About Barbara

Experience: 10 yrs

I have worked with seniors much of my life. From October 1986 through October 2008, I owned and operated a successful health club with my husband. I was a senior adviser for the health care program. I designed and implemented fitness classes for seniors and worked with members who had Alzheimer's. I moved to Ohio in 2015 and have been doing care giving ever since. It is my calling! I have done in home hospice, and early, and mid-stage Alzheimer's care. I just recently finished a two year position where I was a house manager/personal assistant in addition to head caregiver for a lovely woman. I have experience with catheters, feeding tubes, cancer treatments, pain management, stroke rehab, Parkinson's, and wound care. I can bring a whole team of experienced caregivers with me to lighten your load. I believe that seniors have wisdom that only time can produce, and I have always felt honored to be a part of their care.

During one of the most challenging times in our lives, we were incredibly fortunate to have Barbara as a member of the team to care for my mother in the final months of her life. From the very beginning, she demonstrated not only deep professional knowledge and skill, but also an extraordinary level of compassion and emotional intelligence. Barbara consistently treated my mother with dignity, patience, and kindness. She took the time to understand her needs—both physical and emotional—and always approached her care with a gentle and respectful demeanor. Whether it was managing medications, helping with daily routines, or simply offering comfort through conversation or presence, Barbara did it all with quiet grace and unwavering dedication. Our family was also deeply grateful for the way Barbara communicated with us—clearly, calmly, and honestly. We always felt informed and supported. She became not just a caregiver, but a source of strength and a member of our family. Words can never fully express our gratitude for the peace and comfort Barbara brought to our home. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a compassionate and capable caregiver for their loved one.
