About Jessica

I am a 35-year-old, full-time geriatric occupational therapist. I have been working exclusively with seniors 65+ living in the home and in assisted living communities for 5 years now have experience working with a wide range of diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. *I am not offering therapy.* Why respite caregiving if I am already employed full time? I have come to recognize a great need in my community - reliable, compassionate, and creative caregiving. Not sitting in the same room playing on my phone. Preserving dignity and improving quality of life. And well, if you can't find the solution to a problem, be a solution. I'm offering respite or part-time weekend caregiving for those interested in: *cognitively stimulating activities *engagement in physical activity *assistance with ADLs *light housekeeping I am a big believer in allowing a person to do what they are capable of and assisting with what they are not.
