About Mary

I have 16 years of experience caring for seniors & experience with many medical conditions. I've been trained by nurses & physical & occupational therapists on the proper, safe ways to provide assistance in walking, dressing, bathing, feeding, getting in/out of chairs, cars, the shower, etc. I'm very attuned to safety issues such as loss of balance, tripping hazards, slipping in the shower, etc. I understand the common issues seniors often face such as lack of movement, need for mental/social stimulation, fear of falling, dehydration, hearing & sight problems. I enjoy providing companionship to my clients. I have a positive, upbeat, can-do attitude, a good sense of humor & lots of patience. I am very organized & very detail-oriented. My goals are to help seniors live as full a life as they desire & to seamlessly fit into the client's & family's routines, doing whatever is needed to make their lives easier & less stressed. I seek to do things the way the client likes & wants them done!
