About Kimberly

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Care for a spectrum of needs for those facing: Dementia Alzheimer's Limited mobility Nonverbal communication Dietary restrictions -- for health or religion End of life Blindness, palsy and other physical challenges This has by far been the most rewarding work of my life. I have a deep care for those whom I serve while respecting the dynamic of their homes and families. I have often been told that I have a knack for helping patients to progress when others have faced challenges. I attribute this to creative problem-solving, observance of non-verbal cues and understanding psychology that is often behind patient obstacles. This may be as basic -- and yet as important as -- determining whether a client may be more inclined to eat nourishing foods or rest if we were to first address hindrances such as bland food, an uncomfortable utensil or pillow, physical discomfort or anxiety. For those who are unable to communicate, it is my duty to anticipate their needs wherever possible.
