Wayne Dementia Care

I have been an RN for 42 years. Somehow, I just decided that I wanted to take care of one patient at a time so that I could ensure a high standard of care and not just what time allowed. I have cared for newborns, children, new moms and elderly patients with and without dementia. Please know that I am well aware of the responsibility that you have given me and I will do my best to meet your expectations . I am very energetic , reliable , available last minute. I have been a Directress of Nursing and Nursing Supervisor. I am CPR certified and very willing to interface with any professionals .

I have taken care of seniors with a variety of medical diagnoses including dementia, cancer, as well as physical challenges. I feel that people in these circumstances deserve the utmost respect, care and understanding. Post Graduate Degree in Special Education. Additionally, I am a state certified Emergency Medical Technician, and volunteer with a local ambulance Corps.

Have experience of working with stroke, dementia and Als clients. My last job gave me most experience of working on electrical and hoyer lifts , on oxygen machine . I can take any client who needs an intensive care and make them happy.

I have worked as a nanny for 5 years and as a senior caregiver for the last 2 years for a woman with early stage dementia. I am leaving this delightful woman as she is going to an assisted living facility. She was a delight and we did all kinds of things, such as shopping, errands, Dr. appointments and playing, her favorite card game. I would love to be a caregiver to someone who would like a gregarious, fun loving professional to be with them on a part-time basis. Please call me on cell for further information. My rate is 20. 00 an hour.

I adore working with the elderly. I have worked with seniors with dementia, COPD, short-term memory loss, and other health issues. My personal philosophy is that every senior should be able to feel important and loved, regardless of their physical/mental condition.

I am a very active 63-year-old women and semi-retired. I have had experience in working with seniors while I was an RN in facilities and homecare and for the past 4 years as a caregiver, social companion and fitness trainer. I have also worked with medically fragile children and children with special needs. Some of my previous clients have had dementia and Alzheimer's and/or need help with errands in and out of the home, socialization and health monitoring. Due to my fitness background, I enjoy helping seniors get in shape, improve strength, balance and walking or other cardiovascular activities. I can take clients to a fitness center for strength training and/or exercise classes or a home program. This is NOT a requirement though, I have experience in assisting with activities of daily living, getting seniors "out and about" in the world, social activities, medication reminders and companionship.

I became a CNA two years ago and was unable to work until this past summer because I had to go back to school. However this summer I worked in the dementia unit of a nursing home. It was the most challenging yet rewarding thing I have ever done. I had to help residents with activities of daily living, like getting dressed and brushing their teeth. I also assisted with showering and using the bathroom as well as making sure the residents were safe and happy. I love to sing so some days, I would sing for the residents and try to dance with the residents who were able. It was nice to be able to connect with them and get them moving. I loved sitting and talking with the residents and hearing their stories. They had so much to tell and it was amazing that they were willing to share their stories with me.

I have had two relatives with Alzheimer's/Dementia and am experienced in being around elderly people with these diseases. I do not have paid experience yet, but am very passionate about this type of position and would love to work as a senior caregiver.
