About Frances

I am a retired RN and worked for 20 years before retiring early so I am very confident in a caregiver position. Being a caregiver comes naturally to me as I like taking care of people and helping them with whatever they need so they can continue living as much as possible independently and with dignity. After my early retirement in 2000, I became caregiver to my husband when he suffered a mild stroke in 2008, to my ailing mother in law who had dementia and a feeding tube in 2012, and to my grandchildren when they had to undergo multiple surgeries, the most recent of which was in February 2015 to repair a heart defect. Former coworkers, patients and friends describe me to be highly competent, professional, and kind, some of whom are available as references. I believe that proper care, remaining active, kindness, compassion, and companionship are very important to achieve good quality of life, especially among the elderly, things that I gladly provide my patients and friends. Being of older age myself, I appreciate the elderly and treat them with utmost respect for what they have accomplished and are still able to do in life.

    Caregiver

    Aug 2006 - Feb 2015
    Personal Experience
    In 2008, my husband suffered a minor stroke, and I helped in his rehabilitation, monitored his blood pressure, and reminded him of his medicine. In 2012, I took care of my ailing mother-in-law, who had dementia and a gastrostomy tube. I monitored her and talked with her, prepared meals, administered medicine, and managed her feeding tube until she died in 2014. In 2006, my first grandson was born with cleft lip and palate, and I helped my daughter in the feeding and, after the reconstructive surgeries, in pain management and wound care. In 2011, my other grandson was born with a complex heart defect and needed multiple surgeries. His latest surgery was in February 2015, where I helped my daughter in feeding, wound care, pain management, and gastrostomy tube care.

    We all have a need to feel valued and loved regardless of our position in life or our age. I seek to serve and assist, to laugh with and encourage these valuable ones who have lived so much life and who have contributed in both seen and unseen ways to our families and communities. I see caregiving as a way to give back....bringing heartfelt joy to people and helping....I can think of no greater job. I would love to talk with you and discuss how I can be of help for you and your loved one. Also would be happy to provide references . I live near Bel Air, and would love to connect and assist in the Bel Air/Fallston/Abingdon area.
