Camille is our 28 year old daughter living in her own apartment in Walnut Creek.
She requires full time caregiving as she is unable to walk and has limited use of hands.
She has myriad health problems and is ideally trying to live her best life. However, she is plagued with a devastating condition (Neurofibromatosis type 2) and constant UTIs. She has a boyfriend and a cat and dog :)
She cannot walk and she must be lifted to go the bathroom or bed. When things are stable, she loves life, creates beautiful poetry (published author of 2 poetry books) and loves to get outside. When the challenges hit, she struggles with health anxiety and sadness.
We have a great care team currently and need ONE more superstar to join the team
Her total care hours are typically 6:30 am - 8 pm
