Elder Care in Brooklyn, New York

Hello! I'm a 35-year-old college-educated arts journalist who began working in Senior Care last year after my grandfather suffered a stroke and experienced memory loss, dementia, and a severe decline in motor functions. I assisted with his occupational and physical therapy, planned and cooked his meals (changing him to a low-sodium diet), administered multiple medications on an organized schedule, and managed his daily care and housekeeping needs. I've also recently worked as an in-home aide, housekeeper, and personal chef for an elderly Brooklyn matriarch who required a gluten-free, low-sodium, anti-inflammatory diet and personal assistance during her family's work hours. I arranged transportation, accompanied her to doctor and lab visits, and acted as a surrogate for her family during conflicting scheduled appointments. I have experience with type one diabetes, Alzheimer's, dementia, and cancer patients. As a compassionate, educated, nurturing, and organized personality with a talent for problem-solving, I want to assist others who require special care, while also minimizing your family's stress levels to help maintain a steady and healthy work/life balance for those who are juggling multiple responsibilities in their everyday lives.
