About Ashley

I became a caregiver because my brother has Autism and I had a friend who was working with a client who needed some extra help in that area. I began to love taking care of people and soon started to work in a facility with Assisted Living/Memory Care residents. I loved getting to know them and taking great care of them made me feel good about what I was doing. I am very proud of the quality of care and respect I give every client and being able to excel in what I do. When I left my most recent Caregiver position, I had moved into the Lead Med-Passer position and was looked up to by most if not all of the staff as well as the Nurses I worked closely with. I have been out the the healthcare field for a little over a year and I regret that time away. I really am supposed to be caring and serving others and want to have that opportunity to do that again.

    My decision to become a caregiver came from personal experience. A few years ago my mother became very ill suffering from a disease that caused extreme weekness and rapid onset of dementia. It was fortunate that I could be there to help my Dad take care of her many needs. To give him a break I went to their home almost everyday, I learned firsthand how important the caregiver roll is to a person or family in need. After my mom passed, I became a volunteer at a nearby assisted living senior center and chose to work in a memory care unit. That experience cemented my desire to work in the senior care field. From there I left my career as a Medical Lab Tech and became a caregiver. It has proven to be very rewarding and in some small way brings me closer to my Mom.
