Flower Mound Dementia Care

Being a senior caregiver is a heartwarming and rewarding experience for each of us involved, from building our relationship on trust and dependability to sharing the joys and sorrows of life changing events. After graduation from high school, I went on to Moorpark College, Bryman Nursing School and Peninsula College. I graduated Bryman with honors and worked with doctors as a medical asst. before joining a nursing staff in convalescent care. My education and professional training as a nurse assistant included; using health equipment and supplies needed for patient care, proper positioning to protect from bedsores and numbness, how to dress, feed, and bathe comfortably as well as how to observe and assess needs and quickly manage care with my cool, calm demeanor. I have vast experience working with people recovering from a stroke, have Diabetes, Alzheimer's/Dementia or Parkinson's which has developed my skills and has given me a personal passion to help meet some of our seniors physical, emotional and social needs so that they can remain in the comfort of their own home as they age. Listening to the life stories my clients enjoy telling me, and sharing in the good memories they have is a delight! It also helps me to better get acquainted with their interests and encourage them to continue in the lifestyle they are accustomed to. We build a close, lasting friendship that strengthens us to endure hardships that aging might bring our way. I am an athletic and energetic woman that enjoys outdoor activities, so when appropriate I enjoy taking my clients outside to keep them interacting with others and experience the world around them which helps to stimulate their mind. I fully understand that people who have lived a full life but are now limited in what they can do on their own, need someone willing to take them out for walks or drives, understanding their emotional and mental needs along with their physical needs. It is a pleasure to see them happy, and laughing with them, and seeing their enjoyment as we share in the simple pleasures of daily life. This is an endearing bond of friendship that lasts a lifetime.

*15 years in-home care for dementia and Alzheimer's ailing Mother-in-Law. *93-year-old Mother currently in-home care (Primary caretaker) Recently nursed her through two hospital visits and major surgery. *58-year-old Sister in MHMR Foster Care (McLennan County, TX). *In the past 12 years I have nursed my husband through two open heart surgeries and 12 trips to the Cath Lab and one bariatric surgery. The above personal experiences have given me knowledge of some of life's medical and mental needs that require special attention. Luckily, I have developed a curiosity and willingness to make a difference in my loved ones' quality of life. I am now in a position to share this steadfastness and pursue my outreach abilities. In my opinion, life is good and I can very well share my services to enhance someone else's situation.

I have assisted with my own grandmother for many years in the forms of laundry, taking her for walks, running errands/grocery shopping for her, meal prep, cleaning, driving her to places when her license was revoked, assisting her when she had broken her knee and more. I have the patients that comes with caring for elderly people as my grandmother has dementia. I also know how to check blood sugars and blood pressure as I have to do it on my own grandmother regularly.

I used to work in a hospital laboratory. I have basic medical knowledge. I took care of my father when he critically ill. I also took care of my mother for extended time. She had a fractured femoral head at the age of 85, a lung infection during the recovery, and I have been accompanying and caring for her in the hospital and at home. After she was discharged from the hospital, I assisted her rehabilitation training so that she could gain the ability to take care of herself again. My mother developed mild dementia at age 89 and was hospitalized. I took care of her until she passed away.

I love caring for seniors. They have so much to offer the world. So many great stories and lessons. They are so wise. I love helping them make their older years the best years. I am currently helping my family take care of my 76-year-old grandmother who has dementia. I love driving her around and helping her in any way I can. I have been helping care for her for about 2 years.
