About David

1) My career in photo labs had all but disappeared. My friends told me a career in home care was growing. So i went to school to get a license as a CNA/HHA. 2) It's great to help people stay in their own homes and feel comfortable that there is someone to take care of their needs. 3) That a 90 yr old man, who did not want a caregiver, finally accepted me, and i worked with him for 3 years, before he passed. 4) i have just returned to the Skagit valley after 14yrs in California. i miss the NW. I enjoy the camping, the abundance of water, and my old friends and family.

    Caring for her husband, who had 3rd stage dementia, while she was teaching at school. At first it was just companionship and reminding him of medications and appointments. Later it was helping him dress and shower. Making his breakfast, lunch and prepping dinner for him and his wife. and finally it was full care in his daily ADL.
