Experience: 10 yrs
I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 10 years of experience in acute and intensive care settings. I maintain a current nursing license and bring a calm, attentive presence to caregiving, especially during times of medical complexity or transition. I offer compassionate, reliable support with medication management, daily activities, mobility safety, and eating assistance. I am skilled in making nursing assessments, monitoring changes in condition, and collaborating closely with families and healthcare providers to support informed medical planning and decision-making. My background includes extensive experience in wound care, prevention, and management, as well as end-of-life and comfort-focused care. I am deeply committed to preserving dignity, safety, and quality of life, and I genuinely enjoy assisting people and supporting families through this stage of care. I would be honored to support you or your loved one with thoughtful, experienced, and respectful care.
