When I'm caring for my seniors, I take care of them as if they are my grandparent. I never met my grandmother because she died before I was born so that love in my heart that I would have had for her is distributed to each of my seniors. I began visiting nursing homes and just walk into the first room I saw a senior in and I would just sit there and listen to the wisdom that they have and learn from them. For the demented and Alzheimer patients, I would get them in their comfort zone talking about their childhood or past experiences because they felt in control of their mind at that time because they knew and remembered exactly what they were talking about and that would bring them so much confidence and it would bring me so much joy to see their faces light up knowing that they were in control of their memory right at that particular moment. It's priceless. This is exactly the way I am today with my seniors. I love each one of them and it brings me so much joy to see them full of confidence. The beauty of my time with my senior is that, if the family will allow me to love who they love, the connection between me and the senior is priceless and the family will gain trust and peace with having me be a part of their senior's life...
