About Tricia

I have been a Certified Dementia Practitioner since 2014. I have extensive experience with Special Needs and Seniors (since 1987.) I have had been lucky enough to work with the elderly since (1987.) I started assisting people at a job for the State of Michigan as a certified CNA in 1990. Using this certification to work in a group home with 6 Special Needs Seniors for 5 years. I have always worked as a caregiver of some kind. In 1995 I switched gears to work as a live in caregiver for a disabled young lady with Cerebral Palsy. In 1997 I moved to Texas and started working with clients at a Assisted Living facility. I was responsible for preparing meals, ADLS, (personal care), Running errands, Performing light housekeeping, Med Pass, Companionship, Encourage Daily Health & amp; Wellness, Social programs, Bathing, Eating, Bathroom facilities, Dressing, Walking and ROM. I am now a Certified Activity Director & love spending time with Seniors.
