Based on my experience with the care of elderly, Alzheimer’s, and therapeutic recreation I am confident that I will be a great addition to your team. My education in therapeutic recreation has made me a strong advocate of its positive impact on improving and maintaining physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning, preventing secondary health conditions, and enhancing independent living skills and overall quality of life. The last seven years, during which I cared for my 80 year old mother-in-law in our home, has increased my appreciation and love of the elderly and their family members. Lastly, having experienced being a family member of two Alzheimer’s sufferers (my paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather), has given me a greater understanding of their needs and feelings as well as those of their family. I am excited about the Care Manager/Care Provider position. I have a great love for the elderly and would like to make a positive contribution in the lives of the elderly participating in the senior living program at . Please strongly consider me for this position. I would appreciate the opportunity to review my qualifications with you in more detail and look forward to meeting you in the near future. With my best regards, Holly Z. Toomey 091103
