About Dayna
Experience: 10 yrs
I've been an occupational therapist for 22 years with experience in long-term care and geriatrics working with various disabilities and illnesses including dementia, COPD, cancer, Parkinson's, CVA, post-surgical patients, generalized weakness, diabetes, visual loss, hearing impaired, mental illness, etc. I genuinely love to help other people and provide companionship, while helping to maximize their independence and safety as well as improve their quality of life. I'm very caring, empathetic, responsible, and hard-working. I love to make people smile! It is so rewarding to bring happiness and make a positive impact on someone's life. I have been a private OT/caregiver providing caregiving services, companionship, occupational therapy, medication management, medical care management, transportation, recreational/leisure activities, safety training, etc. for multiple families for the past 8 years and it has been the most wonderful, rewarding experience. Can provide references.

Reviewed on 3/4/2022
Dayna went above and beyond in all aspects of care for my father. She treated him like her own father and was extremely proactive in finding ways to enhance his life. She not only directly cared for my father, providing companionship and assistance, but she beautifully managed the rest of his care team. My father required 24-hour care, which required management of multiple caregivers. Dayna not only handled setting up everyone's schedule, but also served as the point person for any issues that arose with the caregivers, such as last-minute shift cancellation, conflicts between team members, or issues with the quality of care being provided. And in my father's final days, she came to his bedside to offer us her support and to tell him how much he was loved. Dayna exceeded all of my family's expectations. We could not have asked for a more thoughtful, skilled or caring caregiver.
