About Tia

Experience: 20 yrs

I love the fulfillment that caring for the elderly brings to my life. Working with seniors for 17 years has given me various degrees of experience including: Dementia, Alzheimer, clients bed bound with a Hoyer lift to assist out of bed, catheter care, operating oxygen concentrator and portable tanks, wound care, assisting with P/T and O/T, med management per physician's orders, congestive heart failure, hospice care, and more. I was the lead med aide and the lead caregiver at my last in home care job. I am comfortable with all ADL's and hands on personal care that may be needed. I also will provide transportation, light housekeeping duties and cooking meals specific to clients needs. I believe that caring companionship a long with good medical experience while maintaining the clients dignity through all stages of life is important. I prefer day shift Monday-Friday, but I am flexible.

Tia did an excellent job taking care of my wife during her descent to Alzheimer’s. She was always on time, friendly, patient, and has an excellent knowledge of caregiving techniques and patient management. She looked for activities and places to do both in and out of the house, took my wife for walks and shopping, and on top of that, she’s a good cook. I wholeheartedly recommend her!
