I am happy to answer any questions related to assisting those with disabilites. My area of specialty is setting up the home for people with physical challenges.
20 years of Long Term Care and Community Nursing, specialising in Geriatrics, Gerontology and PalliativeCare.
Registered Nurse , Certified Gerontological Nurse, Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Hundreds of Long Term Care residents and Community clients.
I enjoy the fact people can stay at home today despite physical and/or emotional challenges. Palliative Care has always been my specialty and I'm so pleased we can nurse almost anyone at home and allow people to die with dignity in their own beds while surrounded by loved-ones if that is what they want to do.
I hope one day soon the governement recognises how vital our role is and provides people with the proper funding so we may all have the option of being at home if we wish. It's far less expensive and improves a person's quality of life so much.
Almost everyone can be nursed at home. We care for Elders (with and without Dementia), Stroke Recovery Clients, Surgery Recovery Clients, long Term Disability Clients and of course the terminally ill.
