Care-giving that spans a lifetime, because it's my nature. Providing care in both home and facility settings. In the personal realm, I helped raise a well-adjusted and good human, who has herself become an exceptional mother. We welcomed a first grandchild, in 2016, who is the light of my life, the second in 2019, a sweet/tart little spitfire, and are expecting a third soon! Such a joy! In the mid-1990s, my sister and I operated an in-home daycare, so we could have social time for my daughter. We were new to the area, with no connections and limited resources. That was a busy time! In the early-2000s, I subbed in an Adult Daycare/Work Center and associated group homes, for developmentally disabled adults (Counterpoint, Inc). I've also volunteered with Eagle Mount. When my daughter was 3-1/2, I began working on a BS in Environmental Science. It took a little extra time, but I got it done in 2003. I worked in industry for 12+ years, before my next caregiving "gig". In 2016, we learned that the cancer, put in check in 2012, had returned and metastasized, in my Grandfather. It was always my plan to care for them, in this stage of life. I spent much of 2017 teamed up with my Grandmother. We made it through. My Grandfather died at home, surrounded by his wife and children. In addition to metastatic lung cancer, he experienced Lewy body dimension. On returning home, I worked as a Life Skills Trainer, in a group home for adults with traumatic brain injuries (Liberty Place). The individuals served are medically and psychologically complex. I experienced crisis situations with two residents, was able to support them, help them stay safe, and both made it through. Services included medication management, scheduling, transport, and advocacy, in addition to help in relearning life skills and providing recreational opportunities.

Hi I'm victoria Farris a.k.a Tori. I have been a home health aid since I was 16 and well i'm 33 know so as you can see I have a lot of experience In this field. I have completed my associate's degree in healthcare administration and know attending school for my bachelors degree in healthcare management. I have worked in different facilitys and homes with patients with mental disability, alzheimer, hospices care, dementia, and so on.. I love to help others be able to live out their lives in happiness remember the good times and keep them alive and going. My grandmother adopted me she raised me to be the best i can be and when she got sick from cancer I continued to help her their it all as she helped me. Me and our family did everything with her all the way till the end where she died peacefully at home in her bed because she had a dnr. My mom showed me that you have your whole life to live and you live each and everyday as it is your last day and you share your love and you help others cause some people dont have that love giving to them so therefore they don't feel loved and care for and they may give up. I just want to continue to care for others and show them they are loved and they can still push thru and have a happy life ahead of them.
