About Melinda
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a Certified Nurses Assistant. Over the last 15 years I have attended to people's needs at home, and in assisted living facilities. I specialize in Dementia/Alzheimer care and am certified by the Alzheimer Association. A positive attitude and stimulating conversation are indispensable for proper care whether you need some one skilled in dementia care, companion care or a combination of both. Compassion, respect and patience are primary requirements for mental/cognitive health and well being under any circumstance. I have had years to learn and grow my understanding of the emotional and mental needs of the people I have been associated with and will bring to your family/friend my expertise. If you are in need of someone you can trust to care for your loved one as their own, then please feel free to contact me and we can discuss your situation further.

Melinda has been providing care to my mother for three years. When she first started with us she provided companionship, activities, and attended speech therapy, music therapy, doctors appointments and other activities with mom. As my mother's condition has progressed, she has transitioned to providing more of the day to day care- bathing, dressing, feeding, etc. Melinda has gone above and beyond in terms of providing ideas and suggestions for things that would make my mother more comfortable and doing research about her condition and other things we could do to make her more comfortable. I recommend her highly!
