About Dorothy
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi there! I am a senior care companion with over 15 years experience. I have assisted seniors with daily living tasks such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, medication management, physical therapy, mobility assistance, dressing and grooming, prescription pick up, doctors appointments, grocery shopping and companionship. I double majored in Psychology and Women's Studies. Therefore I am an excellent listener and empathetic and compassionate companion. I have cared for seniors with dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, stroke and heart attack survivors, TBI, congestive heart failure, OCD, depression, anxiety, partial paralysis, hospice care and kidney disease just to name a few. I am a very reliable, trustworthy, and patient individual with integrity and ethical character. I embrace my relationships with enthusiasm, positive energy and an open communication. It is imperative that I provide seniors with a comfortable, safe and healthy living environment.
Most recent review
We hired Dorothy to assist my aunt with kidney disease. My aunt at that time was very active and able to do basic things on her own. Dorothy assisted with medication management, dressing, meal prep and they would go shopping together. Eventually my aunt was on hospice and Dorothy was wonderful with the process as she has had previous experience. She was a great support to my family especially my mother. She was always available and flexible and understanding as we needed her help more as time went on. She also took a bunch of photos of my aunt and had a photo book made that was filled with wonderful memories. She’s a gem!
