About Larissa

Hello! My name is Larissa - located in Shermans Dale but willing to travel. I currently work as a caseworker, however prior to this I worked for over four years at Country Meadows Retirement Communities. I started my time there as a personal care associate in their memory support unit, where I learned to interact and understand those with various forms of dementia. I developed a love of caring for those who have memory support needs and took a position as the memory support dynamic living associate. In this position I helped created and carry out activities for the unit. I have loved making my residents laugh and smile every day - I miss working with the elderly and learning about their lives/accomplishments. I am Validation certified - a program dedicated to learning how to communicate with those with dementia. I look forward to meeting your loved one and ensuring they receive the best care!
