I became a Caregiver primarily to help my Mom 30 years ago. I cared for her the last 16 months of her life by myself at our home in Hayward. She had Alzheimers and passed away from complications of the disease. I also worked at the PA Veteran's Hospital when I was 17 as a nurse's aide which served as the springboard and inspiration to work as a Caregiver. I enjoyed the experience of making a difference in someone's life who needed and depended on assistance, patience, love and redpect! I am personally proud of the Care giving for Mom, which entailed everything from personal care, including daily shower, grooming ( I actually learned to do her hair quite well with mouse, lifter, hairspray and making her curls quite pronounced)' meal and medication prep, exercising, errands, medical appts, bathroom assistsnce, game playing, companionship and loving! She passed away at 91, but looked like 70! I also recently worked at assisted living facility as a Companion to 80 yr old gentleman with dementia who was a nightmare you the staff to control and even bit severely a staff worker. In 2 months I had won over his respect, his confidence and friendship! Before working at A`egis Gardens in Fremont, the gentleman's behavior almost resulted in his expulsion from the facility! I eon him over with patience, respect, and love that amazed his family.
