About Michael

In my father's later years he was diagnosed with dementia. Faced with a difficult decision of placing him in a facility or taking on the role of his primary care provider I choose to do it myself having an extensive medical background, degrees and certifications. When my own mothers health was failing I did the same for her. I know the pain of watching loved ones decline in health and the suffering of the family who has to watch it. I pride myself in the love and compassion I was able to give my parents in their end years and it is my mission to give each and every person who needs care in these critical years the same level of professional and emotional care. My goal is to complete my nursing degree, currently I work as a cna at a rehabilitation and long term nursing center. I have worked as a cna and a med tech for various facilities including Alf's, hospice, limited mental health, rehabilitation and long term nursing centers. Also have certificates and extensive training in alzheimers and dementia care Loving professional care is the mission in my life.
