About Maggie

Experience: 20 yrs

With more than 20 years experience as a caregiver, I'm deeply committed to supporting the well-being and independence of adults and seniors. My journey began with a personal passion for helping others with my own family which was reinforced through positive experiences in previous care roles. I'm a Certified Home Health Aid, and I'm also trained in CPR and First Aid and BLS .. I provide a wide range of services, including respite care, live-in care, hospice support, errands, personal care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, dementia care and Alzheimer care , medical management, and mobility assistance. I adapt to changing routines, de-escalate stressful situations, and handle confusion with patience. I communicate with families through written reports and verbal updates, always respecting their preferred method. Building trust with both clients and their families is paramount to me. I have some college experience. I have a car and am comfortable with pets.

Over the past two years, Maggie has provided extraordinary care for my elderly parents, both battling Alzheimer’s dementia. What began as 6 hours a day of support—managing meals, groceries, medications, and light housekeeping—grew into a lifeline as their conditions worsened. Maggie adapted seamlessly, increasing her hours to 8–12 daily, then coordinating round-the-clock care with unwavering patience and compassion, all while maintaining unmatched precision and attention to detail. Key strengths of Maggie’s care: - Empathy and dedication: She treated my parents as her own, even as their dementia made them increasingly challenging. Her calm demeanor and kindness never wavered, even during my parents' outbursts or confusion. - Crisis management: When emergencies arose, Maggie swiftly arranged hospital visits and provided 24/7 support, ensuring their medical needs were met without hesitation. - Adaptability: As my parents’ mobility and cognition declined, she took on more complex tasks, from hygiene assistance to coordinating with healthcare providers. - Resilience: Even during occasional personal hardships, Maggie prioritized my parents’ well-being, demonstrating remarkable professionalism and heart. - Transition support: When the time came for memory care placement, Maggie managed the entire process—packing belongings, communicating with facility staff, and easing my parents’ adjustment. Maggie’s ability to balance intense care demands with genuine warmth is unmatched. Her partnership with an assistant caregiver ensured safety and continuity, even during the most fragile moments. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to families navigating the challenges of dementia care.
