Aishah

FROM CALIFORNIA

My name is Aishah and I am a caregiver for my brother Robert. My brother has stage 4 congestive heart failure. I became his caregiver starting in 2012. He had to retire and focus on his health. Being his caregiver I cook his meals (Type 2 Diabetic) plan, take him to his doctor visits, clean his house, take him shopping and all other needs he may have of me. My biggest challenge is to keep him focused on his diet for Diabetic plan and taking his medication daily. My care for his needs is done on a monthly basis.
