About Carrie

Hi! After witnessing my mother's decline with dementia in an assisted living facility, I KNEW I could provide better care to the aging with more compassion and intuitiveness. I followed my heart to become a caregiver and took the 75 hour training required by Washington State to be a licensed Home Care Aid. I felt this would attest to my professionalism, commitment and integrity toward the care I could offer, and DO offer! I truly love my job. I am respectful, calm, attentive and a good communicator. Listening and understanding are important for everyone involved so I like to keep notes and communicate by phone regularly and often with family and others. This is in the best interest of the client-a loved one aging in their own home. Because of my experience I often have suggestions to help make things easier for the client to stay in their home more comfortably, safely and sometimes more fun! I'm very resourceful! I work well as a team member- whether it be with the family or as a member of a caregiving team for the client. I have a strong work ethic and great sense of humor (and the discernment to know when to apply it!).

Private Care For Seniors

Caring for a man with dementia after he returned home from a rehab facility following a hip-fracture. His wife has mobility challenges so there are multiple care needs throughout the day. He is in decline, late stage dementia and is needing increased care. During my shift, I attend to his mobility, dressing, hygiene, meals and medications, monitor his liquid intake, assist with transportation to and from appointments, and assist in calming and diverting him during his anxious and agitated states.
