About Elise

I aided in taking care of my 73-year-old grandmother until she passed away. I then aided in taking care of a family friend who moved into my families home after she was diagnosed with final stage dementia at the age of 95. I was a companion to them along with fulfilling basic needs such as food and administer medication at proper times. I learned many ways in which to communicate with patients with dementia throughout this time, including ways to keep them busy and active. It is a joy to be able to bring happiness into their lives which leaves much room in my heart to continue this work.
