About Kwang Sung(Kevin)

Kwang Sung Ko (Kevin) – Caregiver I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with experience providing personalized care to both male and female clients, including assistance with changing briefs, personal hygiene, and mobility support. My focus is on enhancing the well-being and comfort of those I care for by offering support with personal care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and companionship. I hold a major in Social Work and a minor in Gerontology, which has given me a strong foundation in understanding the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of older adults. My academic background complements my hands-on caregiving experience, allowing me to provide holistic and person-centered care. Since October 2024, I have been providing home hospice care for an elderly couple. The husband, nearing 90 years old, has Alzheimer's disease, is completely bedbound, and requires oxygen therapy for COPD. His wife, who was 76, had dementia with an anal fistula and also required oxygen therapy. Both had Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders and were in need of 24/7 care. Sadly, the wife passed away two weeks ago, and the husband is now transitioning to a facility. My responsibilities included: Medication Management: Administering prescribed medications and pain relief with the family's permission. Wound Care: Dressing and managing the wife's anal fistula. Personal Care: Assisting with activities of daily living, including changing briefs and maintaining hygiene for both male and female clients. Meal Preparation: Cooking nutritious meals tailored to their dietary needs. Companionship: Providing emotional support and engaging in meaningful activities to enhance their quality of life. Respiratory Support: Monitoring and assisting with breathing difficulties, including administering nebulizer treatments. Bowel Management: Addressing constipation and assisting with bowel movements. Communication with Healthcare Providers: Reporting issues such as catheter leaks, pain, sudden coughs, and fevers to the hospice care team. Daily Reporting: Documenting and communicating daily observations and care provided to the family and charge nurse. Managing Agitation: Addressing symptoms of agitation, including confusion and crying, by implementing comfort measures and communicating with the healthcare team. I have also worked with a couple of home healthcare companies in the past. However, I left those positions because the locations were too far from my home. With the transition of my clients, I am now seeking new opportunities. I am currently enrolled in a CNA program, which I will complete by March 6, 2025. Post-completion, I will be available for work. Thank you for considering my application—I appreciate the opportunity!
