Hello! I'm Dottie. Families often tell me I bring a rare combination of strength, warmth, organization, and positive energy into their homes. I'm dependable, capable, and someone who naturally takes initiative so families can feel confident their loved one is truly being looked after. For the past 3. 5 years I was the primary caregiver and care manager for a woman in her 90s with dementia. My role expanded far beyond basic caregiving. I managed nearly every aspect of her care and daily life, including coordinating doctor's appointments, medications, transportation, meals, household management, and managing 4 additional caregivers. I have strong experience with Alzheimer's and dementia care and am very comfortable communicating with doctors and healthcare providers. I come from a family of physicians, so I'm very familiar with medical care environments. My longtime client recently passed away peacefully, and her family is happy to provide an excellent reference.
