About Desiree

When I was a teenager my grandmother became very ill and as a family we decided the best course of action would be to have her come live in our home with us. We were able to receive services that came to our home to feed her or clean up or give her a sponge bath but we never seem to be satisfied with the caregivers we received and I continuously found myself doing the work myself to make sure she was happy and comfortable. I then realized that I had a passion to help people who could no longer help themselves. I became a caregiver because I saw the the impact that my one on one care and attention provided my grandmother with when she wasn't feeling well or was simply having a bad day and needed cheering up. Over the years I have come to realize that in my opinion the best place for an elderly person to be is home or in the home of loved ones..I also realized that help from experienced professionals is also needed. As a PCA one of the things I like most about my job is helping someone or a family come up with a tailor made plan of care that works best for everyone.
