Cared for individual diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer
+ Transported client to doctor appointments & family gatherings; moved his walker closer to him so that he would feel more independent.
+ Maintained cleanliness & safety within the home:
Prepared healthy meals that he preferred; completed laundry prior to the next day; removed possible trip hazards within the home; unless he was sleeping, I stayed in the same room to ensure his safety and tend to his immediate needs.
+ Demonstrated strong problem-solving skills during challenges faced during his illness. Reminded him that he was safe and loved, promoting overall feeling of wellness.
+ Ensured that medication schedule was managed at the requested times directed by the oncologist. The schedule was well practiced to a point that he would remind me that he had already taken his meds!
+ Assisted his family through the difficult times with mental, physical & emotional support.
