Elder Care in Palmdale, California

I'm an
Individual
Who I Am: I have 30 years of caregiving experience. I took care of 2 couples in Santa Clarita for 5 years each, then took years off to raise my family. I returned to school to start my business degree, so I can eventually open a board and care home. In the last 10 years, I have cared for a COPD patient for 8 years, and I took care of my mother at home for 2 years until she passed. My mother was bedridden, had severe heart issues, diabetes, and dementia. I have had a dialysis patient and 3 end-of-life patients in the last 3 years, and an MS patient for 2 years. I feel that my strong skills are loving care, wound care, diabetes control, managing and administering medication, and specialize with dementia/alzheimer's patients. I also find it rewarding to do end of life/hospice care. I am trained in sterile wound care. I have clearance through California IHSS for in home care, including DOJ background check. I am honest and trustworthy and have impeccable references. I'm available early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends. Booking An Appointment: Send me a message and I'll respond ASAP!

Kim M. is an amazing human being and dedicated to giving the best care. Kim took care of my mother for two years in my mother's home. She did everything for my bed-ridden mother from physical care, bathing, dressing, meal prep, feeding, light housework, shopping, medications, physical therapy, etc. Kim did it all. She even made time to sit and talk to my mom about anything mom wanted to talk about. She is also very artistic and creative. She would bring crafts for my mom to do while bed-ridden. They had a blast together. Kim would even read to my mom once she became unable to speak due to several strokes. When my mom passed away, Kim bathed her body, painted her nails, did her hair/makeup and placed a red rose in my mom's hands before her body was picked up by the mortuary. The day of the memorial service, I was surprised to see Kim show up at the church. I guess I shouldn't have been because that's just who Kim is. I just cannot express my gratitude enough for Kim. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone who wants the very best for their loved one. She is an angel! Anyone would be very lucky to have her as a caregiver.
