I was in a loving relationship with my husband for 13 years and we have three beautiful kids together. Things started changing when he got this new job that paid more, i started getting suspicious but i could never confirm anything until a colleague of mine introduced me to this computer surgeon hacker. He helped me spy on my husband without any physical access to her phone, i was able to receive his phone text messages and also messages from all his social media accounts in real time. Contact him today and thank me later Tell him i referred you

A group of caregivers (a family-type, mother/daughter/daughters husband/and cousin/ robbed our father of $350,000.00 within 3 week period when he had a stroke, and put a new will in front of him that he signed, 2 days before his final stroke/terminal illness.AS part of the aftermath, we did a State court case search on their name, address, and maiden names and other married names they had. They had 2 bankruptcies, plus a civil suit with a financial institution. HAD this court case search been done ahead of time, this might have diverted my father to use a different persons altogether, or institution that is BONDED. They were paid well by my father, but that was not enough.

The California. Health care passed a requirement for all care provider to be register with the state a ID number is given and is public also a back ground is done and finger print is also done. So love one's know what kind of people they are hiring.as a care giver i think the was one of the greatest think the state did now seniors that want to hire private caregiver can just call the home care bureau and ask about there back ground. Just with the register caregiver ID number. And said good bye to expensive home care agencies. Why pay the middle man when you can pay the person that cares for you

My name is Jeannie Smith I am 35 years old. I have worked in the medical field for 11 years. In those 11 years I have obtained a CNA, CMA, a current CPR and first aid. I have completed all except for 12 weeks of my practical nursing I attended college at Kaplan University in Omaha,NE. I have worked in places such as: nursing homes, assisted living, specialty units (dementia, brain damage), nursing agencies, in home care (private pay), multiple hospitals. I have worked with patients/residents with a variety of aliments such as: dementia, Alzheimer's, cerebral palsy, brain injuries, cancer, paralysis/prosthesis. I feel God places you in different situations and that he's put me in specific situations to make me a better person. I feel that these situations have made me a better CNA such as my brother suffering a coma due to being hit by a drunk driver and my other brother suffering major brain damage and bed ridden due to a massive heart attack/stroke. I know God has placed me here to care for others. And I do that through being a CNA. I love what I do with a passion.

This is beautiful! I write blog for Age & The City dementia care services (www.ageandthecity.com/blog) and have posted about hiring caregivers. However, I would look hard into the agency itself to see if they provide ONGOING training, because many agencies cannot be bothered to do so.
