I do this with my heart I make it my main focus and dedicate my all to giving the most loving, responsible care. I have a natural way about myself to understand what a patient needs. To me the elderly, dementia patients or ill patients all must have the best care given to them always making sure to treat them with the highest respect and dignity. what attractive me to caregiving was caring for my brother when he was in ICU for two weeks. I realized then the important difference that getting private care can give a patient. being able to help someone feel better after a surgery or illness. or happier during their last days if they are on hospice is so important to me. I enjoy the happy results of a patient feeling better after an illness or surgery. seeing them regain their independence and health back if very rewording. when they are hospice patients what I have learned to enjoy the most is hearing their life stories and seeing them be so happy with someone being there to visit them and help them out with any challenges. As heart breaking as it is when a hospice patient is at the end of life, to me is very important that they do not suffer or feel alone and scared. I make sure they feel loved and have the most dignity until the very end. my most personal achievement was with my last patient. she had been given two weeks to life in 2015 I didn't let that be an issue in my care for her. I had the honor of living with her and caring for her for two years and three months, until she recently passed away in arms in Nov 2017. I am still in contact with the family sharing lots of memories.
