About Kathleen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have recently worked on a daily basis with Dementia clients and end of life care in the Rutherford, Lyndhurst and Ringwood areas of NJ. I have also used my certification as a personal trainer to maintain functional fitness with clients. I believe open communication with family is imperative to provide optimal care. I am a Registered nurse specializing in Dementia care. I am acquiring recertification in dementia and geriatric care. I incorporate activities that foster engagement with clients. The elderly population requires keen observation for subtle changes in health status and quick initiation of medical management. My expertise in the geriatric population enables me to provide vital care. I am CPR//AED Certified. I look forward to working with your loved ones.

Kathleen’s professionalism, depth of expertise, funny wit and thorough, comprehensive care has been a God-send since coming to help care for our mother. Our mother is nearly 96 years old with advancing dementia and her children rotate to provide around the clock care to keep her in her home. Kathleen’s attention to detail in evaluating her physical and mental condition is exemplary in her record keeping and communication. She offers to help in anyway needed at every visit. Her warmth and concern always leads her to go the extra mile to make our mother feel the best that she can. Most importantly, Kathleen explains to us her condition and advises on what we can do better, or should change to provide the best care possible. As our mother’s condition advances, she helps us understand the changes and how to manage it best. We can’t thank Kathleen enough for how comfortable she makes our mother feel and how kind, trusting and dedicated she has been to our entire family. Phyllis
