My background is in long term care. I have worked as an Activity Director for more than 10 years. I have also worked as a private caregiver/housekeeper/cook. It is the responsibility of the Activity Director to assure a quality of life, regardless of physical, mental or emotional status. I have been trained and educated to respond to patients with special needs, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease. In addition to my training and certification as an Activity Director, I am trained in nursing rehab and feeding assistance. I am also trained in the preparation of therapeutic diets, i.e. diabetic, mechanically altered, and pureed diets. I am comfortable providing personal care as well, such as bathing, dressing/grooming and toileting needs. I am willing to be responsible for monitoring medication administration.
