Palliative Care Caregivers in Fernley - 6 caregivers found

My passion is working with the elderly. I am honored by the families that put their trust in me to care for their loved one who may be on the final path of their life requiring Home Hospice care. or is at that point in their lives where assistance is needed in order to continue staying in their home, being as independent as possable, staying safe. My commitment for each and every person is to provide them with companionship, assistance with physical needs and whatever else they need, whether it's writing a letter for them, or baking their favorite cookies, straightening out closet shelves or holding their hand, reading a book to them or just sitting quietly with them. I believe it is ao important to pocess tthe traits that are important in caregiving which are flexibility, willingness to sit still when you notice its what the person you are caring for needs. Paying attention is very important. A caregiver cannot just "be there" I keep logs in order to ensure the Doctor and nurses and family are notified of ANY changes such as skin color, urine intake/out take, bathroom habits, signs of weakness, facial changes, depression/mood changes. If bedridden, log needs to include turning times, any skin breakdown issues, A good caregiver needs to go outside the box, be willing to do what otherwise might be uncomfortable, be drama free. Assisting the family is one of the things that helps them know who I am and relieves some of the stress from their lives. By helping doing even the smallest of details, yardwork, cleaning a garage etc. I promise you that I will make the same commitment to respect, never diminish their dignity and do all I can to provide the stability, comfort your loved one deservesI I did not become a Caregiver to change the dynamics of lives. but to be there to make them feel safe, healty and secure. Compassion goes a long long way.

I have been a caregiver for over 8 years, I worked for a Senior Care Center for a little while before moving to South Lake Tahoe in 1989, as a CNA, I had 2 daughters and put my career on hold to raise them. I worked in a medical office for 5 years prior to taking off 3 months to care for my terminally ill sister. It was then that I realized caring for others was my calling. I quit my corporate job and started my caregiving career. I have always had a special love for the elderly community. Bringing a smile to their face and giving someone love is just so rewarding and fulfilling. I am loyal and very trustworthy and very hard working. I can't wait to meet your love one.

I am a caring and loving individual by nature. I've always helped others as long as I can remember.

Hello, my first name is Wendy. Thank you for your interest in me as a caregiver. My caregiving experience spans over a period of more than fifteen years. At a very young age my interest in nursing the sick and injured back to health was very apparent to both me and to my family. It is a calling that has never left me. For me, being in service to others is the most rewarding thing I can do with my time. It fills me with a sense of purposefulness. The skilled caregiver I am today was developed over time; through a lot of hands on experience and through continued education. This wealth of knowledge and my many acquired home nursing skills are a combined product that I bring to every one of my clients. When I care for someone my goal is always to leave that person feeling better in their mind, body and spirit. Some of the skills I am proficient in are: * wound care * medication reminders or management * CPAP & respiratory treatments * feeding tube * toileting & dressing * mechanical lifts (Hoyer et al) for non- ambulatory patients * meal preparation * bathing * housekeeping * pet care & cleaning * errands - shopping, prescription pick-up etc. * companionship & positive conversation * memory care
