About Mary Anne

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I cared for my father for many years as he was managing dementia, helping him to maintain a positive outlook, modified his lifelong interests and passions as well as his physical and cognitive health, including meal prep, bathing, exercise for vitality and balance maintenance, and helping him to reminisce while I wrote a simple memoir of his life. I successfully adapted my 20 years of directing children's programs to provide a balance between joyful, easy and interesting days and my knowledge of senior's needs to a comprehensive individualized program of care and well-being. Recently I have applied the same level of care to 2 seniors with dementia. I would love to learn what works best for your beloved parent and co-create a great caregiving situation with you. I also have done a bit of home health aid work. I am trained as a mind-body health coach, which I would love to weave into my caregiving if desired. I would welcome a situation that includes dementia care and/or hospice care.

Mary Anne C. took care of my mom Sharon in my home for 4 months in the fall of 2022 when my mom and I were just settling in to live together after several decades. Mary Anne did a lot to make the transition smooth and help my mom to feel at home in her new situation. She asked questions of us as a family to find out what my mom could still enjoy without too much frustration — beyond watching her shows. She was very patient with my mom and helped her to take an interest in eating a full meal and going for nature walks. She helped her to do simple everyday chores like making her bed, which gave her a sense of dignity. They had lively conversations. Often my Mom remembered Mary Anne and looked forward to her arrival. I think she thought of Mary Anne as a friend who liked to visit her. I think that concept worked for all of us because I believe Mary Anne really cared about her. I would definitely recommend Mary Anne a a caregiver for your older parent.
