About Deborah

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have been in the home care field most of my life, over 30 years. After 10 years of working in the field, I started working at an organization, helping people of all ages with various challenges and disabilities. While that position was very rewarding for many years, I realized my passion was assisting people in the home setting. I enjoy helping people with activities of daily living. I also find it very rewarding to talk and look at pictures old and new from exciting life events.

For over two years, Debbie served as a daily companion to both our grandfather and grandmother. Her presence allowed them to remain in their own home. Our grandmother was exhibiting signs of cognitive decline and our grandfather had knees that were bone on bone. Walking was very challenging for him and our chief priority was to ensure he never fell. Debbie demonstrated extreme vigilance. Neither of them ever transferred from a seated position to a standing position alone. She was always right there by their side. Her presence allowed them to have an appropriate level of independence with very careful oversight. Debbie’s safety first approach is one of her many strengths. We chose Debbie out of a sea of applicants because she has a wealth of experience and also because she offered a mature, calm, and trustworthy personality. She is extremely punctual and always arrived a few minutes before the start of her shift. She happily made breakfast the way they liked, did puzzles, helped with soiled pull-ups, drove our grandmother to the hairdresser, listened to the same stories over and over, etc. Most of all, she treated our grandparents with kindness and love. Prior to Debbie joining our family, our grandparents had been fiercely independent well into their 90s so this was an inflection point for all of us. Debbie helped our family adapt to this new chapter and made our grandparents feel safe and well cared for over the years. Both of my grandparents have since passed away and thanks to Debbie neither ever spent a single night in a care facility. We are so thankful they were able to remain home. If you hire Debbie I know she will treat you with the same dignity, kindness, respect and love she showed our grandparents. We are grateful for her and you will be too!
