I have worked as a CNA and Home Health Aide since 2009. I assist clients in their home with their basic needs: bathing, dressing, meal prep, medication reminders/supervision(crush pills if necessary)and thicken liquids, light housekeeping. I have worked with the elderly with Alzheimer/Dementia, Parkinson Disease, strokes. Also clients recovering from an accident, injuries, and surgeries, hospice, and respite. I help with the clients O. T. and P. T. exercises in the home. I apply non-sterile dressings, ice packs, and heat(when needed, elevate legs, and oxygen. I empty and clean catheter bags, and change night and day catheter bags when needed. I lived in Maine since 1989 and hold a current Maine Certified Nursing Assistant License. I have references from former clients and will share upon request. I moved back to Melrose August 2017 to help take care of my mom. I also hold a current MA. Certified Nursing Assistant License. I have good work ethics, hard working, compassionate.
Arlene helped my 88 year old mother, initially in independent living, then due to medical issues in a rehab facility and assisted living. She was exceptional in how she handled my mother who was extremely frustrated with her health related decline. Arlene has vast experience with the challenges my mother was facing and infinite patience with her difficult disposition. Arlene tactfully challenged my mother to do the work required in the rehab facility and did much more than the facility staff to help her with the exercises, getting her back to being able to take care of herself and regain her mobility. Arlene tactfully pushed the staff to provide better and more specific care to meet my mothers needs and hasten her recovery. Arlene continued to to do everything she was doing for 7 weeks in the rehab facility after we moved into assisted living. She has strong medical skillsets and truly loves helping elderly folks which played the key role in my mother's recovery.
