A Memphis Caregiver’s Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Bobbie Colston, caregiving has become a calling rooted in love, family, and a lifetime of showing up for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After spending more than 40 years working in the medical field in billing and management, Bobbie retired \u2014 but it didn\u2019t take long before she felt called back to work. Caregiving felt natural. Having cared for her own mother in a nursing home and walking closely alongside her late husbands through serious illness, caring for others was already a part of who she is. \u201cI was raised to treat people the way you want to be treated,\u201d she says. \u201cI like to treat my clients like they\u2019re my own family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best Part About Being A Memphis Caregiver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What does she enjoy most about being a caregiver in Memphis? The connection. Bobbie finds deep joy in the everyday rhythms of care \u2014 making sure someone is comfortable, dressing them, keeping their home clean and welcoming, taking them out for a drive or to enjoy a meal together. \u201cIt makes me feel good to let them know everything\u2019s going to be okay,\u201d she shares. \u201cJust being there for them \u2014 that\u2019s what keeps me coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Bobbie, caregiving means laughter, companionship<\/a>, and helping someone feel seen and valued, not just accommodating their physical needs. She believes going the extra mile looks different for every client, and she takes time to understand each person\u2019s personality and what brings them joy. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about taking care of them,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s about loving them and letting them know they can count on you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Caregiver’s Self-Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to caring for herself, Bobbie focuses on staying healthy \u2014 physically and emotionally \u2014 so she can continue doing the work she loves. Even while navigating personal stress and life changes, she remains motivated by her connection with clients. As someone who loves people, spending time with loved ones and maintaining meaningful relationships are necessary experiences that help feed her passion for caregiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
