Somers Nursing Assistants

I am a CNA currently enrolled in CCSU's Nursing Program. I got my CNA certification in July of 2017 and have been working in an assisted living facility working with residents with Alzheimer's and dementia. I am interested in working in home care as a change of pace. I love working with seniors and love being able to give back and learn about each of their life stories.

I believe the elderly population is sorely overlooked in our culture. I have been a geriatric nurse for over 20 years and I value so much about this group of people. Respect, care, medical treatment, and attention are just a few of the things the elderly deserve. They were young once too and contributed to the generation that came before us.

Over the past 24 years my elderly mother moved in with my family and I. Throughout the years of living with us I became a large role in her life after her health started to decline. She suffered from multiple cancers, heart failure and diabetes. Instead of taking her to a nursing home I took on many of the same rolls which they would have provided her. I assisted her with all of her medical and personal needs such as: taking her required medication everyday at the instructed time as well as giving insulin, checking daily vital signs such as blood pressure and sugar levels, cooking meals and helping with her hygienic needs, transportation to and from doctor appointments and hospital visits, translation when needed (she only spoke Polish), and mostly I was there for companionship. After this experience I had realized I would love to provide any assistance I can to help others in need.

My name is Joshua. I'm 27 years old, and I've been a caregiver for those in need for a little over five years now. I'm looking for full-time work, though I'm also willing to accept part-time work, or respite care for another caregiver. I only ask that I'm given at least 24 hours of notice in advance. I got my start in the care giving field back in late 2009 through a private home care agency. I worked with them for a little over two years taking care of people in their own homes, and in a nursing home setting. From late 2010 until January 2014, I provided semi live in aid to a gentleman bound to an electric wheelchair, who can be reached via my reference information. I also have experience with Alzheimer's disease/Dementia patients, and patients with limited mobility (e. g. those who may be confined to a wheelchair, bedridden, amputees, and the like). I also do light housekeeping, laundry services, preparing meals, playing games (board games, card games, memory games, etc.), medication reminders/setting up pill boxes, checking basic vitals, providing transportation to/from doctor's appointments/groceries/other errands, and providing general companionship. I'm CPR/First Aid/AED certified, and WMD/Terrorism Awareness for Emergency Responders certified.
