Katie M. Care Companion in New Albany, IN 47150

My interest and love for the elderly is truly intrinsic and I genuinely enjoy working with older adults. I take pride in renewing a senior’s interest in living, helping them to exercise cognitive functioning, reinforcing socially acceptable patterns of behavior and most importantly improving the quality of life of my clients and their family members.

Through my personal experience I know all too well how difficult it can be to work through the medical system, to communicate effectively the needs of your loved one, and to be assured every day that they are receiving compassionate and appropriate care. I have personally experienced the emotional roller coaster families go through during a medical crisis, and the emotional and physical wear and tear that extended illness can take on both the patient and the family.

In 2009, I graduated high school with a Core 40 Diploma. I had every intention to enroll in college, least to say, I proudly became a student at Ivy Tech Community College in the fall of 2009 in the nuring program. In 2012, I successfully completed the Indiana State Department of Health 105 Hour Nurse Aide Training program. As well I became Homehealth Aide Certified by the Indiana State Department of Health. After obtaining my CNA and HHA, I became CPR/First Aid Certified in 2013.

I have passion working in the health field and absolutely look forward to gain employment with a progressive minded organization, in which dependability, loyalty, and hard work are rewarded. This is not only a job, but a beginning of a new freindship and the opportunity to make a change in someone's life.
