About Helen

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a caring, compassionate, loving Christian woman that is semi-retired. I was born and raised in the United States, but I do speak, read and write German fluently. I graduated college as a Certified Medical Assistant, and subsequently became licensed. I worked at an orthopedic surgeon's office for many years. I am able to converse well with physicians, therapists, and all members of medical staff. I comprehend all medical terminology. My training is equal to an LPN, but I also have my CNA. I pride myself on having extensive experience assisting senior adults who value their own independence, and the ability to retain that independence with some assistance by: Providing transportation to medical care facilities, running errands Meal planning, preparation, light housekeeping Providing stabilization and assistance walking, light physical therapy, etc. Please contact me to talk about how I can best help you and/or your family member.

Helen was my mothers caregiver for many years. The last few years my mothers dementia was increasingly severe and Helen was both caring and effective in caring for mom. She did everything necessary to keep mom's quality of life at as high a level as possible.
