This is a criminal background check required for all caregivers before they can message families.
I spent the first few years of my Nursing career briefly in the ICU, then ER, then spent 17 years in the Operating Room in Saudi Arabia. I am certified both in BLS and ACLS. Nursing assessment and management have become almost instinctive to me which enables me to anticipate my patient's needs. I came to the US to become the sole caregiver of my spouse in her kidney transplant journey, then helped my mother-in-law recover from her multiple medical issues, which developed my passion in geriatric care. As a caregiver, I aim to incorporate productive activities into my patient's daily lives thru arts, music & socialization. I ensure accurate medication and monitor for adverse side effects. My attention to detail helps in tracking doctors appointments and follow ups. I provide consistency of care by involving the family via regular updates to keep everyone informed. I am known for my calm demeanor and being flexible to adjust in any give situation.
Abby helped care for my mom during a very difficult stage of her Alzheimer's disease. My mom was easily agitated and combative, but Abby was so patient and genuinely caring, as if my mom were a member of her own family. She has a soothing voice which helped my mom stay calm and she could read my mom's needs, for example if she was hungry or tired, even though my mom could not communicate it herself. Because of her nursing background and close attention to my mom, she noticed subtle changes in my mom's behavior that indicated other medical issues. She was reliable and communicated effectively with both me and the staff at the facility where my mom was living. I felt confident my mom was in good hands with her. I would highly recommend Abby to care for your family member!
