Meet Latisha

I treat each elder as if they were my own mom and dad. I currently work in a skilled nursing home in Crescent City, CA. I have assisted patients on hospice, with dementia, diabetics, terminal bowel disease, heart disease, severe wound care and more. I have worked with doctors and nurses in administering medications. I have worked as a live-in caregiver, keeping patients out of the nursing/convalescence home where they can be more comfortable. I believe in treating each patient spiritually with compassion, patience and love. I have taken patients to the parks, on walks on trips and shopping too. I try to help make life for my patients feel as normal and fun as possible.

Latisha is a kind and intelligent woman. She embodies all that I would hope for in a caregiver. She is empathetic, a hard worker, good communicator, and a driven self starter. Latisha is able to access the needs of a situation and rise to the occasion of getting the job done. She is open to specific directions but really does not need them because she will see the need and go above and beyond to fill it prior to even being asked. I can not recommend her enough. She was my fathers caregiver only for a short period of time because his mental illness is too challenging for him to stay at home but if there every were a caregiver up for the task it is Latisha. I would like to add that she has a darling son who is well mannered and sweet and a very kind and well spoken husband as well. With a heart full of gratitude I wish them all the very best.
