About Katherine

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

My mother suffered a stroke in 2006 and was left with dementia, aphasia and a weak right side. Because she couldn't live on her own anymore I moved to her home and became her full-time caregiver for 8 years. She had lost the ability to do anything on her own. It was time for me to do MY part and take care of her AND ensure her happiness. She passed away in '15. Since then, I have cared for many elderly patients who suffer(ed) from Alzheimer's, dementia, strokes, etc. Some of my responsibilities include but are not limited to: hospice and bed ridden patients, mobility issues, wound care, nebulizer use, medication management, sponge baths, showers, diaper/depend changes, ileostomy bag drainage, cooking, manicures/pedicures, laundry, cleaning, doctor appointments, etc. I am honest, responsible, and affectionate with the elderly.

Kathy came into our lives when our dad entered in-home hospice care in August. She took excellent care of him and the household tasks that needed to be done. After he passed, she stayed on to care for my mother who had entered in-home hospice care, and her standard of excellent care continued. Her loving and gentle manner with our parents (and our whole family) was a calming center during a stressful time. She was organized and a great communicator. She treated our parents with love and respect, as if they were her own. She was always reliable, dependable, and flexible. She remained practical and calm even under the most stressful situations. She quickly became part of our family. Now that our mother has passed away, she is seeking a new position. I can confidently say that anyone would be fortunate to have Kathy care for their loved ones. My sister and I recommend her to the highest degree.
