Accomplishments

I thrive on caregiving.

My last charge was with a gentleman that was bed bound due to depression.

Within three months, he was walking, talking, enjoying the outdoors, playing cards and listening to music.

With my Alzheimer experience, I do not argue with my charge.

I realize that my attitude,which is great,,, that I can change the feelings of my clients.

I had one Dementia patient that wanted to go home to North Carolina.

I would pack her up, drive on back roads and when we arrived back to her house, she felt as though she did visit North Carolina.
