About Allison

I offer my help in order to improve my client's sense of well-being. This means that whatever I do should empower the person I'm helping to do what makes them feel worthwhile. If I help too much, my client misses out on using muscles they need to be used to stay self-sufficient. If I help too little, my client feels stymied by their circumstances. I am inspired by and enjoy seeing people heal and function at their personal best. This sense of reward motivates my staying present while caregiving.

I have been a go-to person to assist client with tasks that challenge her balance, hearing, eyesight or strength. I speak into the phone according to her instructions on the days or for the calls when her hearing aids aren't sufficient. I'm conscious not to assume her agency or misstate her message in the process. I can sometimes find mislaid items when the search is too difficult or taxing. I input grocery deliveries and Amazon orders and troubleshoot the computer and email. I pick up and put out mail, place recycling on the curb, take out the trash, stow items in upper cabinets, take the cat to the vet, prepare meals, find her inhaler, water the landscaping and provide transportation with her walker. At times, I am the companion needed when pain or medication cause brain fog or imbalance. I have helped her up when she has fallen and taken her to the emergency room and doctors' appointments.
