I've been a registered nurse for over thirty years with a wide variety of experiences in hospital orthopedics, home health (including hospice), geriatric care in rehab facilities and private duty peds and young adults.

Hello my name is Ashley. I have lived out in the country my whole life. I grew up helping my parents at Comitis Crisis Center. I have always been heavily involved in helping the less fortunate in the community. When I grew up I knew I wanted to continue helping people through healthcare. I am patient, caring and compassionate. I have always enjoyed my rotations in nursing homes and rehab facilities. I enjoy helping my patients thrive in their environment. My goal is to help keep my patients as independent as possible. I have helped a variety of patients ranging from disabled patients, cancer patients, rehab patients, and end of life care. My personal achievement I am proud of is completing my Practical Nursing Degree. I am continuing my education to become a Registered Nurse.

I have compassion and a heart for those who struggle, whether it be from injury, illness or just the aging process. I am very attentive and observant to the needs of the people that are in my care. I work very hard and am thorough in my duties. I am also, reliable and responsible. From the time I was little I have wanted to be a nurse. That desire has been cultivated through my life and experiences with watching and helping care for both of my grandparents struggle and pass away from cancer. During this process I spent many hours in hospitals and rehab, observing the caregivers they had and being blessed by the good ones. I enjoy the feeling of helping people in their times of their biggest need, whether it be physical or emotional. Feeling like I can make a difference in someone's life is my biggest blessing. I have recently graduated from high school, having all of my college prerequisites done for nursing school and in the process obtained my CNA and have been working with that in a nursing home.

I am a certified nurses assistant with 20yrs of experience with home health care, skilled nursing to include Alzheimers Wing/Hospice and Palliative care. I work full time with Cochlear Americas as a billing specialist. I miss patient care and would love to be able to help out someone in need around my residence.

I have compassion for everyone, I show it by being reliable, having accountability, fulfilling all duties using my time management skills. I respect patients privacy, and I'm very forgiving while always keep a positive demeanor/tone of voice. I started as a caregiver because it's rewarding, and I enjoy providing support for those who need it the most. My proudest achievement to date is getting a 98% on my QMAP test.

I enjoy the opportunity to impact clients' lives and make a difference to them. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. Person-centered care promotes choice, purpose and meaning in daily life where one is supported in achieving the level of physical, mental and social well-being . This goal honors the importance of keeping the person at the center of the care planning and decision-making process. In person directed care, individual choice directs lifestyle, care, systems and daily routine.
