About Barbara

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have worked with seniors much of my life. From October 1986 through October 2008, I owned and operated a successful health club with my husband. I was a senior adviser for the health care program. I designed and implemented fitness classes for seniors and worked with members who had Alzheimer's. I moved to Ohio in 2015 and have been doing care giving ever since. It is my calling! I have done in home hospice, and early, and mid-stage Alzheimer's care. I just recently finished a two year position where I was a house manager/personal assistant in addition to head caregiver for a lovely woman. I have experience with catheters, feeding tubes, cancer treatments, pain management, stroke rehab, Parkinson's, and wound care. I believe that seniors have wisdom that only time can produce, and I have always felt honored to be a part of their care.

Barbara was an incredible blessing for our family in providing care for our elderly parents. She was invaluable in allowing our parents to stay in their own home. Barbara has all the qualities you would want in someone caring for your loved ones. She is kind, patient, organized, knowledgeable, flexible, extremely reliable and a great communicator. Both of our parents have complicated medical issues and Barbara was knowledgeable in her understanding of many of the issues they were dealing with. She learned quickly special medical needs she was not familiar with. Barbara went above and beyond for our family on many occasions, including helping us cover shifts at the hospital over the hours she normally worked when my parents were in the hospital so that they were never alone. She was also so thoughtful in renting some of their favorite movies from the library and bringing them games they enjoyed to keep them engaged and active during the day. We are forever grateful for the exceptional care and kindness she provided our family. We highly recommend her and would hire her again in a heartbeat. She truly has a passion for caring for people.
