About Joseph

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! I'm Joseph, a U. S. Navy veteran with nearly 10 years of professional caregiving experience, including live-in care. I've supported people with Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, polio, and the effects of strokes. I assist with bathing, dressing, toileting, meals, cooking, shopping, light housekeeping, medication reminders, appointments, and companionship. I'm experienced with gait belts and mechanical lifts and prioritize safe transfers with appropriate equipment. I drive a comfortable Cadillac LYRIQ SUV and can provide transportation when suitable for a client's mobility needs. I believe great care means patience, dignity, reliability, and genuine connection. I bring a positive attitude and sense of humor to each day while taking my responsibilities seriously. References and letters of recommendation are available upon request. I'd love to learn how I can help your family!

Joseph cared for my dad for six years. His quirky, goofy personality made my dad laugh, and they sang his favorite songs together. He carefully monitored my dad’s diabetes and made sure his meals met his needs. Joseph was exceptionally reliable and dedicated—a wonderful caregiver and trusted companion. Our family is deeply grateful, and I wholeheartedly recommend him.
