About Sherry
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello, my name is Sherry. I have volunteered with Alameda Health System for over six years, starting at Highland Hospital. Initially, I assisted patients in navigating the hospital during a hundred-day probation. Afterward, I was assigned to the step-down unit and later transferred to the med-surge unit. In July 2022, I helped establish a volunteer program at San Leandro Hospital, where I trained new volunteers in the med-surge unit. My responsibilities included teaching hospital protocols, stocking supplies, and assisting with patient care. I verify patients' dietary needs, assist with hygiene, and make regular rounds to check on patient comfort, especially for those at risk of falls. Additionally, I have two years of experience with In-Home Supportive Services for an elderly couple, where I provided care, ran errands, and managed medications. My experiences have deepened my commitment to compassionate care and teamwork within the healthcare community.

Sherry what? worked with my mother for a few months, for 3-4 hours a day and was absolutely fantastic. She connected with my mother immediately, was personable, and did whatever was needed. She did a variety of tasks to support my Mom, which included cooking, laundry, helping her to exercise, running errands, cleaning, and helping my mom get to and from appointments. In addition she could read the situation well and sometimes would just sit and talk with her. She showed great judgment and helped my mother in some challenging situations. Unfortunately my mother increased the time she needs care for and the hours no longer worked for Sherry.
