About Mandi

My name is Mandi McFarland. I'm 43 yrs old and I found a love for home healthcare 9 yrs ago when my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's! My grandfather had passed 10 yrs prior and she lived alone. My parents asked that I take care of her from 8-4 daily while they worked and they could care for her at night. As she progressed I learned more and more about this horrible disease and thrived as I cared for her. She passed about a yr and a half later but I valued what I learned while caring for her. I waited a few months after she passed and found a job as a care giver. I have worked for a few companies over the last 9 yrs and several patients on an individual basis. Most of my patients have had dementia/Alzheimer's. I have had a blind patient and a few with heart diseases and kidney failure as well! Some have been very verbal and others were not verbal at all and I managed to establish a wonderful professional relationship with my patients and their families as well. I am a very personable person and can create a friend very easily. I love to take care of people and prepare their meals etc. one of my favorite things to do for my patients is prepare their meals and clean their homes. They deserve quality meals and a clean place to lay their head at night and spend their day! I believe that because my grandma was my first ever patient I learned right away how to treat any and all patients. Growing up you always learn that grandma deserves the upmost respect and with that being said she was cared for extremely well and I carried that on with me to all my patients! I have helped patients smile when they were feeling blue and have gotten patients to eat when they had no desire to do so. I am able to get patients to participate in activities with me most often and I love that I am able to do that.
