver because I love making a difference in the life of individuals wanting to maintain as much of the full quality of their life as possible; without interruption. It's an accomplishment and a great reward for me. -A personal achievement which I am very proud of is giving a client the confidence to push forward and never give up on things she loves doing; getting her hair and nails done, playing bridge, making those doctor's appointments, and entertaining at the tender age of 86. My ability to motivate her and get her where she wants to be; even when she doesn't feel like it, is one of my most proudest achievements.
