Kim’s Bio
I was a Certified Nurses Assistant for 6 years and then became a Licensed Pratical Nurse and was one for 8 years. Decided I needed a break from the medical field cause my heart was just too big for my own good. So I did not renew my license. I worked in the food industry for a few years, but was just not happy. So, I eventually starting doing private care for elderly in their homes and I love it.
I have taken care of patients with below the knee amputation due to brittle diabetes and noncompliance; diabetic with macular degeneration which caused legal blindness along with dementia; dementia with severe OCD, schizophrenia and psychosis; Alzheimers with Schizophrenia and macular degeneration, early onset dementia with fractured neck, and just early stages of dementia due to fall that cause brain bored/stroke.
I absolutely love working with the elderly. I can administer medications, do light housework, cooking, taking them or accompanying them and family to doctors appointments, I can run basic errands for said patient or family, or just provide companionship and give family members a well needed break.
