I worked with Ms. For 9 years, I provided total care and supervision in a live-in setting.

My client was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, diabetes, blindness, and high cholesterol.

I completed ADLs, including transfers from bed to chair, repositioning the client to prevent her from bedsores, incontinence care, and all personal hygiene needs.

I prepared meals that were instructed by the dietician, ensured proper hydration, and provided feeding support.

I also made sure my client felt emotionally supported by taking her to get morning coffee, taking her to see family members, and doing daily activities at a local daycare.

My client also had a physical therapist coming in three days a week, so I assisted with exercises, monitored medication for the client, took vitals, and checked blood sugar.

I maintained daily logs and care notes, ensuring continuity of care and clear communication for family members and other caregivers.
