About Susan
Experience: 10 yrs
I am a former Social Worker with 20 years of experience in geriatric care. I have worked as a Nursing Home Social worker, and Director of an Alzheimer Facility. I am now working as an In-Home Care Companion. I want to assist you, or a loved one to remain independent and stay in your own home as long as possible. I provide Peace of Mind visits to provide companionship and conversation, meal preparation, and medication reminders. I can provide transportation to appointments, or shopping, and any errands needed. I have a good sense of humor which helps me relate to, and motivate people through humor and a positive outlook. I also understand the need to provide reminders, and encouragement at all times in a dignified and respectful manner ! Thank you for looking at my profile! Susan
Most recent review
Susan cared for my mother for two years. Susan's warm, professional and sensitive ways immediately put all of us at ease. She has a very easy manner - friendly yet confident. Mom did not want someone who hovered; she wanted a companion who understood her struggles with Alzheimer; someone she liked to spend time with. Susan 's background was perfect for this- she has a counselor's listening ear and mom loved that. (I also benefited from Susan's sensitivity and support. ) I HIGHLY recommend Susan for senior care. We would still be with Susan but mom has moved into a memory care facility now. Call her! You won't regret it.
