Alicia S.

I have been a Certified Nursing Assistant for over 30 years. Part of that time I was a Medical Assistant. I became a caregiver originally to help family members, and found that I enjoyed it so much that I made it my career. I am most proud of the fact that I make lives better and increase the social life of my clients.

eternalyouth4all@gmail.com I have worked as a Private Home Health Care Provider for Seniors for over 20yrs. I worked for Dave Robinson who was the Supervisor for Senior Citizens Health Care in Olympia for many years. My Specialty is with Dementia/Alzheimer patients. I have provided companionship, cooking and light housework, plus shopping. I have found that giving patients \\"Special Quality\\" time in the comfort of their home or natural surroundings is of the Greatest Importance to Seniors who are faced with the challenges of Dementia/Alzheimer. I have worked with increasing their abilities of Brain Function through artwork, reading to them, chair exercises, singing their favorite songs and playing games. No matter what stage of Dementia they are in I love to encourage calm, peaceful, and fun interaction. I am open to providing home health care for those who have other needs as well. I have cared for those with Parkinson's, Strokes, and Quadriplegics. I have several references if needed. I am ready and available to work, anywhere from 48 to 72 hrs a week, as a live in private health care provider.
