I organically became a caregiver when I was growing up after I had to take care of my own grandmother who was battling Alzheimer's. Being her only grandchild with her children running on very tight schedules, I found myself learning and doing more research in the best possible way to take care of her. Her situation kept getting worse and worse, and I had to get better and better updating myself with the most up. to date techniques. This experience built my passion for providing elderly care, because the kind of bonds I have built with my elderly patients, money can never buy. My experiences have given me understanding and birthed in me great compassion for the elderly.
