• Community Nurse

  • Apr 2014 - Aug 2015

  As the Community Nurse (RN) I led and managed the day-to-day healthcare operations of the company's newest community. Fostering a non-clinical, resident centered approach to the planning and delivery of services to our residents was an honor. Treating our residents with dignity and respect, while supporting their individual rights to participate in decision making was at the forefront of each day. I assured that each residents' care needs were met by coordinating with our care teams, families, physicians, and other outside service providers--as we collaboratively supported each resident in living their life to the fullest. I provided ongoing training, supervision, and support to our Personal Assistants (care staff) as they delivered personalized care, medication, and other health related services to our residents.

Private Care Services (independent)

• Care Manager/Consultant/Personal Assistant

  • Apr 2007 - Apr 2014

  Upon leaving Avamere an opportunity was presented for me to provide private in-home care to a woman in the Pearl District. It was with her that I began my journey of working independently for families in our community. Over a 7 year timespan I had multiple clients who I managed care for, and/or was the primary care provider to. Most of this time was spent providing daily support to the client, and their families, in the comforts of their own home.

Elite Care/Oatfield Estates

• Resident Service Coordinator/House Director

  • Sep 2003 - Oct 2006

  Oatfield Estates (Elite Care) is an innovative, elder directed, facility that provides a home-like environment to its residents. I began my tenure as a Personal Assistant/caregiver, providing direct care and medication management to residents. I later became Administrative Assistant to our campus Administrator. A short while later I was promoted to the position of House Director (Administrator) of the Jefferson House. Responsibilities included: scheduling, budgeting, staffing, quality assurance, chair of the campus safety committee, state survey readiness, service planning, assuring quality resident care and well being, resident empowerment, relationship building, as well as a variety of other duties. Elite care was an incredible team to be a part of ...and a great stepping stone toward my desired health care career (nursing). Elite Care's concepts and philisophies of elder care are an inspiration that I believe other facilities would greatly benefit in emulating. Show less
