Nursing Care Services
Since 2007 I have gained an abundance of nursing experience in various environments, continuing to enhance skills and obtain additional certifications and perform research based best practice so that I am always providing excellent care to my clients. My primary service offered is caring for adult clients who are in the final stages of life-limiting illnesses and seeking private comfort care at home. I also offer short term respite services for families of palliative and senior clients so that they may rejuvenate for their own well-being while having peace of mind knowing their loved ones are safe and well cared for in their absence. I work with community physicians, allied health care coordinators and agencies, specialty pharmacies and medical equipment suppliers to assist in facilitating the care I provide.
