Tracheotomy / Ventilation Caregivers in North Fork - 4 caregivers found

Hi my name is Tina and I have been a caregiver for over 16 years. I started after taking care of my grandma who had lung cancer. I also took care of my mom and dad before they passed away this year. So I have a compassion and a passion for the elderly and their families! I have experience with dementia patients. Memory care, daily hygiene, cooking and preparing meals. I have experience with dialysis exchanges. Diabetes care, wound care and transferring. I do love to work with the elderly and do it as if I'm working with my own family.

Devoting most of my time to the care of someone else is one of the most selfless things someone can do, but it's not only about the time involved. Being able to understand the person you're caring for, knowing their problems, challenges and desires will not only make it easier to care for them, but will undoubtedly improve the relationship you have with each other. Empathy is a big aspect of that, and being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes and be empathetic will only increase the quality of care you're providing.As instrumental as caregivers are, communication is key. It can be something as simple as going through the day's schedule, or complicated as discussing health concerns, but no matter what it is, it must be done well. Subpar communication will do nothing beneficial for the relationship, and in fact, could damage it. Furthermore, as it's likely there's more than one caregiver in the individual's life, and because of all the moving parts, communication is key to get information to all the relevant parties. Whether it's relaying health information or just remaining congenial, communication between caregivers is important, second only to communicating with the individual.

Hi my name is Tina and I have been a caregiver for over 15 years. I started with caring for my own grandma that had cancer. After she passed away I felt led to help others that needed my help as if they were my own grandparents! I have experience with dementia patients and very difficult patients. I have experience with diabetic patients taking blood sugar and giving insulin. I do housekeeping and run errands. I assist with hygiene showers and dressing. I prepare meals and assist with feeding. Most of all o have compassion and feel as though this my calling to help the elderly.

My name is Diana Halvorson. I spent over 7 years providing care to my husband, who passed in late 2019 of cancer-related issues. I did not have much help during that 7 years because we lived in a remote, rural community. I would like to help other people in a similar situation so they do not have to deal with this alone. I believe my most purtenent traits that will help me in this endeavor is my patience and calmness under pressure. I enjoy making people feel that they matter. The love I receive from my children, both human and fur, are the achievements I am most proud of.
