Experience: 10 yrs
Caregiving has become an important part of my life. I took care of my mother-in-law for 10 years. I also cared for my mother who had Alzheimer's for 5 years. All of this lead me back to school to become a Certified Nursing Assistant and complete my Masters in Gerontology from Concordia University Chicago. I am also a Certified Dementia Practitioner and a Community Educator Volunteer with the Alzheimer's Association. I would like to use my experience and education to make a difference in the lives of my patient and their families.
Doreen is an extremely compassionate and thoughtful person. Her work ethic is strong and she is definitely someone you can depend upon to provide the utmost care for your loved ones. Her experience both personally and professionally in supporting and caring for aging family members is exactly the right combination of sensitivity and capability I would choose for my own family. She is reliable and trustworthy, able to quickly relate with her clients and connect with the person inside the patient. Additionally, she is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and passionate about delivering warmhearted dementia care. I hold Doreen in very high regard and endorse her wholeheartedly in the caregiver role!
