About Kathleen
Experience: 6 yrs
I have always had a passion for working with the elderly. I became a Certified Personal Care Attendant in 2011 and have been working with seniors in their homes ever since. I can provide assistance with all ADLs including; bathing, dressing, cleaning, meal prep, medication management, feeding tubes, housekeeping and more. I have experience working with clients on hospice. I have a vehicle and perfect driving record and can provide transportation to the grocery store, appointments and for social activities. I am a non-smoker and non-drinker. I am comfortable being around pets. I will make sure your loved one feels safe and comfortable with me at all times.
Most recent review
It takes a special person to take gentle care of someone diagnosed with Dementia/Alzheimer's & we found that person in Kathy. Kathy can be quiet in her ways-which was welcomed as my aunt progressed & craved a calmer environment. She does her work with compassion & responsibility & my aunt responded very well to her tone of voice, redirection & even suggested walks & activities. She stays busy keeping spaces clean, making day-to-day home life serene & comfortable. She took the time to learn my aunt's routine-what food she likes, TV shows & her daily schedule & always kept us informed. This disease can be unpredictable & Kathy rescued us several times when we needed extra support. Kathy often went above & beyond - making my aunt's last months at home safe & enjoyable. My aunt has recently gone to a memory care unit. If you are looking for someone who is responsible, caring, dedicated, communicative, & just an overall trusting & kind person-I cannot recommend Kathy high enough.
