About Kelvin

I love taking care of people. I started back at the beginning of the HIV/Aids epidemic taking care of friends and their families. I have always been a caregiver. first for plants, then people. My main expertise is with Alzheimer's, ALS, MS, and other terminal and long-term care diseases. My focus is on comfort and management. Not cure. I have a wide range of skills from 30 years of in home and facility care for both men and women. My personal philosophy is that we are all given the greatest of care when we are born. We care nurtured and protected as infants. I believe we should receive this same care at our end of life stages. Give the same compassion and care. Over time this has become my method of care for all my patients and their families. It doesn't matter who you are or what your condition maybe. We all deserve the right to a gentle and peaceful end. This is why i have centered my focus on Hospice and Palliative care.
