About Susan

-it only gives me the option for working with a patient/client up to 1 year but I will remain with them as long as needed I have just shy of 15 years in elder care, but 17 years of patient care in total I was a volunteer EMT for 10 years until I was pregnant with my son and couldn't safely lift a stretcher anymore I am CPR certified I am also a certified dementia care specialist I can do some wound care I know how to change colostomy bags, empty catheter bags, change IV bags, use suction machines, work with feeding tubes, etc. I have worked with hospice patients and helped them with comfort and compassion through their final stages of life and their transition from a life on Earth to their after life. I assist with all activities of daily living such as Oral hygeine, toileting, changing adult briefs, showering/bathing, dressing, hair care and styling, nail care, and so on. I am always very bubbly and caring. I have great bedside manner. I form bonds and patients become like family
