Description:
Hello!
My name is Lorna. I am a retired Registered Nurse (2014) hoping to find employment as a Companion For Seniors, Health Care Aide, or a Homecare Worker for Seniors in Edmonton, Alberta. Working with the client’s family is of utmost importance to me, and I am flexible as far as hours are concerned. I would like to work 20-25 hours per week, days or evenings. I am not able to work nights.
Service Abilities:
I can do light housekeeping, help with laundry or other activities around the house as required. I can prepare meals, prepare snacks to maintain adequate hydration and nutrition, can give oral medications, can take blood pressure, temperature, and pulse, use a glucometer to obtain blood glucose results, change non-sterile dressings, shower/bathe and dress clients, and do personal care. I enjoy reading to or with clients, watching television with clients, and conversing with clients. I feel that these activities will help maintain the client’s current memory as long as possible, as well as stimulate their intellectual abilities. I am a fun loving person and I try to bring joy to my clients. I am aware of the emotional and social support required for Seniors, as well the needs of clients with senile dementia and Alzheimer’s. I love working with Seniors and anticipate that this type of employment, caring for others, will add to my sense of fulfillment during my retirement years. Working with the client’s family is of utmost importance to me, and I am flexible.
I have 4 years recent experience providing elder care. Prior to that, I worked in Long Term Care for 8 years. At the beginning of my career, I worked in Pediatrics at the University of Alberta Hospital (now The Stollery Children’s Hospital) and Family Medicine in the Commuinity for 25 years.
When my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, I became interested in Long Term Care. Working in Long Term Care gave me great experience working with Seniors.
