Early Experiences in Caregiving
Evolving as a Caregiver

“For me, caregiving started at an early age helping to take care of my great-grandmother and she was the easiest with just the basics care. As time went on I took care of my grandfather who suffered a stroke which left him partially paralyzed on the left side of his body. At the end of his life, he was able to walk with assistance but life was never the same for him. The most complex case was caregiving for my mother who had multiple health issues and with her, I was exposed to many new resources and expanded my calling as a caregiver. I will forever hold them all in my heart and appreciate all the stories and love that they shared with me.”
- Macrina Lefthand, Senior Services Case Manager of Taos Pueblo
