About Candy

Experience: 2 yrs

Engaging In-Home Activities Director & Senior Companion I'm passionate about supporting adults and seniors and creating meaningful connections. Inspired by my grandfather's dementia journey, I became an Activities Director and earned certifications in dementia care, aromatherapy, and CPR, all of which enhance my work. I provide engaging activities-music, dancing, singing, light exercise, gardening, games, and memory-boosting exercises-and assist with errands, shopping, and light housekeeping. I'm patient, compassionate, and detail-oriented, with experience handling behavioral changes and incorporating memory care and sensory activities. I truly love spending time with seniors, learning from them, and having fun together. I build trust, respect independence, and honor each person's history and preferences. Caring for your loved one would be like caring for my own family.

During my acquaintance with Candy at an assisted-living facility, where she served as the Activities Director, I was struck by her commitment. Her drive to grow professionally and gain certifications is fueled by a true love for her work and the people she serves. Candy possesses an exceptional ability to engage seniors, particularly those with Alzheimer's and dementia, and to build relationships with not only them but their families. She shows a personal interest in each resident, ensuring that every activity is enjoyable, meaningful and relevant. Without any reservation, I highly recommend her as an in-home Activities Director and senior companion.
