Experience: 10 yrs
I am an Occupational Therapist with a graduate degree from Thomas Jefferson and extensive education, experience (20 years) and a calling to work with older adults. I specialize in dementia and neurological conditions. My background has given me a strong understanding of the unique needs of older adults and the importance of maintaining their dignity, independence, comfort, and quality of life. I take pride in providing personalized care with patience, empathy, and respect. I am CPR certified, a non-smoker, and drive a safe and comfortable car. I am able to provide reliable transportation and accompany your loved one to medical and dental appointments. I can provide assistance with bathing, dressing, cooking, laundry, pet care, etc. I can monitor blood pressure, oxygen levels, and skin integrity. If hospice is needed, I have extensive experience.
My wife has dementia/Alzheimer's, that was diagnosed at the age 0f 70. I tried for over 2 years to deal with this without any help. I was fortunate to connect with Tina. She immediately became my wife's friend and compassionately cared for her and guided me as the disease worsened. Tina's experience enabled me to prepare for things I would have thought I would never have to deal with. She was focused and determined to do her best for us. We got into a rhythm in caring for my wife . Tina told me when it was time to prepare for placing my wife in a memory care facility. She continued to work with me through the very difficult transition. She was always flexible. She loves dogs.
