Elder Care Provider
Serving Families and Facilities in Tampa
Jesse’s unique perspective comes from his up bringing as a young child living in the woods without modern conveniences, ex. electricity or running water. Then later his international travels to Bolivia, Columbia, Ecuador, and Mexico collaborating with “Doctors without Borders” in remote villages with similar accommodations from his up bringing as a child.
Furthermore, before Jesse entered into the health care field, he was a primary caregiver to his elderly Italian grandparents. After his grandfather passed, he was responsible for the wellbeing of his grandmother “Nani”, who had advanced dementia. Jesse was unaware at the time his grandmother had “dementia”. It was brought to his attention after multiple admission to the hospital when a trusted Nurse commented to him how confused his grandmother presented. Initially Jesse was defensive, but slowly realized with increased inquiry and education that yes his grandmother does have “something” different about her now diagnosed as dementia. Ironically, not one health care provider offered appropriate medications to help with her behavioral disturbances while residing at home. She was Jesse’s best friend, when she passed Jesse was compelled and driven to help other family members who’s loved ones were going through similar experiences with their own unique variations of caregiving.
“My true passion is to ameliorate and treat the various geriatric mental health conditions. Particularly, dementia and to educate caregivers of the trials and tribulations of caring for a loved one with dementia, which can bring an improved or higher quality of life to those who’s lives are deteriorating with every passing day.
