Lucy Z. Care Companion in Charleston, SC 29414

I am a Realtor, an artist and a mother of 3 grown children. I was the primary care giver for them, and helped my dad provide care for my mother when she was diagnosed with cancer. Later I became my father's caregiver when he was in his 80's until he passed at 92 years old. I also provided care for our elderly neighbor until she passed. I worked with The Ark of Summerville which is a respite care for the elderly with Alzheimers.

I am compassionate, kind, patient, positive and dependable. I have a background in healthcare, so I can care for clients who are sickly but still mobile. I do not provide treatment, bathing, or lift. I can support the family and will be aware when medical attention is needed or emergent. I have excellent communication skills.

I'm available for afternoons, evenings and some overnights if your family member sleeps through the night. As long your loved one does not need constant supervision all night with advanced Alzheimers. I enjoy outings, appointments and walks. Indoors, I love creative activities such as art, crafts, music, dancing, puzzles, cards, board games and movies. I will try most activities they enjoy.

When your family members age, you need support to help them age in place. You need to be able to have breaks for self care and take care of obligations also.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and your family.
