About Bridget

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I've been a home healthcare worker for 40 years, taking care of older seniors in their home in their last years of life. in the last 10 years I've focused on dementia patients, specifically those with Alzheimer's Disease, from early onset to severe Alzheimer's. I'm an Irish immigrant, having moved here when I was 19 years old. I raised three grown children and I have recently moved to New York City from upstate NY. I have always treated my patients like family, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I've had the added experience of taking care of my husband as he progressed through the final stages of his life with Parkinson's and dementia. I know the immense amount of work, care, and empathy this job requires. I'd describe my personality as caring, funny, and hardworking. I like caring for seniors because it's my calling. In my spare time, I like to workout, go to museums, and visit my grandchildren. I have multiple references upon request.
