Laurel’s Bio

I am a licensed RN, semi-retired with over 30 years of nursing experience. This is a time in my career when I choose to work at what has given me the most pleasure. Providing care to seniors living at home.
I’m comfortable performing any and all tasks that I have listed on my profile.
I bring to the job dependability, organized with excellent attention to detail and follow through. I’m personable, able to develop positive rapport and empathize with patient and family.
The family is a very important part of the care. I would want them to be involved and will keep them updated on a daily basis via phone, text or drop in visits. I like to keep a daily diary of any significant changes be it mental or physical. These can sometimes be useful to the MD if medications are involved.
