Professional Caregiver for Dementia/Alzheimer within 125 klm of Nanaimo image 1

Professional Caregiver specializing in Dementia/Alzheimer. I am 55 years of age "female" with six years of full-time employment working privately with Seniors/Elderly. Duties and Responsibilities : dispensing of all medications, record keeping of administered medications and the person's overall physical and cognitive health,renewal of all prescriptions, making Doctors Appointments, take blood sugars, blood pressure, drive clients to and from appointments and for pleasurable outings. Communicate daily with family members via email or phone text to give a summary of the day. Extremely calm and efficient when an Emergency occurs. Other Duties and Responsibilities: Household management, cooking, light house cleaning, gardening, laundry, shopping, looking after pets big or small if any. I am also an excellent cook... My working style is based on the Person Centered Care and Bio-Psycho-Social Model. I focus on the person first and the illness second. I use reminiscence as a working tool in order to discover who the person was prior to her/his diagnoses. I use this knowledge in times of crisis and during Sun-Downing to deflect any agitation. It allows me to interact and redirect the person by using her life experience and achievements which creates a very positive connection. It brings the person out of isolation, validates the person as an individual with a full life of experiences and history. I take my work very seriously, pay attention to details and use common sense to every day tasks and challenges. My personality is very positive, uplifting, gregarious with a great sense of humor which i consider mandatory. P.S. I no longer take on Ambulatory Cases, or total lack of mobility, lifts and transfers. I assist the person when getting up from a chair "recliner" assist when going to bed or coming out of bed, assist with showering/bathing for balance, stability, safety and proper hygiene. I can provide you with my First-Aid, CPR. Drivers License, Drivers Abstract and all my Professional References. Thank you for your time and consideration. It is in knowledge that we can walk the road less travel. Kind Regards, Germaine
