Palliative Care Caregivers in Helena - 2 caregivers found

My name is Teri Betz. I live in the north valley area of Helena. I am married and have several furry creatures residing with me. I started in care giving while working at Opportunity resources as a case manager for developmentally delayed adults. My mother-in-law, who was 100 moved in with my husband and myself and needed 24/7 assistance. I was med certified and developed a medication list that we and respite providers could follow, My mother-in-law, Tish, needed personal care with bathing, skin and hair care, medication, dressing, laundry, toileting, food assistance and diet planning. she needed to be monitored for falls. She was also developing dementia and had "sundowners". Tish was a wonderful, gracious lady and a privlege to care for. My husband and I were very sad when she passed away at 101 years old. It was through caring for Tish that I found my calling in caregiving. shortly after my job ended at Opportunity Resources, I began working with Home Instead. I had two clients there and both were delightful! Care give ceased during covid. I currently have one client now for several hours one day a week. I enjoy caregiving. I enjoy working with elderly! and I especially enjoy hearing my client's life stories.

I have been a caregiver for 15 years. I have worked in skilled nursing faculties, group homes., I have done personal care in and out of homes also. I am very enjoyable to be around and always have a positive attitude. I am a very hard working and honest person. I love visiting with the people I care for and getting to know them. To me being a caregiver is far more then a job. Knowing that I am helping someone and enriching there lives is such a great feeling! I was born to be a caregiver and I do it well! I have been certified in phlebotomy and am current with my CPR and first aid. I have taken MANDT training and had my cna license for 6 years.
