About Tara

Hi there! I'm Tara and I've been a care giver for 5 years. I am a team player, compassionate, always learning, and love helping others. Compassion is the most important quality when it comes to caring for others. I specialize in Senior care and have 2 years experience with Alzheimer's and Dementia. I've handled medications, ADL's, housekeeping, and strive to create relationships with my clients/family. I got my CNA (expired) when I was 17 in order to begin caring for others and start my experience with the medical field. I hope to finish my Masters in Health Administration at PSU. I enjoy cultivating relationships and improving the quality of life of my clients. I am most proud of participating on a discussion panel for The Oregonian on Memory Care. We discussed better ways to support our seniors and the caregivers/support roles we need.
