Experience: 6 yrs
I have six years of experience providing compassionate home health care to seniors with mobility and memory issues. Prior to this, I worked for one year as a certified nursing assistant at a local hospital, where my patients liked my care so much that they asked me to care for them at home after leaving the hospital. My services include bathing, dressing, assisting with movement and exercise (according to the patient's abilities), healthy meal preparation and light cleaning/housework, all of which I provide for my patients with the same level of care that I would provide to a member of my own family. I have my own car which I can use to provide transportation to appointments and shop for groceries or pick up medications. My Virginia state certification as a nursing assistant is valid and up to date. I can provide references from previous patients and their family members upon request.
Ruth was a tremendous blessing while caring for my wife during end stage Parkinson’s disease. She is energetic, positive, creative, supportive and deeply caring and contributed immeasurably to my wife’s comfort during this very difficult and challenging period. Ruth is an expert in safely managing transfers from bed to commode or shower with wheelchair, walker, cane or gait belt. When my wife had rare periods of near-normalcy, Ruth provided companionship and pleasant one-on-one company for her on outings around our neighborhood and when just sitting on the porch enjoying good weather. She suggested timely and innovative changes to the care protocols that always resulted in improved wellbeing and comfort for my wife. Ruth was extremely sensitive to my wife’s physical and mental condition and needs and treated her with utmost dignity and skill as the disease took its course. I trust her judgment, commitment and integrity and highly recommend her for anyone who wants the best possible care for their loved one.
