About Theresa

I am a caring and compassionate person, I have worked with dementia for about a year now, and have fallen in love with it and in love with the people that I help. I have always enjoyed helping people and providing them with someone they can trust and depend on, and I love making a change in peoples lives. I enjoy spending time with them, getting to know them, even listening to the same story a thousand times and seeing them smile and light up when they talk about memories and see that someone is listening. I love providing them with care, compassion, dignity, respect, and love. My future goal is to become a nurse practitioner, and open my own facility that provides the type of care that meets my standards.

Experience & Education

Activities Director/Caregiver

May 2021 - Present
Civitas Senior Living
As an Activities Director, I provide enrichment to the residents as well as different activities to stimulate different parts of their minds in order to pull them back from the edge and keep your loved one as cognitive as possible for as long as possible through both cognitive and physical activities--such as exercises, memory games, as well as playing music for them which stimulates parts of the brain and draws out memory. I do this all with a compassionate heart and love for each and every resident. As a caregiver, I provide care and dignity to residents, making sure that they are feeling safe, comfortable, and in control of every situation. I give choices on even the smallest thing to help them feel as independent as possible, and provide companionship as well as care that is unmatched by any other.

Activities Director

Dec 2020 - May 2021
Avalon Memory Care
As an activities director I provided enriching activities to engage residents both cognitively and physically, I provided care and compassion as well as companionship and one on one activities as well as group activities. I became someone trusted--to the point that some residents would refuse showers unless I was in the room with them--and helped with care giving by engaging the residents based on personal details I knew about them in order to keep them calm and content while care was given.

Reception

Jul 2020 - Dec 2020
Riverside Inn Memory Care
As a receptionist, I would help inform families of their loved ones and how they were doing/what they needed provided care wise, this was especially important during the height of the COVID pandemic, I provided comfort to families as well as calls, video chats, and window visits. I then started helping engage residents, growing close to them and helping comfort them when things would go wrong, often I would stay after I clocked out to help them eat dinner and make sure that they were comfortable and happy, which is what in turn led me to falling in love with caregiving and activites.

15 years ago I was in desperate need of a caregiver for my mother. It was very difficult to find an honest, caring, trustworthy person to care for her. I went through several different caregivers, including a family friend that didn't work out for the job. I ended up quitting my job and caring for her till she died 9 years later. At this point in my life I want to be able to help someone that needs special care because I know the negative impact it can take on the entire family when the care of a loved one is not being met. I think the sick and elderly are at our mercy to care for them.
