preparing to provide essential care for your aging Loved One.
My name is Christina.
I was a CNA for 24 years who worked with older folks to help care for and provide daily needs. Then My own mother needed me, so I stepped away to take care of the person who needed me most. I have now seen both sides of the care needed and given to our aging population. My goal here is to help inform and prepare family members for caring for a loved one.

I am a former Healthcare professional who used my years of experience and knowledge to care for my aging mother. I would have NEVER put her in a nursing home. Why, you ask? Because I've worked in homes before. I'd rather care for my mother in the comfort of her own home. Nursing homes are not a bad fit for most, however I preferred to take care of my mom on my terms. That is exactly what I did! I’m glad I did. I was able to see her care from both sides, as a healthcare professional and as a family member. The downside is that I ‘was not completely prepared for what I was getting into.
Here I hope to help alleviate the burden and reduce the stress of caring for an aging parent for you.
