I have approximately 10 years experience in healthcare as a CNA, and have come to realize that providing one on one care in the elderly individual's home is the most fulfilling and rewarding job for me . The patient(s), in return, are most satisfied because we all know, "there's no place like home!". Especially if you're not feeling well. Not to mention most patients with dementia, cope somewhat better with the disease when they are able to safely remain in their own environment/home when possible. I am CPR/First aide certified. I am a licensed Medication Aid/Med Tech (which trained me how to correctly administer medications, including insulin injections) . So therefor I am pretty knowledgeable with various types of medications and their side effects that may need to be watched for. I have several hours of certified dementia care training as well as hands on experience working on a skilled care, lock down dementia/memory care unit where I worked as a Med Tech passing out medication to the patients. For me, there is nothing more rewarding than working with the elderly to make what short time they have left here on earth is as comfortable, safe, and enjoyable as possible. And to help relieve some of the stress off of the families and loved ones involved in providing care for their loved one. I am eager to provid
