About Joyce

I am a former teacher of special needs students and have always enjoyed working with the elderly in many of my part time jobs. Now as a semi-retired teacher, I enjoy providing in home health care to elderly people to help them stay as independent as possible in their own homes. My personality is positive and bubbly, and some people say "I bring sunshine wherever I go". I enjoy listening to peoples life stories, and sharing my stories too. Caregiving with elderly folks comes natural to me, and I enjoy knowing I am making a difference in their lives as well as giving their families peace of mind. I have worked with both male and female clients, and also have several years of experience in hospice care. My heart is being a Caregiver!

As a licensed practical nurse I believe health encompasses the whole person and their support network. Without a sound support network you have a weakness, if I can help fill that area to give a better foundation of support to an individual and their network of support, I am more than willing to do so. I have always wanted to challenge myself to do more for my community, by helping others with their daily activities I feel I am bringing some semblance of independence and dignity back to those who may feel as though they have lost those critical pieces in their lives. This in turn brings back a piece of our community, making it whole once again. In my personal life I enjoy learning new skills. I tried my hand at gardening this summer and was able to grow plenty of food which in turn lead to me learning how to can some foods.
