As patients came in via Medic I gathered necessary information to identify the patient. Started account and banded the patient.

If none found the patient became a Jane or John Doe. I then had to somehow wait till patient able to give a name then search our data base or if had name of friend or family contact them. I generated the aging reports for outstanding balances for the accounting department to continue the procedures.

Hi I'm Ateka, I've been a caregiver for 10yrs. Working as a caregiver is very fulfilling as I enjoy seeing my clients happy and healthy. I believe that you should always take care of those who can't help themselves. In my country of Ethiopia I took care of senior citizens. We believe that the elderly should never suffer nor go into Nursing Homes to be alone. My hope is one day all people who need assistance will be able to get the quality care they need and deserve.

Hello, my name is Elisa I am 59 years old
My caregiving started in 1995 , as my Mother became ill , I knew she would want a high level of in home care that I would personally be able to provide. As her illness became more advanced , it was important to me that she be able to stay in her home where she would be more comfortable. A few time a week turned into every day, then several hours a day. My Mothers wishes to be at home in her time of need was fulfilled . And it was a blessing and a honor to be there for her.
I found myself wanting to give other families the same opportunity my Mother was given. I continued working closely with other families as well as with the IHSS of King Co. from 1995 till 2001.Then in California in Contra Costa Co. From 2002 - 2009 then , I returned back to Washington State where I have continued my work with private families.
I am available to start giving the best care to your loved ones or yourself and give the same opportunity to remain safely in your home.
