Elder Care in Colorado Springs, Colorado

I'm an
Individual
My name is Erin Marie Phoenix. I am 30 years of age and I live in Colorado Springs, Co 80909. I have 15 years of cargiving experience. I have cared for my grandparents whom one has dementia and the other is blind. I have cared for many men and weman in assistant living and in their own home. I am comfortable with all types of moods, personalities and disorders some clients my pertake in. Basic duties I provide when working in the home for an elderly client. Assisting with bathing and grooming - This can include but is not limited to: shampooing hair, finger and toenail care, brushing teething, and shower assistance. I am also comfortable with clothing clients Toileting and Changing – I will assist with helping client use the toilet, change diapers, apply creams, and help with catheters to encourage comfort and prevent any infections. Basic food preparation - I assist help with grocery shopping, and prepare food. I think it is important to introduce proper nutrition. Medication reminders - I can assure that medications are taken at the correct time as directed by their doctor. Light Housekeeping- I keep a safe and clean environment always. Duties related to housekeeping involve making the bed, doing laundry, washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom and kitchen. Pet care- I will provide care that client is not able to do involving walking pet, washing pet, feeding pet, letting pet out, and cleaning up after pet. Transferring the client – This refers to transferring the client from chairs, from the toilet, from bed, and to and from a vehicle with or without wheelchair or walker assistance. Monitoring changes in client’s health – If given care plan by client or paticipating family members, then I can supervise any changes in health that are concerning and that may need medical attention. Companionship – I will be with the elder all day or as much as they need me to provide and it’s mutually beneficial if we enjoy each other’s company. I understand that beyond these basic caregiver duties, duties for caring for an elderly client are highly dependent on their special needs. No two people are alike and no two caregiving jobs are alike either. Some seniors are suffering from memory loss while others are sharp as a whip yet struggle getting around and doing simple things like opening the grape jelly. When it comes to caring for the elderly, I am skilled and knowledged by all of my experience.
