I am a caregiver currently working part time at Atria Covell Gardens in Davis, with 2 years experience in elderly care, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care. I was originally drawn to elderly care after volunteering for an Alzheimer's care facility, and have found it a great fit for me. I treat each resident with the dignity and respect they deserve, and ensure that in giving them care, I follow personal preferences, while providing the level of support they need. Companionship is an aspect of caregiving I value the most, especially during this period of continued quarantine, and I strive to make positive connections with each resident I help, going out of my way to check in with them during the day and night.
Caregivers that work non-full-time jobs or irregular shifts can negotiate extra compensation in addition to their standard hourly wage.
