Palliative Care Caregivers in Doss - 3 caregivers found

I have been in the healthcare field since 1993. I enjoy taking care of people and making life easier. I have worked in Nursing homes,Private sitting and home health care. I know how to lift,shower,feed,cook,clean and listen. That's the first part of taking care of someone. Listen to what they need or what even if they can't communicate.

I started doing healthcare since I graduated high school. I first started as a caregiver and really loved the experience of being able to help somebody who really needs it. I have been doing healthcare for about 4-5 years I love the experience of being able to be apart of something bigger to many people they might just see it as something small but to the person or person's that we are helping to them it's something bigger. I also like being a friend to my patients I love hearing their stories of when they were young and how they came to be. I like learning new things and new people and sometimes we come to learn new cultures. During COVID i have learned that being there for our patients goes beyond a caregiver you start being a part of their family which in the end is such a great feeling knowing that your hard work and dedication really matters.

This is a time when many of our seniors lose their significant other, have lost friends and realize they are not far from it. Many have loss ability or function in their body and they need that extra care, tender, love, and a companion. No one wants to believe they are not what they use to be, strong, independent and happy, and struggle to admit they are not where they use to be and they need help. I love to be able to be that little light and extra help they can receive. A simple smile can always go a long way. The feeling is rewarding especially when the appreciation goes both ways.
