About Alice

While working on my Bachelor's Degree in Biology and Secondary Education at Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ, my paternal grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. Having been a certified home health aide (while my children were young), I was the natural choice to care for my grandmother. While caring for her, I studied everything I could find on dementia and attended care conferences and symposiums in the tri-state area to learn as much as I could about the disease process and adaptations for care. When she passed away in 2005, I began looking for career options working with this very special population. I have been an Assisted Living dementia programmer/trainer/support group facilitator ever since. I have also had extensive experience with hospice, MS, dementia, and paraplegic care through Bayada Nurses, Inc. in Toms River, NJ. I have been a resident of Danville, VA for 4 years now; transferring to a sister building of the same assisted living facility that I worked for in NJ. In October 2014 I completed my Bachelors Degree in Human Services and Gerontology, summa cum laude, from Kaplan University. My goal is to become a fulltime dementia programming teacher; training healthcare providers, community service workers, lawyers, doctors, and emergency care providers.

Certified Home Health Aide

Bayada Nurses, Inc.
In between my Assisted Living Facility experience, I moved to a new county in New Jersey (2008 - 2011). During this transition, I became certified as a Home Health Aide for Bayada and carried a workload of 6 cases, 3 days per week each and hospice work in the evenings and overnights as well. These cases were exclusively dementia, MS, paraplegic, and hospice cases. Within my first 6 months, I earned a certificate for excellence of care, and only left this career when the opportunity to return to Assisted Living Dementia care came available in Ocean County where I was living.

I especially enjoy geriatrics and the mentally challenged. I am a caring and empathetic person by nature. I listen more than talk.

She is no trouble to bring on overnights or longer shifts.
