Experience: 10 yrs
For several years, before transitioning to private caregiving, I provided case management while managing teams of residential staff who along with myself provide in-home, companion, and personal assistant services. I work well with individuals who want routine support (grooming, bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders; companionship, activity planning, community engagement; making and keeping appointments, etc). I work well with individuals who need exceptional support (special meal, behavior, and safety plans; incontinence needs; mobility support, augmented communication, etc). I am an advocate for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and families. Safely operating standard equipment for mobility and transfer, bathroom and toileting, airway and oxygen support, bed and positioning, etc. Dementia Capable Care Specialist. End of Life Doula. Hospice Volunteer. Registered EOR with the Consumer Direct Care Network.
I relocated while recovering from leg surgery and found Emily when my assistant became unavailable. Emily is professional. She never missed a day. She had other clients and those schedules never interfered with mine. With her support, for several months, I kept all medical appointments, did weekly grocery shopping, had two outpatient procedures, explored my new community, and was able to visit family in the next state. I have regained my independence. As a retired Registered Nurse, I highly recommend Emily.
