About Karen

Experience: 7 yrs

As a proud mother of two grown, educated daughters and a former nursing home Activity Worker, caregiving is my true calling. I am looking to partner with families to care for their loved ones residing in senior facilities, nursing homes, or assisted living communities. My past experience as an Occupational Therapy and Activity Worker gave me hands-on expertise with Dementia, Parkinson's, and specialized care needs. I excel at keeping facility residents engaged through daily Reality Orientation, mental stimulation, and heartfelt companionship. I understand how a facility operates and know how to advocate for your loved one, monitor their well-being, and communicate updates clearly to both the family and nursing staff. My goal is to preserve your loved one's dignity, keep them socially connected, and give your family total peace of mind.

For over 5 years, Karen provided over-the-top care for my 95-100 years old mother. She not only developed a deeply personal relationship with my mother but also with our whole family. Her professional expertise, creative wholistic caring-giving, and irreproachable integrity, not only highly qualify her for senior care, but also set her apart from others in her profession.
