I became a CNA in 1994 and have worked in home health ever since. I also became a Certified Behavior Instructor which has greatly opened up my understanding of Dementia. With my past training and work experience I have become, what many have said, a specialist in Dementia home care. I understand the importance of a ritualistic schedule and structure to minimize confusion, agitation, and anxiety. I am passionate about my work and require dignity for my client at all times. I feel there is no better calling then to be there in the later part of life to give the highest quality possible. I pride myself on being able to answer all questions pertaining to palliative or hospice care scenario. I also provide the family peace of mind and help in understanding the changes their loved one is currently experiencing.
