Hello, My name is Sue and I have been a senior care giver for the past 30 years. My role as a caregiver began when I was in my 20s caring for my Grandmother then my parents. My love for this job has taken me to many patient homes and a caregiving agency. I find working directly with the patients' family much more rewarding because I feel it is so very important to directly know the needs of the patient and the family wishes for their loved one. Also, as a home caregiver I feel it is so important to have the loved one remain comfortable at home. I have worked the past 15 years directly with Dementia and Alzheimer patients. I have attended numerous workshops and classes that address the special needs of these patients. I have also worked with several Hospice agencies while in patient homes, While caring for your loved one I provide safety, companionship, meal prep, medication reminders, light house keeping, personal hygiene, transportation to Doctor visits and errands.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
