Austin Memory Care

I have wonderful references from past families I have worked for. I have done memory care, hospice and most types of care-giving, familiar with most types of COPD related devices, Hoyer lifts etc. I have background done by Accushield Verified. I currently have a client, But wanting to fill in more hours around that schedule,

After working as a nurse for many years I retired and decide to go back to school for a new career. I graduate in December with a degree in Therapeutic Recreation ( 4. 0 GPA) which provides me an valuable insight to providing a quality of life for elders who may be house bound or just in need of quality companion care. I have an abundance of resources for a fun therapeutic day. Ive learned that when a senior is engaged in routine therapeutic activities he/she is more prone to being present, happy and engaging with day to day family. I work with puzzles, music, and games So many struggle with the emotions of caring for elderly parents. And it really can be a struggle. I will listen to the stories you have heard a thousand times, intently, and engage conversation. I know how to interact with a person with memory concerns. And. we will laugh and have fun. I am available for part time companion care presently, and after December will be open for working with a family full time.

I cherish authentic connection with the elderly and have been exposed to the Alzheimer's and Dementia population at a young age and throughout my life. I have volunteer and paid experience in diverse settings, and an educational background in Recreation Therapy. My experience with this unique population has helped me develop patience, humility and compassion and for this I am truly grateful. I am a gentle caregiver with a focus on nurturing creativity and a sense of self efficacy, encouraging physical activity and LAUGHTER for integrated health and well-being. I also love to cook! I look forward to meeting you and your loved one.

I have a master's degree in speech language pathology and I have 3 years of experience caring for the elderly. I've cared for clients with language, memory, and mobility issues due to dementia and stroke. We would work on word retrieval, short term recall, and cognition as well as physical therapy carryover. I help clients with dressing, meal prep, light housekeeping, and getting to appointments. In addition, I provide companionship. I'm warm and engaging and want to make our time together enjoyable. I'm also punctual and professional, looking to care for your loved one as you see fit.

Experience assisting patients with MS and memory issues. I am confident I can pay attention to detail and assist with caregiving and household tasks.

I am an experienced senior care provider, specializing in dementia care, memory care, overall patient health care. I've been a health care administrator for 25 plus years. COVID compliant, I wear a mask, social distance, wash hands regularly and I stay home with my husband.

While I am new to senior care myself, I grew up spending a lot of time with my Grandfather at his memory care facility playing games and visiting with other residents. It is what initially sparked my love of Senior Care and assisting specifically with Alzheimers and dementia patients. My mom was also a live in nurse for an Alzheimers patient for 10+ years and that family became like a second set of Grandparents to me. I have a heart to serve and I can't wait to meet you and your family! I can help with Transportation Services, Medication Management, Companionship, Meal Preparation, and Light Housework. I am CPR certified, have my own transportation, and have volunteered at a Youth Camp for 3+ years helping with medication distribution and first aid. I'd love to meet with you to discuss your family's individual needs!

Three years ago I started volunteering at AGE of Central Texas, an organization that provides care and activities for older adults. I worked with the Memory Connections team to provide daily activities (music therapy, art therapy, bingo, etc) for Alzheimer's patients. I continue volunteering with older adults at the Austin VA Outpatient Clinic where I have been volunteering the last year. I truly love listening to people's stories and learning from all the adventures they have been on throughout life.

Hi! I am a UT Austin Nursing student who is graduating in May 2021. I have experience in the clinical setting with medication management and administration, bathing/dressing, feeding assistance and assisting with other ADL's. My grandparents live with me so I have plenty experience with interacting with seniors. My favorite ways to connect with seniors is to ask them about past memories or to ask them about their favorite music (we often have music taste in common!). I would consider myself patient, outgoing and a quick learner. I hope I can be of some help to you and and your family!
