About Alganesh

I became a Caregiver because I have always been passionate about the health and happiness of others, especially the elderly. There are two things I like about being a Caregiver. One is the reaction I see from my patients after taking care of them. After working hard to find the cause of a patient's discomfort, I am satisfied seeing them at peace. The second thing I like is the impact of treating the whole person. It is important to not just rely on medical procedure, but to understand the emotional and mental well-being of the patient. I carefully observe and communicate with the patient to make this happen. As an example, there was one patient at an assisted living home who did not get along with any of the nursing staff. Nurses would always be assigned to her, then removed after one day, because she was uncomfortable. After I was assigned to her, it became a permanent assignment. Being a careful listener and treating her with respect and kindness paid off, and I was happy to have not just a working relationship, but a great friendship with her, too. After 15 years of providing extensive care to geriatric patients with a variety of needs, I have developed the skills to effectively handle any situation. Having raised a successful son for 18 years as a single mother, I know the difference true caring and concern can make.

    Artelia Muntz, A private duty caregiver since 2004. A personal achievement I am so proud of. I love being a caregiver, it was a gift from God. I lost my mother at an early age, so I had to grow up fast. I raised three sisters under the age 18 years old and got them through high school. Prior to caregiving, I owned and operated a hair salon in Houston Texas for more than ten years. I came to Dallas, Texas in 2002. God revealed to me that I was needed as a caregiver for Seniors or whomever needed me. I started working as a caregiver in 2004 and I loved it. I have taken care of most of my clients for three years, plus or until the end. I love motivating my clients/patients to want to keep on waking up. I love to see them smile and be happy to see me when I arrive. My past clients/patient have become like family to me. Thank you, Artelia Muntz Thank You
