About Kristy

My name is Kristy. I have over 10 years working with Alzheimer's dementia Parkinson and just providing companionship to clients in their home or living facility. I like to live their live through their journey of life. I like to see that smile on their face when they do something that they think they can't do.I started during caregiving when I had to help take care of my grandfather who had Alzheimer's. I have enjoyed it every since. I am a kind person and treat my clients like I would want someone to treat my love one.

Skilled in assisting patients with daily living activities, personal grooming, toileting, cooking, feeding, dressing, monitoring vital signs, administering medication, cleaning , laundry, running errands, doctor's appointments and more.

When I leave the Consumer home knowing they have a smile on there face & comfortable NOT TO MENTION SAFE!
