About Catherine
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Responsible, mature, compassionate college-educated healthcare professional w/ extensive experience caring for Seniors and individuals of all ages. Certified BLS Provider. 7 yrs w/ local skilled nursing facility, specializing in Alzheimer/Dementia care, med-surg, surgical rehab (Orthopedic, cardiac, etc.). Additional experience: ER Tech/Trauma; private duty care.(present.) I take vitals, assist w/ ADLS: bathing, dressing, feeding, etc., and work on range of motion, ambulation: other physical & strengthening activities. I perform medication management; admin treatments. I do errands, meals. I'm a great cook and engaging conversationalist, w/ a fun personality, and respectful demeanor. I make a good companion, and give exceptional care. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with Seniors -- listening to them, caring for them, learning from them, and attending to their needs. Making their days a little easier in this regard, is one of the most rewarding, and humbling, experiences one can have.

Compassionate, seasoned in all aspects of senior care, professional and dependable! Cathy is kind, caring, dedicated, and a hardworking Care Giver!!! She worked for a few years on my private care team for an elderly moderate Dementia client with a myriad of health issues. Just love her! She is always available to go the extra mile and brings much love and compassion to her work!!! Punctual, conscientious, good sense of humor, patient, fun and skilled in all aspects of hands-on care! Excellent cook as well! Any family would be very blessed to have her to care for their loved one. Happy to give a verbal recommendation as well!
