1,582 caregivers with Stroke experience found near Grand Prairie
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.

1. What actually makes me a great caregiver is my willingness to serve and I believe it's my calling.
2. I became a caregiver because, I have great compassion for individuals in need of personal one on one care.
3. Their are several reasons why I like being a caregiver. The first reason is that I am able to be there for individuals that are in need of help. Another reason I enjoy being a caregiver is because, My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and after the cancer went into remission shortly afterwards, she was diagnosed with dementia. I eventually had to move her into my home and I realized how self fulfilling and rewarding it is to serve others with sincere humility. I feel that as a caregiver each individuals that I care for should receive the best of care, compassion, and the best quality of care that life has to offer.
4. My most greatest achievement is yet to come because, I'm looking to achieve more tomorrow than I have today. Life is a lifelong learning process and when you think that you have achieved your greatest achievement there is still room left for more improvement.
My name is Diane! I'm a mother of three and a grandmother of seven. In the year of 1979 I was a caregiver to my terminally ill grandmother. After she passed away in the year of 1980 I then further my education in health field to learn all I can about caring for the elderly. I attended a class in 1981 after she expired and I've been working in a he field since. Also in 2013 I for a caregiver for my Mom when she passed away in May 2013 and a caregiver for my daughter in 2013 when she flatlined and still her caregiver. So this is a passion I've had since I graduated in 1976 and still do the best in it. I have outstanding references upon request!

What makes me great, is the love, compassion, my loyalty to my clients and family. Everyone has a calling, a purpose in life. And for me is helping, giving and sharing with others.

Just to know they know someone really care.
