30 caregivers with Stroke experience found near Secor
Strokes occur when a lack of oxygen causes sudden brain cell death. The oxygen deficiency is caused by either a blockage or tear in an artery supplying blood to the brain. Signs of a stroke include sudden loss of feeling and movement in one limb or one side of the body, as well as the loss of vision, balance, and consciousness. A stroke is also usually characterized by a sudden fall and vomiting, and is classified as a medical emergency. After an immediate hospital visit, stroke recovery requires assistance with daily activities, mobility, medications, and communication. Following a stroke, individuals may experience changes in memory, movement, appetite and eating ability, bladder or bowel function, sleep pattern, or judgment. To further the recovery process, caregivers should provide adequate social interaction to help individuals return to normalcy.

I enjoyed it so much and wanted to be able to do more for the residents that I ended up taking college classes my junior year of high school. The redbirds won the state while we were cheering our first year ever. I am a very upbeat outgoing person who believes that it is the patients choice and decisions. I do not force anything although I will highly encourage. I have a lot of patients and take my time. I enjoy seeing people smile and enjoy life and if I can help out at all by at least helping them have a few good days, well then it seems my job is being done correctly. I enjoy getting to know my patients the most and hearing about their lives and what they have went through. It is a very difficult job at times, however, I hold close to my heart all the people that I have lost. I am a proud CNA and would love to help your loved ones stay in the comfort of their own home.

A caregiver isn't a job for just anyone. You have to have special characteristics to provide excellent care, I am honest, trustworthy, friendly, punctual, caring, good listener, patient and selfless. My happiness comes from helping others. As I grew up I took care of myself, as a teen I moved in with my grandparents so I could take care of them ever since then it's always been my dream to help others. Also I have worked in nursing homes and it broke my heart to see how residents are cared for. People seem happier in their own homes so if there is something I can do to help them stay in their home I will do it. Through the years I've had several clients, I have never had a client that has not liked me. I am proud to say that I have brought happiness to other people's lives and provided the best care that I could.
