For anyone in the Southern California (more specifically, Orange, San Diego, Riverside and Los Angeles Counties) I wanted to let you know that I have begun working as a case manager for a small, Christian, family owned company that provides caregivers, LVN's and companions for patients in the surrounding area.
I didn't intend to get a job after Linda died in November. It was something that just fell into my lap (actually I believe God worked it out) and I felt that I had the perfect experience (having cared for a PALS for 4+ years as a friend) to help me know how to help patients and their families looking for a caregiver for their loved ones. My job includes interviewing every nurse and caregiver we hire and speaking with patients and their families to determine what their needs are.
I have gotten to know several of the caregivers both professionally and personally and am amazed at the level of compassion, skill, patience and honest to goodness love that I've witnessned them give to their patient.
Besides the quality of caregivers we use, the most important and coolest thing to me about the company I work for is that we pray for the patient and caregiver most mornings.
THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT AND I WILL NOT MENTION THE NAME OF THE COMPANY.
My only reason for posting this information is because I remember trying to find and hire a caregiver for Linda when I couldn't be there. I didn't know who to trust and the agencies I called were large and impersonal. It seemed to me that they just matched a caregiver in the area to an address without consideration of individual needs or temperment.
I hope me posting this is not a problem for anyone. I really only mean to be helpful.
If anyone is needing help finding a caregiver you can private message me and I will give you any information you would like.
