Tracheotomy / Ventilation Caregivers in Briggsdale - 5 caregivers found

My name is Frida, some of my strongest personality traits are being able to communicate with people around me, I uplift others, I always encourage everyone to be there best self's and love being able to make people smile. When I was younger my grandparents struggled with diabetes and I remember always being there with them mentally and physically so ever since then i've wanted to help others who couldn't do everything by themselves. I enjoy bonding with my residents and getting to know things they like and dislike just to make everything more comfortable for them and me.

I like being hands on and it is a good call. I just like doing it.

I became a caregiver because I love helping others. My passion is to help other live the best life they can. I am caring, compassionate and will go above and beyond to assist my clients to live their best life. I became a caregiver because I grew up with a mom who was a caregiver. I went to work with her and helped out with activities at the age of 12. My personal achievement would be, that I've been doing this for 15 years and I'm not ready to quit.

I have 12 years experience I love my job

I Mary really enjoy my career as a homr care provider, I became even more interested after working as an medical assistant along side Dr. John R Shaw. We had several geriatrics as our patients, it was then as I observed the struggles some had even getting to our office. Dr. Shaw unfortunately passed away a few years after I working with him. So at this point is when I decided to dedicate my skills and began reaching out to Seniors. I truly enjoy getting to know clients and really enjoy the stories, memories, looking at photos with them from their past. It's very interesting & fun. I feel very good at the end of my day, knowing I made my client (s) happy and to feel that they feel safe,comfortable, secure. Is a great feeling to go home with. A professional achievement I can say will l ways stick with me, is when I assisted Marie when I began with her she was bed-ridden, wouldn't eat much if at all. I immediately began communication with her daughter and stated I felt perhaps she was taking to many medications in one sitting, and throughout the day. Well it began with her daughter bringing over all medications and we sat and went through each one. At is point I discovered that she was on some medications that where for the same diagnosis.. Some to lower and some to higher. So we begin pulling the ones I suggested to her daughter that should be taken way, weaned off of etc. Long story short we went and visited her physician and started with removing some etc. What a difference she began making progress, We got physical therapy to come into the home I continued to assist on a daily with her exercising. And she began to walk with her walker once again! Her appetite & over all health improved. She began attending her card games at the club house, played bingo etc . It was a wonderful feeling for me knowing I got her outta being bed- bound.
