Hello, my name is Lisa Adamik. I became interested in becoming a caregiver when my parents became ill and needed assistance to stay in their home. My father suffers from dementia and overall weakness. My mother, who was his only caregiver for years, now needs help herself. She suffers from diabetes, neuropathy, immaculate degeneration, restless leg syndrome, just to name a few. I have done much research and have had a good deal of experience dealing with agencies that assist the elderly, so I understand how hard it can be to find someone caring, competent and trust worthy to help take care of your loved one. This is why I decided to do much of the work myself. I have been looking for a line of work to get back into that would be rewarding and that would have some flexibility with hours. I plan to continue educating myself and achieving certifications in this field in order to be of more assistance to my employers. Thank you for your consideration!

My greatest strength as a caregiver is the sincere compassion that I will devote to your loved one. My first experience in geriatric care came when my grandparents became ill and required a hospice nurse. Taking on that role allowed me to develop an intimate understanding of the personal needs of my patients, foremost among them being the dignity and respect with which I believe every human being has an inherent right to recieve throughout the later stages of life. I was honored to help facilitate a hospice plan that allowed my grandparents to live and ultimately pass away in the home that they shared together, regardless of their advanced illness. I am proud to say that I am staunchly committed to bringing the same level of dedicated quality of care to all of my patients. I treat each individual under my care as if they were my own family, and pledge to do more than simply attend to their physical and ambulatory needs - I always ensure that my charges are given attention and conversation; kept engaged in activities and pastimes that they enjoy in order to promote a happy and fulfilling lifestyle in spite of their individual limitations. Working with the elderly is a constant reminder to me that there's no acceptable reason that people shouldn't be empowered to live well and retain as much independence as possible as they age. I welcome any challenges that circumstances may present. I hope to be given the opportunity to devote my love and unwavering support to your loved one, to share my outgoing personality and love of life with them, to foster a safe and healthy environment for them, and to have fun as well!
