Hi, I worked as a PTA in Home Care for 19 years, doing rehab for strokes, Parkinsons, fractures and overall weakness. Many of my patients had Alzheimers or other dementias. Preserving someone's dignity through this painful transition is essential. Patience is a necessary part of patient care, as well as compassion and a sense of humor. It's important to pay attention to the changes in someone's behavior if there's been a recent medication change. I comfortable with dogs-any size or breed.

Jan cared for my mom for the last 3.5 years. My mom loved her so much - as a friend, companion and helper. Jan has a very unique skillset in her ability to subtly provide support without challenging my mom's dignity, which is incredibly important for a person with dementia. My sisters and I came to rely on Jan as one of the family and appreciated her strong communication skills, her ability to problem solve and to always ensure my mom was safe and well cared for.
