Elder Care in Calgary, Alberta

I'm an
Individual
As a caregiver I provide a safe, secure, professional environment which meets the need of the individual. I assist with daily activities such as grooming, personal hygiene, meal preparation, medication reminders, keeping the home safe and clean, as well as the overall supervision of the client\'s physical and mental well being. Other activities include light housekeeping, shopping, cooking, laundry, driving to appointments and outings. Travelling with clients to their second home or going on vacation on the spur of the moment is okay. The majority of my care giving experiences is with Alzheimer\'s/Dementia, Diabetic, Stroke, and Cancer. I also assist with pet care. Thank you for taking the time to read, and look forward to meeting with you in person to discuss the needs of your family member, and my suitability for the position. Depending on the needs will determine the rate of pay. I do live-out as well as live-in. Prefer to drive employer\'s vehicle. If one is not available and the use of my vehicle is required, I charge mileage. I have recommendation letters from previous employers which can be shared on an in person interview. I come with a Social Work Diploma, and a sense of humor. I have 5 years experience working with seniors. 3 of them as a seniors outreach worker. 3 of them as one on one support for seniors with Alzheimer/dementia, Diabetic, Stroke, Shingles, Pneumonia, Arthritis, Incontinence ( Diapers ) Arthritis, Implants, and Cancer. As an outreach worker I interviewed clients to assess their situation and determined the types of services required and eligibility. Provided counsel to help clients resolve social and personal problems. Planned educational workshops related to health, transportation, housing, etc. Coordinated Christmas Day Dinner, providing seniors with an opportunity to leave their home and engage in social interaction. Located a computer instructor compatible with seniors, offering an introduction to the basic internet, email, enhancing the quality of independent living as well as producing a sense of accomplishment, and building self-esteem. Facilitated a grief support group, thus participants gained lifestyle transition tools to move on. Monitored clients at risk" who had ongoing multiple complex problems. I also have five years experience as a community support worker. Here I advocated, motivated, promoted and facilitated empowerment, and assured individuals were treated with dignity and respect. My one on one support for seniors entailed mostly support of a meaningful day, companionship, preparing meals, laundry,assist with pet care, errands, ensuring taking of proper medication, light housekeeping, driving to appointments, grocery shopping, travelling and staying with them in their winter home in Palm Desert.
