Palliative Care Caregivers in Troy - 3 caregivers found

Hello! My name is Lori. I am a mother of 4 (almost grown) children, and a daughter of one elderly parent. I have been a Physical Therapist Asst. for 29 years. My mother suddenly passed in 2017. My father has severe dementia, and in her absence, there existed a need for someone to care for him. I fulfilled this role for some time, until the inevitable, appropriate time came for me to return to my family and life back here in Missouri. I personally experienced the process of seeking a suitable caregiver for my father, to help maintain the lifestyle that he had always known. I didn't think that it should be difficult to find this person (people). But, it was, especially in a small rural KS town, considering the financial resources available. I discovered a passion for in-home caregiving. I have been blessed to be able to continue caregiving since that time, and have worked with several wonderful families. I am reliable, competent and compassionate. It is my desire to continue caring for those in need.

I have worked in Home Healthcare since I was in high school getting paid to take care of my grandpa! That really sparked an interest in me to take care of others when he passed away. I have over 10 years experience. I am a mother to 2 beautiful children. My son is nonverbal autistic so I also have extensive experience with that.

One of my greatest passions are caring for others. I have been in health care for three years now and I have loved everyone of my jobs. When in my free time I help with a daycare, ride horses, and look for ways to better myself. I am going back to nursing school in August 2018, to further my education. What I have loved most about all my jobs is seeing the smile and my residents/patients face when I know I am helping them they way they deserve to be help. I love seeing my patient progress in their daily living activities, I love seeing them achieve the goals that we both know they can do.
