Elder Care in San Francisco, California

I'm an
Individual
I am an experienced Christian caregiver, both having cared for both of my parents through end of life diagnoses as well as caring for other seniors for total of about 6 years. I am an expert advocate in medical, hospital, and hospice settings. I love, love, love, caring for seniors! When I was getting my  Master's in Psychology, I studied Alzheimer's and even worked on a government research program on the disease, interviewing hundreds of victims throughout New York City. It was most gratifying work. My Father passed away of throat cancer, but in fact also lived through the mid-stages of Alzheimer's. I have experience with focused health management, i.e. keeping a keen eye on all current and potential issues, medication, various therapies, diabetes, lung cancer, kidney failure, severe aches and pains from various causes, Parkinsons, and depression to name a few. My forte is companionship (sorry, no wheelchair, bedbound or lifting, minimal ADLs). I love to take my people out as they wish, maybe to see friends or do a little shopping, certainly for appointments. My goal is to make their days the best and most fullfilling possible. Sorry I do not offer lifting or hygeine services. I am a Christian who lives a quiet and content life. I am seeking a Christian home; I don't drink, smoke anything, or even take medication except for the occasional ibuprofen. I read the Bible for hours a day, do some service, and am writing a book, so I can be with your loved one as much as he/she desires, and when he/she wants her own time, I can do things quietly. I hired a private live-in caregiver for my Dad before I could take over. This caregiver was a great inspiration to me. My Dad never ate better, got out for rides in the car almost every day, and the caregiver Always responded to my communications. I could trust him. You can trust me. I know what it's like to be on the other side of this equation. I would naturally keep things up in the house, and love to cook to please. Again, for me this is a relationship. You live with the person and it needs to be a good feeling for both parties. My last client called me her best friend. I felt the same way. I have excellent references, and a reliable car. I also have a wonderful small service dog who loves my clients and they love him! He is well trained and adjusts well to new circumstances. My rate ranges from between 900 and 1500 a week depending on hours and the level of service for a 5-day week. If you are interested in knowing more, please contact me at 518 332-... my name is Mary. Thank you!
