About Kathleen

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I've always loved being with and helping Seniors. Unfortunately, as people age and begin to lose their independence, their feelings of dignity and self worth begin to diminish, too. I have worked for years trying to make a difference. I've been on both sides. I've served as a caregiver and a care coordinator. My role as caregiver included assisting with activities of daily living and companionship. I spent whatever time was needed to truly hear my client and find out what really has made them who they are. My role as a care coordinator included assessing Seniors to identify what services they may need and benefit from. And then setting those services up for them. I have dementia care training/ experience, CPR training, and worked with families in the midst of Hospice. I am not a smoker, do well with most pets in a home and will feed and water. I have my own transportation and am not easily rattled when it comes to Seniors whose cognitive decline has made filtering much harder.
