About Debra
Experience: 10 yrs
ELDER CARE: I have 10 years' experience working with seniors in retirement homes. 2 years' experience in hospice with knowledge of med and forms of dementia including Alzheimer's Disease. I love to be with the elderly, developing a close relationship with them and the family. I am passionate about being a part in keeping them safe by caring for them and giving them love. I am trustworthy and can help with finances - paying bills, organizing, errands, pleasure trips. I am a pro musician and would love to play their favorite music should you have a piano. Loving companion - talking, reading, general visiting. We would become friends. I am a strong advocate for the elderly. I will protect, care and give love to your family member. I am an expert in diabetes care, understand insulin adjustments, low b/s symptoms, carbs counting, insulin pumps and sensors. I know the diabetic diet and cook healthy meals. Am CPR and First Aid certified. I also am a big time cat lover. :)

Debra was actually recommended to us by a family member living in California! She had researched a website and found Debra's add for services. We connected, she interviewed with the wife and me, and she started the next week! She is an outstanding musician and uses her people person skills to assist with home care need and driving for appointments and shopping. We found her very dependable and caring.She is honest and exhibits a high level of integrity. In the time she was with us her caring and assistance allowed my wife to gain strength and confidence to resume daily activities and return to driving herself. She was instrumental in encouraging my wife to diet, exercise and regain her confidence! We are grateful for her time with us.
