I'm a very caring person who enjoys the company of the Elderly. Also I'm very patient. I had the personal experience of taking care of my mother for 12 years. She had two open heart surgeries, stroke, broken hip, CHF and worked daily with Hospice for over a year. She had wounds on her legs (due to edema) that I had to tend to every day. I fed, bathed and dressed her. I also was a caregiver for two of my friends Mothers of which Hospice was involved also. I wish I would have gone into the Health field as I believe I would have made a difference.
