About Melissa
Experience: 4 yrs
I have 10 years experience as a physical therapist assistant plus 4 years experience as a caregiver. I have worked in skilled nursing facilities and in home health administering therapy to the elderly. I love spending time with my patients and getting to know them on a personal level. I am thankful for the wisdom, stories, laughs, and love they have shared with me. I am a firm believer in treating the elderly with the respect that they deserve. I love to have fun while pushing just hard enough to make them stronger and more independent. I am experienced in working with Alzheimer and dementia patients in various stages of the disease. I have extensive training in safety and fall recovery techniques. I am knowledgeable in various geriatric diseases, injuries, and the treatments of such. I am a compassionate professional who believes in doing whatever it takes to give my patients the best quality of life.
Most recent review
WOW. WOW. WOW!! I still cannot believe we found Melissa on Care.com. Imagine the absolute best caregiver you could find x10. She is educated, intelligent and obviously leads a healthy lifestyle which was a refreshing change. She arrived on-time with a big smile, positive attitude, and willingness to do whatever was needed (and then some). It's very clear these qualities come naturally to her, as she seems to do them effortlessly. If Melissa is available, do not think twice.... hire her before her schedule fills. She may be the best experience you and your family have during an otherwise difficult time in senior care!
