I have taken care of the elderly for many years and it in it's self is very rewarding. I started working as a caregiver for the mentally disabled and i will admit it started as a job, but with time I fell in love with hearing where they came from their life challenges. I have worked in facilities as well as private home care. The worst part was seeing the injustice some patients go through which is why I went to nursing school for "Vocational Nursing" and am currently awaiting my testing approval. I am here to serve to suggest what is best, not to tell you how to live or to force my beliefs on anyone.
