Mason Thurston Lewis for Disabled & Aging

I took care of a very young man who was and became a quadriplegic as the results of a diving accident swimming with his friend at the lake. I wasnt eith him to long because he was a big boy, strong, & dtermined. Even tho he couldnt really move he could move me out of hes way. We had to find him a more appropriate caregiver.

I was a caregiver for 6 months after I separated from the navy. I worked with 3 very kind ladies in a house. One of the things that enjoyed the most was really feeling like I was continually improving the quality of their lives. There so much that needed to be done that the 12-hour shift just flew by. I take the time to learn clients' personalities and reciprocate what I believe they are looking for. I'm very big on clarification and communication. One of my clients had early onset dementia that was very advanced, one little to no speech, and one was completely wheelchair bound. Despite this these ladies were a pleasure to work with and I effortlessly treated them with the utmost respect & empathy. It was a pleasure to work with these ladies and I diffidently appreciated how excited they would get when I walked through the door. Looking to get back into a career path that allows me to be fulfilled as well as isn't continuous high stress.
