About Adrin

I enjoy providing a safe and helpful environment to clients. I find it fulfilling to be able to assist some one in need and to help develop a plan of care that focuses on the individual goals/needs of my clients and their families. I became a LPN in 1983 to allow me to fulfill my goal of being in the medical field and becoming a part of the healing process for the sick and elderly. I have over the years been privileged to work with a myriad of clients and their families. From Peds to Geriatrics, I have gained much knowledge and many more blessings while working one on one or in a group setting with these extraordinary people. I have started branching out over the last few years, learning computer skills, MDS and customer relations and learning to apply this knowledge to improve upon my nursing skills.
