About Candy

I became a homegiver because I love working with people and it allows the people to stay in their own homes and get the care they need and it also gives them their own peace of mind. I love going to the house and talking with the patient and hearing stories about their lives but most of all I love to see them smile and laugh knowing they are in the comfort of their own house. I was proud of a patient that was brought home and the family really thought their grandmother wasn't going to make it after being in A nursing and the meds were changed and she started to became her old self and I gave the family 4 more mouths that she might not have had. I'm very caring and compassionate about others. Everyone always asks themself way was I put on this earth and I truely believe mine was to help others.. I wear my heart on my sleeve because I do get attach to my patients but to me they are family.
