I believe that a caregiver's job is to provide kind, compassionate and intuitive care to those who need it, ensuring that each client feels as comfortable as possible in an environment that most closely resembles home. Individuals under my care should not have to ask for generic everyday needs. Instead, I try to anticipate their needs so that they maintain a comfort level similar to that they experienced as an independent. Completing the activities of daily living (ADLs) should not be considered a job for the client. It is important to make sure each individual feels they are living within their "means." Meticulously record any manifest/verbal indications of bodily and/or psychological changes [that may indicate latent illness]. Precisely, accurately, expediently report observations to supervising nurse or practitioner. Enthusiastically encourage physical activity as permitted/outlined within physical therapy and/or occupational therapy guidelines. Distribute medications as prescribed. Concentrations: Parkinson’s (including PD with dementia) and Alzheimer’s. General experience: ALS, cancer, diabetes, quadriplegia, stroke, vascular & heart disease, patients recovering from hip replacement and back surgery.
