Hi there! My name is Nicole, and I have been caring for seniors for a little over six years. I started with a man who had Parkinson's, who I helped get out of bed and onto the toilet to clean him up and get him ready for his day. Later, I've had clients with dementia, clients who just need someone to stay with them while their spouse was out and about. I can take people to their doctors appointments and grocery shopping. I really enjoy helping people improve their lives using physical therapy and other activities. Because I'm a yoga instructor trained in yoga therapy, I have a good eye for balance and can help my clients understand better how to use their body in an efficient way. I have a senior dog who I would like to bring with me. He's 12 years old so he sleeps a lot. If it's a long day, I prefer to have him with me.
Nicole was a caretaker for my husband who had a stroke and was unable to do activities he had enjoyed previously. She was interested in him as a person, not just as a patient, and engaged him in conversations so they developed a mutual friendship. Nicole was helpful in assisting and encouraging him to do his therapy exercises, as well as driving him to medical appointments. She was patient and kind to him, always interested in finding ways to improve his daily life.
