About Gwen

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am very excited to learn more about your family needs. I have always been a caregiver throughout my life and after my formal education, decided to make it a career after my first case. I have years of experience from companion care to high skilled cases working with medical teams and Rn's in the home. This has allowed me opportunities to learn very intricate procedures, use of medical equipment and maintain daily logs to track progress. I am a very patient, kind, mature and an optimistic woman hoping to maintain and offer comfort and quality of life to your family. Through the years, I have been an advocate that home is the best place to live out the golden years and have implemented tools and options to help the families do so. I hope to meet your loved one and see how I can assist in making these years comfortable, peaceful and joyful.
