As a caregiver with a passion for taking care of old people including with dementia, I bring over a decade of experience and a wealth of knowledge to senior care. My journey began in 2010 when I arrived in the US, where I initially worked as a family doctor in the Philippines for nine years. After migrating to Minnesota with my son to be with my husband and live as a family, I decided to dedicate my life to senior care. To enhance my skills, I obtained my CNA and TMA certifications by challenging the exams which lead me to work as a Resident Assistant /TMA in LTC and AL facilities. Eventually, I advanced to the role of HCSC/Staffing. With a patient and friendly approach , I prioritize open communication with family, using their preferred methods to discuss their parent's day and address any concerns. While taking care the patient with respect and dignity and safe environment always.
Rica has been so wonderful with my mom. She has tremendous experience and expertise with seniors who have cognitive decline/dementia. Upon meeting her, my mom was immediately at ease, and Rica knew just how to help her and interact with her with very little additional information from me. Her insights about things that would help my mom were also very helpful. And the peace of mind I felt leaving my mom in her hands was such a gift.
