About elaine

I have been a caregiver my entire life, yes even as a teen. My grandparents lived with my family growing up & they both had dementia & Alzheimer's. In my adult years I have done private home care for many families. I have worked at a number of assisted living facilities. I have the patience, compassion, & experience needed for this type of caring, which is much different than most. My family is now grown & I have much time to spend on helping others. I go to visit the assisted living facilities just to be company for the residence and I see everyday how important that is to each and every one of them. I have taken many of them for rides to calm their life when I see they are upset for whatever reason it may be at the time & I find in all cases that really does have a calming effect for them as their minds go in another direction. I have what I call & others call perfect common sense with the residence & elderly population that I feel is so important and necessary. I am very much able to adapt to circumstances as they arise. I am a loving person to them with a sense of humor that is always needed I have found. I have 30 plus years experience in this field. I have found them to have a loving compassionate side but not always able to show that without it being given to them & I am able to do that. An important factor to caring for them is to be able to become in their frame of mind at that time. The innocent age they have has to be lived through them in the present.

The quality that makes me an excellent caregiver is my compassion for my patients. As a patient, it's sometimes hard to accept that they are not able to be independent anymore. My goal is to make them feel comfortable and let them know that it's ok to have a trained medical professional help them with their daily activities. My warm approach allows me to do my work without having my patients feel like they are a burden. I let them know that they are my number one priority. I am consistent with upholding quality work. I have worked in nursing homes and private home care. I use my experience and apply it to my work to ensure that my patients are always getting quality care. The most important quality that I have learned through my experiences in working as a nursing assistant is listening to my patients. Learning more about them gives me a connection into their lives and ensures better work from me.
