Teri’s Bio
My past experience includes taking care of my sister-in-law for over 5 years, who was a diabetic. She experienced Grand Mal seizures, neuropathy, coronary heart disease and the loss of limbs eventually losing her right leg below the knee. In addition to her spouse, I was one of her main caregivers when she was not in the hospital.
In addition, I was the sole caregiver to my grandparents who raised me so they were Mom & Dad to me. For many years they were extremely healthy but in their late 80's my Mom suffered with Dementia, and two TIA's. The 2nd TIA affected her left side, which resulted in her admittance to a nursing facility. In between my Mom's strokes, my Dad broke his hip and he was restricted to a walker & wheelchair.
I have no formal training other than CPR, but through my experiences with being a family caregiver, I have experience with the effects of diabetes, dementia, being confined to a wheelchair and how to lift a patient in & out of the chair. I am very attentive and will give the utmost respect to the patient.
