About Lola

Experience: 3 yrs

I started my career with the elderly late in life, when I realized I needed something more fulfilling, more real. I received my CNA certification from Wesley Nursing Home and remained there for only 1 year as I could not give the residents the attention they needed and deserved. I have worked for 3 individuals privately and each with their own personalities, needs and emotions. My last lady was the longest and hardest being I was with her for 8 hours 5 days a week with dementia. It is a terrible disease and you just go with the flow and redirect as you can. The care that was given was patience, love and kept her safe. I cleaned, did laundry, ran errands, took her to doctors appointments, made meals, and watched after her faithful canine companion, among other daily activities.

Lola was the primary caregiver for my mom who suffered from vascular dementia. This often meant my mom was in a different mood and cognitive state day to day, sometimes hour to hour. Lola went with the flow and just continued to love my mom. She helped my mom with quilting and with her flowers and birds - all things that were so important in keeping my mom engaged in her creative life. I was always confident that my mom was in excellent hands with Lola - this gave me immense peace since I do not live locally...she managed situations and kept us informed. Lola was with my mom until the end and even came after her passing to help pack up her home. Lola was loyal, beloved family to us and we were so grateful to have her on my mom's care team.
