Pamala T.

I am currently Residential Services Coordinator at Mary T. Inc, and I am a Professional Direct Support Staff, (DSP). Paul Both is so kind, passionate and professional caretaker or giver with Christian rich background knowledge and expertise about how to work and care with Alhzeimer patient. Duties: Scheduling, administration of Medications, appointments and outings in the community. Why I do this job: I have a great passion for suffering people and I have great love to help people from their suffering they might experience because I have been in a great suffering myself when I was in a refugee camps many years ago. I believe I am a great caregiver because I love people, family, Community, and I care deeply for people or about God's people, because I always reminded myself about where I come from and I normally put myself in people's shoes too. Also, I have been working as a nurse assistant, social worker, Missionary, and teacher for many years and I am still doing it currently. I am also a family man and beloved uncle everwhere I go. More importantly, I have the great love, and respect for God and his beloved Son, Jesus Christ and God's people. Above all, making someone day happy and making people smile is my chief goal and my top priority.

I am happiest and most fulfilled while caring for others. I fell in love with nursing in 1978 when I started my first job as a Nursing Assistant. I found that I was not only doing a job, I was caring for a person with an extensive life history that I could learn from. People who had family who loved them but were no longer able to care for them. I went on to get my LPN in 1986 and finally RN in 2012. I have provided care in Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Centers, private care in homes, Home Care through agencies and have cared for my patients and their families with integrity and compassion. Aging parents have caused me to reevaluate the need for flexibility and the availability to now also provide care for them. This means the typical nursing block schedule is no longer a good fit for my families needs. I will continue to provide compassionate care for others but it will look different than it has in the past.
