About DEANNA CARMELA

First and foremost, I am a mom & a compassionate daughter to my knight in shining armor. For the most part, my background has been administrative, however, very early in my career I was a Certified Home Health Aide for 3 years. My responsibilities were mostly for adults with disabilities & included personal care, vitals, range of motion, meal prep, errands & companionship. Later in life, when my daughter was very young I worked at her day care with the 18-24 month group. There were lots of smiles watching them grow and testing their independence. My responsibilities were, diapering, meal prep, lesson planning, cuddles and making learning fun! In 2020 I left the 9-5 and went back to my love; caring for those who have slowed down in life. I have had the privilege to work with a 93 yr old woman with vascular dementia and a 93 yr old woman who requires a hoyer lift transfer in and out of bed. Currently, I am blessed to work with a remarkable centarian, whom I brag about any chance I get. And a smart and vibrant 26 yr old with SMA. Working privately on a daily basis, I can provide personal care, wound care, grooming, medication prompting and administration, meal prep, laundry and companionship. I have provided transportation to Dr's appointments, shopping excursions, trips for ice cream, as well as driven an Abilty-mobile van to and from parties and even summer camp. My clients become my mission. They are treated with respect and dignity

family #1
Personal care for a 93yr old woman with vascular dementia. We made breakfast and tea together. We read the newspaper and watched movies, and I would encourage going for walks as the weather and mood allowed. I prepped lunch and dinner foods. It would be anything from simple sandwiches to pots of nutritious soups that the whole family enjoyed. I encouraged daily showers as her balance would allow and made sure her laundry was washed and put away. I left them in November of 2023 when she got covid and RSV simultaneously, and was admitted to the hospital. (Her daughter-in-law is a respiratory therapist and unfortunately brought home lots of germs) Upon her discharge, her family felt they needed 24 hour care and hired a live in.
