Elder Care in Stafford, Virginia

I'm an
Individual
I have been doing companion care since I have moved to Stafford, VA in 2001. I am a military wife (my husband retired in 2002). I truly love what I do, and have a very outgoing personality. I have experience in adult day care centers and was also the activities director for one of them. I have worked with Alzheimer's and Dementia patients as well as special education. The services that I offer but are not limited to are cooking, cleaning, exercise, taking clients to appointments, church services, shopping, laundry, and bathing, opening mail and medication reminders. My father was a diabetic (insulin dependent and a double amputee). Having a loved one with diabetes I know how important diet and meals are in controlling their insulin levels. When I was 21 years of age my Grandfather was an Alzheimer's patient and I took care of him for the last 2 years of his life. My last lady that I took care of I was with her for 9 1/2 years, I lost her on December 15, 2014. My lady and I did everything together she told people that I was like a daughter to her. This has been a tremendous loss to me. My client came home from the hospital under hospice care. I was trained by their staff to do at home hospice and was trained to cleaning, changing and caring for someone with a colostomy bag. My husband has had colon cancer surgery twice and was also on chemo and had to care for his open wound with cleaning and packing the site. I have also had other clients in the Stafford and Fredericksburg area and my references are excellent. I know that being far from a loved one is very difficult especially not living close be and be able to check on that person. I have kept open communication with my families by phone calls and giving them updates on their loved ones. I truly love what I do, and have a very outgoing personality. I am compassionate, honest and loyal and feel that I would be a blessing to anyone that I care for.
