I was so excited to get in front of people again when I did a presentation on home medical equipment safety, maintenance, purpose, and where to find them at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Marion, IA for a support group!

Increasing My Knowledge to Better Care for Clients With Dementia

In my ongoing pursuit of knowledge, I met with the Director of the Family Caregivers Center of Mercy in Cedar Rapids, Kathy Good, about a month ago to see if she had any suggestions for working with our clients experiencing dementia who also demonstrate resistance to performing personal cares or taking medications.

Right at Home Allows You One on One Time With Your Client

She realizes the beauty of home care in that she can be one-on-one with a client and give them her full attention and run on the client’s routine, not a mandated one passed down by the management of a facility.

True Story: The Importance of Being a Caregiver

I had an interesting chat yesterday with one of our caregivers, Patty. She began by saying how she did not feel up to going to her early shift that day. She hadn’t slept well the night before and just wanted to sleep in awhile longer.
