About ELSA CARDENAS

Hi My name is Elsa I am 59 and I have plenty of experience working with elderly patients I was a caregiver/provider for my mother for many years. At first I only worked for 24 hours a week then as her health declined I went up to 34 hours a week. I would cook for her and help her with her bathing and grooming also cleaning and laundry. I would also take her to her doctors appointments and with her medication schedules. When she was no longer able to live by herself I decided to become her full time caregiver instead of placing her in a nursing home so I moved in with her and took care of her until she passed. I also have worked as a provider for my aunt that has heart disease and currently I do respite hours for my 30 year old niece that suffers from a mental disorder. I had to brothers that used to live with my mother that became disabled one after suffering two strokes and another one who was on dialysis and started showing signs of dementia so I would also help them when their providers would be done with their shifts.
