Marlene’s Bio
I have been a caregiver for seniors for approximately 10 years. I am quite competent with medications, diabetes, COPD, asthma, knee and hip replacements, Alzheimer and dementia, and other senior ailments.
I have also been a certified rehab counselor or case manager for mental health and crisis management.
Most importantly, I am compassionate, intuitive, dedicated and dependable and mature. Attention to detail and observation are critical in dealing with people with extensive life experience and the need to remain independent. My philosophy of work is to keep people as independent as possible for as long as possible, however, making them codependent and enabling them is both disrespectful and debilitating.
The last three clients that I had were strong-willed individuals with dominant personalities which made them more difficult to help and provide a secure environment. Respect and dignity, listening attentively and compassionately won them over in a short period of time.
