About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a licensed physical therapist assistant in the state of FL with 16+ years experience with seniors including those with dementia/Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. I enjoy interaction with the senior demographic as they have so many incredible stories and memories to share from their lives. I worked for 12 years in a skilled nursing facility in Largo FL as well as performing home health PT in ALF's, and in home health services. I have worked the last 3 years with a private client and have transitioned the client from independent living in home to assisted living and memory care due to dementia. I have reliable transportation and have full coverage insurance. I am seeking weekday part-time schedule up to 25 hours a week. Thank you for viewing my profile and considering me to care for your loved one.
