About Janet

I have worked with the elderly for over 10 years in group as well as individual settings. Establishing a friendship with the person or persons I work with is my first priority. I will treat your loved one like family because I understand how precious he/she is to you and know that trusting someone with their care is difficult. Reliability is paramount in this field, compassion a must. Your family member will be treated with the utmost respect. Most of my employment specialized in Alzheimer's and dementia care. I realize how hard it is to handle having a loved one with this disease, and will do my best to ease and comfort both the individual and their family members through this challenging time.
