Planned medical therapy for patients. Scheduled doctor's appointments and rides to be picked up and dropped off at the home and doctors office. Supervised bank accounts.

Showing compassionate need for the individual struggling with aging. I began this career by watching my mother suffer from dementia symptoms, I felt the desire to give her the best possible care in her last years of life.
