I have been involved in senior care since 1991. I've worked in a nursing home in the activities dept. and as an Occupational Therapy Assistant in the Rehab Dept. I have also done home health and took care of my aging parents. I know from experience how important it is to have people you trust care for you/ your loved one in trying to keep them in their own homes. I feel my job is to assist in making his/her life enjoyable and fulfilling while maintaining integrity, safety and independence. My experience includes working with Dementia, Parkinson's, Anxiety, and General companionship with life enhancing activities. I meet my clients where they are at and integrate social, physical, emotional and of course respect and laughter! I would be happy to talk further on experience and qualifications, References provided upon request.

What a gift it was to work with Diane. From our first conversation about care, she made us feel listened to and respected. She asked just the right questions regarding Mom's needs and went above and beyond in meeting them. Her communication was clear and compassionate. She took detailed notes on everything from how Mom reacted when offered a specific food to the book from which she read aloud to her. I never had any doubt that Diane would treat my mother as her own and that Mom's safety and comfort were top priority. Beyond that, in many ways, I felt as cared-for by Diane as my mom was. I have never been involved in caring for someone in their final days, and Diane provided perspective and empathy, head and heart. I can't recommend her highly enough. Her future clients will be fortunate to have Diane by their side.
