Post Surgery Recovery Caregivers in Stonewall - 25 caregivers found

I was 15 years old and just started my freshman year of high school when I was placed in a class called Intergenerational Studies. For 2 hours each day I was taken to the nursing home called Golden Years there in Elgin, Tx. I started off just getting residents from their rooms to come and do activities with me. But it wasn't long and I was working side by side with CNAs, RNs, and at one point the DON had me shadow her for 2 weeks. I just got really interested and a few years after graduation and having my son, I pursued a CNA certification and was assigned the hospice hall and the "lockdown unit" which was occupied by the more violent patients and those with conditions such as Alzheimer's and/or parkinson's, as well as those with behavioral health conditions. I honestly just fell in love with everything about caring for the elderly. Even the hard and very emotional side of the care I provide is something I wouldn't want to stop doing. I would love to get my CNA back but just haven't attempted to do so since my husband passed in 2011. Since my high school days I have worked with all ages of people, from a 2 year old little princess to a 98 year old gentleman I referred to as Fred Astaire due to them looking like twins. He loved it and would smile so big when I walked in every day; and every day he would say "Good morning Ms. Judy (Garland). You feel like dancing the day away?" It's things like that for which I love my work. Please feel free to ask anything, I would love to tell everything now but there is just so much I've been blessed to have experienced with so many different people I'd never be done.

I started over 10 years ago at a local nursing home here in Fredericksburg, TX. I fell in love with how close you get to the patients like learning about their interests, hobbies & about their families they loved so much. I cared for each & every patient as if they were my own family. I love the sincere talks & the laughs & the time I spend with each & every single patient I worked with. I also learned alot from my alzheimer's & dementia patients. It's a day to day adventure that I welcome gladly. I have experience in hospice care as well as home healthcare. No matter where I worked I learned something from each place & each wonderful patient I had the privilege to come in contact with. Now I hope to be of some help to you to bring my patient & outgoing care to you.

I feel I can relate to some of my clients on a level that is important to me because of my prior experiences with taking care of my mother for 9 years. This is also what attracted me to caregiving and just the fact that I can help people feel better as a person. I enjoy every aspect of caregiving and my heart is totally in it. A personal experience is the things I can learn from them and especially the older ones and their stories.

I am an EMT and have always loved taking care of people especially the elderly. I took care of my mother who had ALZ in a facility until she passed from Covid. I especially love taking care of end-of-life patients.

Hi. I am a retired RN with 26yrs experience. I have experience in acute care, home health care, hospice and long term care. I have also worked with Alzheimers/memory care patients. Vast nursing knowledge in post surgical care, medication management and comfort care.

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.

I love be a care giver . I love helping and providing companionship

I've been a caregiver over 35 years and was caregiver of the month for July for home care assistance I've taken care of very high and patience
