My name is Cristina Rodriguez and I am a current member of Golden Steps.

When I started working with one of our clients, she had problems with smoking and alcoholism, despite the fact that her main condition to take care of was her Alzheimer’s disease. She was also quite below a healthy weight because she ate only chocolates, ice cream and sometimes she did not eat at all because she preferred to smoke and drink beer.

I have been lucky to have the support of her family regarding suggestions and small changes in her routine, so together, working as a team, we have achieved that today, she has gone from smoking 40 cigarettes a day to just 4 in 24 hours, and from 24 beers a day to 0 beers today, her doctors are happy and her family even more because she totally gave up alcohol and greatly reduced the number of cigarettes a day and now she is at a healthy weight.

My satisfaction is knowing that I can do something for others and feel useful knowing that I can continue doing a good job with our clients at Golden Steps.

In 2019, apply for a job where a person was required to assist a patient at night. Coincidentally, on the day of the interview, the lady had had an incident so after a phone chat, I started working twice a week. I was very happy because I had gotten the job, after a short time my patient asked me to work with her all week, at that time I had other commitments, but seeing that my massage therapies comforted her and helped her rest, I assumed the commitment to work full time. I knew that my care and dedication would make her feel better and raise her quality of life.
