This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 5 yrs
I have 5 years of experience. I have cared for patients with the following conditions: stroke, memory care, mental illness, Parkinson's, sundowning, swallowing issues, COVID, Alzheimer's, dementia, cancer, hospice care and patient's who have suffered from falls. I have worked in a hospital setting and as a home caregiver. I am trained in ADL' s, physical therapy exercises, bowel care, Foley Catheter, condom catheter, and gate belt training. I am a former restaurant owner and pastry chef. I am experienced at preparing healthly meals. Yet on occasion I believe in serving the quality healthy food along with a dessert, if permitted. My father's motto was he would always rather have two desserts instead of one. "It's called living." Just even a small bite gives a boost to a persons day. I believe it is very important to be dependable and collaborate with the patient, family and the care team to keep a joyful and healing environment for everyone involved.

Lisa was an answer to prayers I didn't even know I had. I travel out of town for two days each month. As the caregiver for my 94-year old dad, he was at the point where he would not be able to take care of himself (and the cat) when I left for my January work trip. Lisa took the assignment on short-notice. I left on Sunday afternoon and, on Monday, she called me to get him enrolled in a hospice program. He was fading quickly and she expertly managed the new level of care needed. When I arrived back home on Wednesday morning, hospice was on its way over the evaluation and dad was weak but responsive. As it turned out, Lisa came by on Saturday afternoon just to check in and was with me when Dad passed. She spent time with me to get him washed up and dressed. She is supportive, caring and knowledgeable. Lisa is on top of her game and goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her!
