Bringing comfort and support to seniors is my calling. For the past decade, I've had the privilege of assisting adults and seniors with personal care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, physical activity, and medical management. I also provide respite care. My graduate degree has given me a strong foundation. I'm passionate about supporting well-being and independence, and I strive to make a positive impact in the lives of those I care for and their families. I'm patient, compassionate, friendly, and empathetic. I communicate with families through verbal updates and regular texts or phone calls. Earning trust is very important to me. I'm experienced in adapting to changing routines, de-escalating stressful situations, and handling confusion or agitation. I am also comfortable around pets. I find immense joy in creating meaningful connections and providing reliable care. I'm eager to learn how I can bring peace of mind to your family.
Jennifer (Jen) took care of my wife for three months. During that time Jen was responsible for a variety of areas throughout the day. Including meal prep, meal assist, dishes, grocery, and supply ordering, administering meds, housekeeping, and of course adhering to my wife's needs throughout the day. That included getting her up and ready for the day, laundry, attending to her bathroom needs, showering, note-taking, assisting with day visits to get her hair done or family visits. Would give recommendations to improve my wife's comfort. Jen would take her out to the patio, play her favorite music, sit with her, visit, making her laugh, smile, or make comical comments. Jen would help brighten my wife's day bringing the best out of her. Jen was always very caring, showing compassion and love for my wife, along with giving support for me the spouse. Jen always had my wife in her best interest. My wife was in a state of dementia, had a stroke leaving her with paralysis on her right side.
